Only a matter of time before we get crow phrenologists.

Like I'm on Xitter
Someone had a pressing need to write the equation of half a circle with center (-0.5,0.5) and radius sqrt(3)/30.
The highschool math on the blackboard... It makes me feel like its advertising targeted at me as a teenager.
They're so smart they avoid learning too much to avoid knowing the unknowable truths
I love them, they look very polite, truly an IQ too high.
I wish there were corvids near where I live, cool ass birds.
Wouldn't be an "I fucking love science" youtube channel without spreading completely outdated bullshit like IQ. How the fuck would you even measure IQ in an animal? You could test intelligence, but you couldn't get an IQ score for them.
I guess the reason IQ persists so much despite being discredited is because it's white supremacist
i'm sure you can create a test for crows with similar methods to how IQ tests are made. and it'll probably be just as worthless.
I want to fuck that crow
It's not bestiality ok, they're very smart. I'll learn crow so I can get enthusiastic consent. It's more like fucking a quirked up little alien dude that really likes seeds
Owls are smarter, this crow just shows off more so he gets more attention like the STUPID CHAD HE IS
Are you sure ?
Posting ridiculous theories or ideas and being hit with this is always funny to me.
it makes me feel seen.
I sometimes have the suspicion that corvids and octopuses are more intelligent than humans on a one-to-one basis, but are hampered by their limited ability to share culture and build upon knowledge generation on generation. Worse for octopuses because they are solitary and don't parent their young after they hatch.
corvids (and other smart birds) are definitely smarter than humans when adjusted for brain size. mammal brains seem to be worse than bird brains.
if that's the case than why didn't the moa or whatever other extinct giant birds repel the ape invaders?
brain size is a pretty limited metric
A Zappffean overflow of intelligence is leading to crows getting depressed. They spent too much time around humans.
That corvid thinks he's better than me.
