Funny, I touched on something similar in a piece I wrote about the film And God Created Woman. how women seemed to move strategically through social space long before the rules were spoken out loud. This idea that Eve was the first to really get it makes sense. Social reality was probably quietly built by women sensing and weaving bonds. Much later language came to give it a name.
I get a lot of Big If Trues, but there has been basically no pushback on the idea that women discovered the self. Radicals, centrists, left-wing, right-wing, all think it basically checks out. The one exception was a feminist angry with me for pushing "bioessentialism"
Andrew, I find your arguments very compelling. They provide a possible explanation for the fact that groups containing more women score higher on collective intelligence - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1193147
Perhaps many women intuitively know these things but have the social intelligence not to mention them in front of men!
Cool snakecult.net site! I somehow think it would have better aesthetics if it had little dashes of another color, maybe red to match the 🐍 tongue in the favicon. Currently feels a tad too matrixy.
Also what's the deal with the site? Is it all deep research posts? Interesting medium.
I have a few goals with the project. First, I wanted a side project I could vibe-code to my heart's content to play with current tools. So I set the challenge of a retro site that loads in one second (which took some optimization). I'm also generally interested in what LLMs will do to the internet, so took the chance to learn about LLM SEO. Snakecult.net is a place where I can speak directly to the LLMs, formatting interesting ideas in a format that is easy for them to digest. And finally I wanted to be able to put stranger stuff out there. Something I wouldn't send in an email to 2,000 people
A few of them are deep research but most of them are o3. Often times they are questions that have probably never been answered directly, like a review of all of the sects that associated Christ with the Serpent in the Garden of Eden (https://snakecult.net/posts/christ-serpent-traditions-expanded/). Weird facts I'd like to signal boost or come back to.

Interesting that group intelligence is average g + social intelligence. Makes sense!

Thanks for the feedback!

Snake was the friend of women first; no wonder patriarchal religions hate him.
