Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 15, 2026

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.

I finally did it. Arranged Ozempic with an online clinic after failing to make any starts with losing around 10-15kg I wanted to lose for years. Any tips and tricks from mottizens?

The only time it's really worked for me has been while doing keto. Be careful not to eat too much on day 7 when the medication is wearing off and you're about to get your next shot; that's when your appetite will be largest and simultaneously when your dosage is about to be at its highest.

Doing keto was the only time in my life when I purposefully lost weight. But it is really difficult to sustain for me without having a lot of free time to meal-prep etc. Do you mean you weren't losing weight on it without also doing keto?

For me semaglutide basically had two effects--it decreased my appetite and slowed my digestion down. Unfortunately the latter effect was much stronger than the former. When I wasn't doing keto I'd frequently still eat too much and end up mostly-incapacitated for a day by my body's instinct to vomit. Keto brought appetite and physical capacity mostly in line, though the last day before the next dose was sometimes still tough.

I haven't heard of anyone else with this experience so hopefully you fare better.

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!
