Hmmmmm. Tempting, but I'm going to sit this one out. I love Factorio, I am currently 1500 hours into my Pyanodon run (after beaten several other overhaul mods). But I don't think I would enjoy multiplier Factorio. I'm very chill and hands off about most things in life, but when I care about a thing I CARE about the thing. I want to be in charge. I play Factorio so that I can put each and every thing exactly where I want it and do things when and how I want to do them. I don't hyper-optimize things perfectly, I just kind of optimize things when I feel like they need to. I spaghetti my way around, but since I did everything I understand everything and I can go around and work with my own messes that I made earlier, and when something goes wrong it's my fault and there's no one to get mad at other than myself (or bug monsters, but those aren't in Pyanodons).

Factorio is my own little world where I can mess around and have control over everything. If I played with people my nastier pettier side would come out and I would get annoyed at people and then be annoying at people in turn for things I didn't think they were doing right, but then also feel insecure about things other people thought I wasn't doing right. I understand the appeal of playing it multiplayer, but it's not for me.

I will support you from a distance and wish you the best of luck.

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!
