If he thinks that a physically larger brain means you’re smarter that means that he is likely a turbo-sexist.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

he is likely a turbo-sexist

we knew that already. he's got like twenty kids and hes IVFing them all to be sons.

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

He ended up with a daughter anyway he-laughed

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, I assumed he was a regular misogynist at the very least. But he hasn’t come out and infantilised women for being inherently less intelligent. The only people who are obsessed with brain size are the chauvinists who consider women as children mentally.

God dangit bobby, have you been creating white people in the basement again

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 29 points 2 days ago

Oh snap, they're spoiling King of the Hill revival episodes in here!

[–] pierre_delecto@hexbear.net 52 points 2 days ago

Does he think our heads, and thus brains, don't grow post birth? Those unfused bones are just for fun?

[–] machiabelly@hexbear.net 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Anything that is what women usually do is wrong. If most women got C sections in the USA then he'd be saying how C sections infuse baby boys with cowardice or some other bs

Coward sections kelly

(Both options are pretty nuts in terms of pain and recovery, they are not cowardly)

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is what's happening now where I live. Men advocating for "natural birth".

[–] machiabelly@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

BITCH WTF DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BIRTH???? Why the fuck do right wingers feel so empowered to tell doctors how to perform a birth??? The Audacity!

thurston

(yes I know I just explained why yes I will still rant and be angry thank you)

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So... he thinks the brain gets squeezed down during birth?

This is some Lamarckian evolution level of shit

[–] regul@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think he's saying that relying on vaginal births has put a cap on how big human brains can evolve to be.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm afraid he means for specific individual development, not just overall evolution. Apparently he's tried to pressure several of his surrogate baby-mommas into medically unnecessary c-sections.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago

whoof

I guess that's what I get for giving the world's most famous dumbass the benefit of the doubt

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think that's probably what he heard from some pop-sci ~~article~~ video summarizing actual evolutionary biology, and then he proceeded to misunderstand it in the dumbest possible way and incorporate it into the writhing mass of brainworms animating him.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

probably heard it from Jordan Peterson

side note, i completely forgot that guy's name and it was surprisingly hard to find him.. ended up finding him by searching "youtube right wing pedo guy"

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm shocked you found him with that search, seems like a needle in a needlestack situation

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Sometimes the algorithm just knows

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Reddit will remind you

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

The reason I'm so dumb is also women's fault.

here's a hint: on any statistic you want to be as far from Mississippi as possible

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

really feeling inverse correlation on this one

[–] christian@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was born by C-section! I'm glad we finally have an explanation for how I ended up less stupid than Elon Musk, we got to the bottom of it guys.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

C-section BABIES RISE UP

[–] smokeppb@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago

Hearing this come out of his mouth makes me glad people disagree with me sometimes. He wouldn't be this dumb if not for the sycophants around him 24/7.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

smuglord Julius Caesar had one and he was the smartest person who ever lived ever (besides me, of course)

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This guy definitely understands how evolution works. data-laughing

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That could make sense, in a million years long run.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

But probably wouldn't

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Evolution already found a workaround for Musk’s concern. They are called brain folds. (Sorry koalas)

Many of the “less evolved” hominids had larger brains than Homo sapiens sapiens. Brain size correlates strongly with body size because most of what a brain does is not related to abstract reasoning, but core functions which we don’t consciously manage. Many mammals have larger brains than humans for this reason.

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

The breeding fetish guy shaming women for giving birth... asa-brow

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago

Yhea, this is why the only intelligent mammals are marsupials.

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

if that's the case then the guy must've been passed from 50 vaginas damn

[–] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call em penial but wait till he sees how hyena births go i-cant

[–] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Yeah especially when you consider the size of the baby being delivered sadness-abysmal

melon-musk unironically wants to create Dune Navigators. The ~~Spice~~ C-Sections must Flow!

EDIT: I found this while searching for the above image and I had to share.

I'm not USAmerican. We in Kerala had a case where home birth went wrong and the mother died. The husband didn't call the emergency services for hours while the wife was bleeding out.

https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/rose-of-jericho-and-home-birth-deaths-in-malappuram-1.10496395

Musk is on the other side of the pendulum here. I hope the people who follow him would likely spread awareness of the risk home birth or atleast the need for ready medical assistance.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

Is this real?

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

It's the other way around, large brains are a selection pressure for biggus-dickus
