When you live in a democracy, if 51% of people want something to be legal it will be legal.

What if they don't believe that it's good or want it to be legal? Do you not understand the distinction here? Are you claiming that you have never, in your life, wanted or been tempted to do something that you philosophically believe to be wrong and would not publicly endorse or vote to make legal?

I think you misread me. I said if 51% of people want something to be legal it will be legal. Not if they ever want something at all they will think it should be legal. However, I am claiming that if most men were primarily attracted to 16 year olds, then they would want sex and marriage with 16 year olds to be fully legal. This is because attraction is strong, and the reasons underpinning high ages of consent are incredibly weak and unjustified. In addition, common man morality is mostly just herd selfishness. I gave examples of this in the other comment chain, and this thought underpins a lot of my recent writing here. I am always revealing how immoral and hypocritical the average person is. They are always declaring their own evil licit because it is common, in every corner of life. This should be expected based on the selfish gene, rational utility man, the elephant in the brain, and so on.

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!
