Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 29, 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 suspect somewhat that the experienced effects of psychedelics are less important for long-term mood changes than they look. Or, at least, that it's actually more productive to hang out with friends or watch a good movie than it is to strive after "insights" during a trip. Medical grounds are probably the easiest way to get ketamine, but there's always TOR.

I did end up hanging out with friends and mostly enjoying it. I've got a full essay almost cooked in the oven, if you want, I can ping you when it's out. Might even be tonight, given my observed preference for procrastination when it comes to studying for my exams.

(I am perhaps unnecessarily scared of the DW, but it strikes me as a bit of a hassle. I'd have to buy crypto, and I live on a visa. Eh, it's an option for the future!?

With regard to the darknet, I would recommend - if it becomes an option of interest to SWIY at some point - going on Dread (darknet reddit) and browsing/lurking to figure out how things work for people living in the UK. The advice on there is generally good, but you have a ton of privacy rights in the US that I don't know if the UK has (e.g. the government can't open your mail willy-nilly). But my understanding is that DNMs are a significantly bigger phenomenon in the UK than the US adjusting for country size.

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!
