That was not the point I was trying to make. I think our intelligence is likely very similar to those of our Stone Age ancestors. If they were smarter I wouldn’t be surprised. What I was trying to say is that while there is some correlation with brain size and intelligence, you cannot determine intelligence on brain size alone. Men tend to have larger brains than women but similar cognitive abilities. Don’t put words in my mouth I didn’t say.

Right, sort of like how I never said that a smaller brain necessity correlates to less intelligence?

Interesting how you keep twisting my words to make me say things I didn’t say. What part of the word “necessarily” do you not understand? I’ve got bigger problems in my life right now. Go be a dick to someone who’s got time for your nonsense.

Large brain does not necessarily equal more intelligence.

You said that trying to refute a clear joke. You jumped in, on your own, trying to say I'm wrong about a joke and now you're accusing me of being a dick.

If you have bigger problems in life than this at the moment, you should probably be dealing with those. To make things easier, I'll add you to my block list so I can't see or reply to anything else from you.

Ah, I see. Schroedinger’s Asshole. When I call you out on being a dick you go “It’s just a joke, bro”. Have a nice life.
