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.
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.
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
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.

Incorrect, my mother has the largest vagina. Therefore I am the smartest.
Calm down Dwight

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!

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.
There’s the issue, like with most of his ventures, Elon outsources all the actual work.
From my understanding, the ratio of brain size to body size is a much better way of getting a general estimate for intelligence.
I think general intelligence estimation mostly ends up being flawed ethically.
Only cross species not within a single species.
