If you’re a big-headed guy or gal at a rationalist puddle cuddle, double check that your rubbers didn’t get punctured.

    Our brain shape science basically boils down to:

    • missing big pieces usually makes it work less well.
    • folds and creases seem good?
    • Not too much fluid!
    • Not too little either!
    • front part seems pretty important for thinking.
    • middle too.
    • “stuff” in the brain is almost always bad for thinking. Like rocks and things. Neurons, blood and the right blend of fluids are great.
    • phrenology is pretty wrong. Like, super wrong.

    Beyond that, we know a bunch of stuff about brains and neurons and how they all piece together, but just based on lookin’, we’re pretty bad at judging a person based on their head and brain.
