What is everyones thoughts? I figured this much. This definitely makes sense. Especially when it comes to math. This is coming from my experience.

    What? You have a small intercranial volume? Yuck, yuck. J/K

    Will people start getting skull implants so they have bigger hat sizes and can fool their friends into thinking they are really smart? :vimp:

    Stuff like this is all just a shadow of terrible things to come. It is remenicient of the old racist and deragatory BS about how certain races and families are just born to be smart/rich/leaders, etc. For as long as there is human life on this planet, there will be people trying to point to some internal, intrinsic factor that CAUSES a person to be who they are. I have no doubt that a gene determines the size of the brain, but a gene that determines intelligence .... bull .... $&*#

    It's not about the size of the brain. It's about how many kinks the brain has in it, the overall volume. Two brains can be identical in size, but one can have much more volume. More neuronal connections, and so forth. It's not about the hand you're dealt, but what you do with the hand you're dealt. ;)
