      So those are some thoughts on the semantic aspects of why the term "inter-intellect" feels off to me. (The "inter" part is great. Everything is deeply intertwingled.) As I thought about this more I noticed there are also syntactical reasons I find the term weird.pic.twitter.com/2kQFOqqVXq

      Anna uses the term as... a singular noun > "Why you probably belong to an inter-intellect and why this matters" This suggests that I.I. is the name for the community, not someone in it... who is, I guess, an "inter-intellectual"? 🤨

      Yet indefinite article "an" suggests that there could be dozens or hundreds of inter-intellects out there. As if it means "a group of people who connect on the internet out of shared (meta)interests." But then "The I.I." (eg @whatstheii) uses "the", implying there's just one!pic.twitter.com/FAi2CNpOkH

      @yashkaf's comment on the original post illustrates this very confusion: (And probably we need terms for both of these things! The rationality community represents a relatively successful precursor to what Anna & other ii folks are trying to do here!) https://medium.com/@yashkaf/my-life-story-is-very-similar-to-annas-i-m-a-double-immigrant-who-finally-ended-up-in-nyc-in-his-e1b5fbc93b85 …pic.twitter.com/GlDUJJUBWd

      Whew, feels good to write that all out. Again, I love the *referent* that Anna is pointing at here. It's me! It's my people! 🥰 (I'm not at the middle of this cluster but I am in it) I wrote this whole tweetstorm because I'm hoping for a different signifier.pic.twitter.com/hUe0tAi2Ir

      ...and I don't have an alternate name idea.🙃 In my head, I've been thinking of this cluster as being kind of meta-rational / meta-modern, but I'm guessing that those terms are somehow simultaneously too broad & too narrow for what Anna's pointing at (in different dimensions)

      Might as well collect some information from everyone who's reading this. This is obviously going to be oversimplified but go with your gut answer to both: Are you in this #InterIntellect cluster & what's your sense of that name?

      And of course reply and lmk what your thoughts are on the name, on the cluster, the relationship between them, alternatives, meta-commentary...

      I read @TheAnnaGat’s post and found it exciting and resonate with it. I also read your post about naming things years ago and thought it was importantly right, and I also have reservations about this particular name.

      Yay! It seems that one of the questions people have is “which informal network is Anna describing here?” And maybe what-to-call-it depends on one’s guess as to the answer…
