Be advised: this thread is not for serious in-depth discussion of weighty topics (we have a link for that), this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

I wonder if it has this kind of built-in knowledge of all minor internet hangouts, or is the Motte special?

It got me from two short old rpgnet tangency open posts, less than 3k words total. And rpgnet was notoriously unsearchable and poorly indexed, and these posts are over a decade old. Maybe they were able to get a full-forum download for training data, but even then that level of compression would be astonishing.

Worse, it got me as one of four candidates from a series of very short fandom drafts I never published anywhere (and while I did store them online, did so under a different username for my online storage). These drafts are all over a decade old.

I am using my psuedonym as my claude account, but I've not used claude for any writing or serious prose analysis before this point. Web search is disabled in both cases.

On one hand, being compared to Tempo is a real compliment; on the other hand, what the actual fuck.

EDIT: further testing couldn't get from my adult AO3 account (sole work published April 16th) to my name (guessed Robert Baird, which goes right past 'compliment' into 'blowing smoke up my ass'; I'm nowhere near Baird's skill). Which does have some stylistic differences, and very specific content focuses, but honestly less so than the Pokemon draft that was inspired by a very specific mindset at the time.

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!
