My grandma has a chicken coop, the chickens don't register my presence in particular (food is all they care about if they don't know you too well) but they do register my sister and grandma. It's like they pretend I don't exist. They do enjoy being picked up and petted, and some will come over for it, but they seem so insentient and stupid. One of them got their head torn off through the coop by a raccoon. Went over like ''hello!'' ''Hey!!!🐔💪🦝'' There's a rooster there as well (shh) and it didn't do shit about it?
I know they aren't braindead but I question them being painted out to be these crafty geniuses. They're interesting to me, just... not sharp.

All jokes aside, I don’t think chickens are that bright. |

They aren't smart, but that's because they don't need to be, somewhat similar to sharks.

Multiple Tyrannosaurus (earlier ones that t .rex) have already been proven to be highly intelligent. Daspletosaurus, for example, was a pack hunter - like modern day wolves. There is no reason to just disregard t rex. That is very lousy of you. |

Multiple studies and articles since 2018 have agreed with t.rex having similar cognitive abilities to apes.

Sooo, chickens aren't smart because they don't need to be, yet their ancestors were as intelligent as monkeys! |

How were you unaware of this? Lol? Also chickens are more closely related to smaller dinosaurs. |

All remains very speculative. I don't buy it. Their brains are still proportionately actually quite similar to a chicken's brain in shape and design. I think chickens are smarter than we think, and if t-rex being as smart as an ape is officially "what we think", I think they were DEFINITELY less smart than we think. |

When have you ever bought anything? T.rex had a similar brain to chickens (kinda), but guess what? It also was similar to ravens and crows. That doesn't mean shit is what I'm trying to say. It just isn't as easy as that. |

Yeah, I agree it's not as easy as that, and not as easy as the extrapolations these studies are making either. It's very much still up in the air. Lots of speculations and theories abound, one doesn't HAVE to subscribe to any of them.
Logically I don't believe it makes sense that t-rex was stupidly super intelligent.

That study took 5 years to make that study. Why does it not make sense that t-rex was intelligent? Do you think that all dinosaurs were stupid? |

It's bad enough how physically OP T-rex was relative to it's prey-base, now it's also super intelligent? Something has gotta give. Again what hope did these prey animals have to possibly co-exist with t-rex if it was so amazing in every conceivable way? The fact I can so easily "feel" the motivation people have to gas it up, only makes it all the more suspicious.
And that includes scientists, don't care, in fact it especially includes scientists with extra scrutiny. It only increases the likelihood you're a mega geek way too excited about t-rex if you actually worked your way up to being in the position to get paid to study and speculate on it and put out studies and articles about it. Wow, you think I'm a biased dog fan? I didn't get to that level, that's obsession the likes of which we have rarely encountered. The people involved in these studies are fan boys in the extreme, just ALSO very intelligent, successful and academically proficient. But so??? That merely gives them power, and power corrupts. They LOOOOOVE T-rex, and that's an issue. I think they are interpreting data in the most flattering possible way out of desire for elevating the t-rex. And data is absolutely prone to being misused in this way by the best of the best most elite scientists. Often in much more important and serious avenues than this one, like establishing government policies and altering the world, etc. There's always flexibility on how you interpret and analyse data. I see people motivated strongly to interpret in a very pro-t-rex way, and I see no one giving enough of a shit to worry about scrutinising their methodologies. Perfect breeding ground for misleading information.
T-rex was MAYBE, best case scenario, as intelligent as a bird of prey. Which is actually very intelligent, but this reach to try and make out it was much more than that is eye-rolly to me. Not you, you're clearly impressionable and a victim to their propaganda (willing victim, perhaps), I'm specifically talking about the researchers analysing the data. I can see what they're doing. "Well if a crow is this smart then just imagine this similar but much bigger brain (not proportionately, but gloss over that) similarly compacted with neurological power, potentially... yeah, maybe the t-rex was super duper smart as well as big and awesome and as fast as possible and everything cool at once because we're geeks who got bullied in school". Yeah, I get it. My burden is knowing people too well. I don't stop at animals. So I can see how this is all bullshit in the same way you can see the spots on a leopard.
Intelligent yes, THAT intelligent no.
