How good is your imagination in this arena? Do you have a "mental spank bank" that surpasses the one on your hard drive?

Imagining porn? Like uphill bothways through three meters of snow?

Saving external porn to hard drive sounds like a foreign concept to me in ${CurrentYear}, akin to downloading mp3s from Napster or something.

I do have various POV-filmed sextapes from previous or ongoing ONS/situationships/relationships that I sometimes revisit when I’m all-so-tiresomed out from thot-fatigue and/or browsing porn websites. It’s like the pragmatic-nut version of comfort food: Pretty meh from a Coolidge-Effect perspective, but at least there’s a known outcome.

Also hilarious but horrifying when you see chicks you’ve banged/facialed/whatnot on camera later-on post engagement and/or wedding photos on social media, although generally they will be at least a few months after. Sometimes you might see some of them make #GirlPower posts on LinkedIn.

I’ve never made a video.

But tangential to the latter, I met Young Woman A at Male Friend B’s wedding; we had a short fling as she had just broken up with her boyfriend. It ended when they got back together.

A year or so later, at Male Friend C’s wedding, Young Woman A was a maid of honor. Neither of us had apparently spoken about our fling, as I was seated next to her by-then financée at dinner. I was polite and made no mention — wouldn’t have under normal circumstances and especially so at someone else’s wedding where taking any attention away from the celebration would be inexcusable. But I could tell Young Woman A was sweating a little bit.

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!
