Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 19, 2023

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.

Hi all, I was just curious on the opinions around here that people have regarding the paranormal? These types of events are also known as High Strangeness (theres a whole subreddit dedicated to it).

I've personally witnessed things throughout life that I can't properly explain and reading books, such as Surviving Death by Leslie Kean, has further reinforced my view that there really are things going on around us that one day may be understandable but elude us right now, such as UFOs (which are now being taken more seriously by the media).

I know this community has many smart people in it, who might be understandably sceptical if they havent witnessed anything paranormal first hand, but I think the study of high strangeness would massively benefit by more intelligent people taking it seriously.

Does anyone have interesting stories they could share of things they've witnessed that are unexplainable?

Nick Pope's non-fiction book The Uninvited made a big impression on me as a child and I read it several times since. I'm not going so far as to say I actually believe in UFOs and alien abduction, but the book was certainly thought-provoking and creepy.

I don't believe I've ever had a personal experience which I would characterise as paranormal or supernatural.

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!
