Mfw when Musk says "vaginal births limit brain size"
(hexbear.net)
what no vagina does to a mfer
God dangit bobby, have you been creating white people in the basement again
Oh snap, they're spoiling King of the Hill revival episodes in here!
So... he thinks the brain gets squeezed down during birth?
This is some Lamarckian evolution level of shit
I think he's saying that relying on vaginal births has put a cap on how big human brains can evolve to be.
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.
whoof
I guess that's what I get for giving the world's most famous dumbass the benefit of the doubt
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.
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"
I'm shocked you found him with that search, seems like a needle in a needlestack situation
Sometimes the algorithm just knows
Reddit will remind you
The reason I'm so dumb is also women's fault.
Does he think our heads, and thus brains, don't grow post birth? Those unfused bones are just for fun?
If he thinks that a physically larger brain means you’re smarter that means that he is likely a turbo-sexist.
he is likely a turbo-sexist
we knew that already. he's got like twenty kids and hes IVFing them all to be sons.
He ended up with a daughter anyway 
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.
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 
(Both options are pretty nuts in terms of pain and recovery, they are not cowardly)
This is what's happening now where I live. Men advocating for "natural birth".
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!
(yes I know I just explained why yes I will still rant and be angry thank you)
Julius Caesar had one and he was the smartest person who ever lived ever (besides me, of course)
et tu, kek? 
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.
This guy definitely understands how evolution works. 
That could make sense, in a million years long run.
But probably wouldn't
here's a hint: on any statistic you want to be as far from Mississippi as possible
So sez Utah
really feeling inverse correlation on this one
Yhea, this is why the only intelligent mammals are marsupials.
What about penial births?
I wouldn't call em penial but wait till he sees how hyena births go 
TIL, poor hyenas.
Yeah especially when you consider the size of the baby being delivered 
It's the other way around, large brains are a selection pressure for 
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.
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.
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.
C-section BABIES RISE UP
Is this real?
if that's the case then the guy must've been passed from 50 vaginas damn
The breeding fetish guy shaming women for giving birth... 
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.
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.
