I don't actually know what you do

Neither do I, anymore. Well, I do know, it's just boring and I'm grouchy about it. My career isn't research involved these days, and given everything the stability of sticking around is preferable to the risk of finding something more satisfying. I do miss those days and Perplexity would've been a godsend back in the day, I'm sure. Might look into it just for fun and to scratch the old itch of wanting to learn more again. That skill has grown stagnant and contributed to other issues.

then I was blown away when it instructed me to go take a picture of both sides of my crank/cassette so it could be certain what we were ordering would fit.

Dang! The paid version, I assume? Starting to wonder if it'll be worth the cost just to help with some minor repairs around the house.

it just regurgitates reviews I could read myself or tells me every garbage idea I have is phenomenal.

Yeah, I've definitely picked up the chat function not being particularly creative and being obsequious unless you run into one of the walls. I've tried refining some creative writing ideas with it a couple months ago but wasn't impressed. As fast as things move it might be worth another shot.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
