Fysa, humans are born with moveable skull plates to accommodate brain growth and development after birth. You learn a lot being an active participant in parenting children.
Also brain size correlates weakly with intelligence scores, but is not a major factor.
Incorrect, my mother has the largest vagina. Therefore I am the smartest.
Calm down Dwight
So… Can we collectively infer from that sentence you were birthed or dropped?
Giraffes do the last and it works but unless you present your Giraffe Card, I’m going to default count you as human and being dropped head first into the floor is not good for human newborns.
But if you are indeed a giraffe: how do you type?

Bonus for dexterity but the average keys would be too small to actuate properly.

My brain hurts after that!
Obsessing over brain size and the hip width of women is a big eugenics / white supremacist thing… the kind of thing the nazis were really into… what a surprise to see Musk spouting this kind of bullshit

There’s the issue, like with most of his ventures, Elon outsources all the actual work.
To be clear, Elon is the idiot in that regard here, and the person he’s replying to, not myself. I understand that perfectly well. If you’re providing this info to the bigots on lemmy at large, good on you then.
And it’s not so much “moveable bones” as it is bones that are still soft and connected by soft fascial sutures called fontanels that harden over time, most likely to make birth easier and to accommodate significant growth for the first stages.
Agreed. Yes, this isn’t aimed at you just anyone who may not know about the subject.
I thought that was the case, but thank you for clarifying.
From my understanding, the ratio of brain size to body size is a much better way of getting a general estimate for intelligence.
Only cross species not within a single species.
I think general intelligence estimation mostly ends up being flawed ethically.
This instantly made my uterus shrivel up like a dried raisin.
phoonk
😂 crying rn
This fucking guy
Nandor?
This fuckin’ guy RIGHT HERE.
Wow, at least it’s better than the “people who had c-sections never gave birth so are not mothers” belief. Still a ridiculous belief, though.
… what?
That’s actually an argument circulating around out there? Just when I thought the debate couldn’t get any lower.
MacDuff’s mum will be fuckin ragin when she hears
Yeah, as per usual it’s hard to tell when people are just trolling or if it’s just completely made up, but I’ve seen it from screenshots of some particularly deranged “moms only” Facebook groups.
All I can do is shake my head at it. Someone carries a child to term, and opts for a manner of birth that was probably safer for their situation, and so the conservative party of family values decides they aren’t technically a mother. That is as dumb and insulting as it can get.
Yeah this is something that has been circulating right wing women’s groups, conservative mom fora, trad wife fora, trad/conservative family channels on YT, etc.
Uhh, and in the 1600s. It’s in MacBeth.
Yeah, cesarean birth has been around a long time. Our first real records of it being performed successfully to today’s standards, both mother and child survive, came form the 1500s. Since then various different places, and cultures, have had different views on it. This one being on that floated with others.
Unbelievable / completely believable
C-section babies can say they were considered important enough to be extracted. (with implications to covert operations)
Not sure if it is actually better. They both seem to be equally horrible and incredibly stupid takes to me.
Hehe, perhaps. To me one seems to have more malice in it than the other, but I could just need some time to really warm up to despising Musk’s statement equally.
That was a trainwreck to read. In slow motion.
Is this him trying to bury this in the search engine results?
In a new Musk biography by Walter Isaacson, which goes into detail about Musk’s life, his relationships, and his children, Grimes reveals that Musk took a photo of her while she was having a C-section for their baby X Æ A-Xii and circulated it without her consent.
More likely just him being stupid and bringing it up in search results more due to some Streisand effect. But your theory is also entirely plausible with him.
Phrenology again?

Oh great, he’s reached the phrenology stage… 💩
I… I can’t even begin.
It really blows my mind how dumb this guy is. Like holy shit
“Historically” you say?.. jfc this guy is a fucking idiot.
He says a four syllable word and his followers lap it up.
Quality nonsense with a grain, the merest speck, of truth.
I’m 14 and just had this shower thought?
Who is Linda Yaccarino?
