Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 13, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

For more context, there's a particular troll who makes a new account, makes posts consisting of a link to an article usually having something to do with white supremacy, adds a bit of commentary, often including a critique of the white supremacist point sufficiently weak to trigger people's instinct to correct obvious errors, and then deletes their post once the thread gets rolling. Then they get banned, and start the whole process over a week or two later. They've been doing this off and on for years now.

I've read here and there about a person continually making accounts but your outlining their MO is new to me, thanks for clarifying. Some people really do have too much time on their hands.

Indeed - that's just one of our regular trolls. There are several who do things like this, with slightly different MOs. (It's possible, even likely, that some of them are the same person.)

I miss Julius Branson. If only we could coax him back instead of the boring trolls.

Hah, I was thinking of him too while reading this thread. He was more interesting than most of the other trolls. I snooped his accounts a year or so ago but it looks like he's mostly stopped posting about "powerology.". What a strange little era that was.

I want the Hock guy back. Surely he's done it by now and, having been on a big hike, is drowning in women

Sometimes wishes come true He was here 4 days ago.

He was commenting again a month or so back, so he's alive and well, and probably not in Alaska.

I think I may have added onto his delusion at one point. In a thread he was involved in, about really unattractive men; short, autistic, ugly, balding men etc, I said to the guy that most women just want those dudes to go wandering off into the frozen wastes (i.e. fuck off and die), and he replied and was convinced I was encouraging a Hock type of trial to prove their value...

Oh, he's still around.

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!
