Small programming note: I migrated the hosting from SoundCloud to Substack because the latter is free and I was paying $16/month for the former. I don't recommend going to the Substack page directly because their "email delivery model" doesn't really make sense to me for podcasts but if I did everything right, new episodes should automatically spread to whatever podcast app you already use (basically everyone copies whatever Apple Podcasts has) but let me know if you encounter any issues.

The infrequent release schedule has basically been my fault entirely, busy and blah blah blah. I know I said this before, but we at the Bailey cooked up a new workflow for producing episodes more frequently that I am very optimistic about, but we'll see how well that works out!

Worked on PodcastAddict.

FYI, for me using Pocket Casts it did not spread automatically and I had to search/subscribe to a separate listing.

It should be fixed now, please lmk

Indeed it is, thank you.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I don't know why exactly there's a duplicate listing for the bailey in Pocket Casts, but I emailed support and hopefully they can fix it.

Can confirm it works on AntennaPod (which I can highly recommend).

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!
