You not seeing what's wrong with his tweet means that you already accepted that it was a factually true statement, which it is not. Humanity wasn't been held down by small-brained babies until the advent of the C-section.

Secondarily, what point do you think he's trying to make? I'd bet that it's about humanity being more intelligent now that these giant-brained babies have an alternative escape route. I'd bet all his ill-gained wealth that he was a C-section and he's also bragging about how intelligent he must be. One commenter also already mentioned that Musk is replying to a eugenics-pusher.

It's never a good idea to read something that lacks and requires credible citation and say, "I guess that sounds right." Intentionally or not, you often add that to some folder of "true stuff I read" in your brain and start repeating it back as fact when relevant.

Oh, and Musk is a vile fuckwit.

as we all know, of course, the size of one's head is directly proportional to IQ. Intelligence is famously possible to objectively measure, especially as a single quantity, and IQ is a highly accurate, not at all pseudoscientific measurement of it. So is craniometry.

What in the hell are you talking about? Do you think Cephalopelvic Disproportion is a fake condition made up by Big Pharma? https://americanpregnancy.org/healthy-pregnancy/labor-and-birth/cephalopelvic-disproportion/

You seem to think that because Musk is a bad person that he is always lying. I even said in my comment that he was likely saying that for nefarious reasons, but I'm not going to deny evolution just because someone I dislike also talks about it.

they aren't saying this doesn't exist, they're saying that humanity didn't get smarter because only dumb people didn't get their heads stuck in the birth canal.

Having a C section and being smart are very unlikely to be closely correlated.

I mean, my feeling is that this was a shower thought of sorts. It kinda works on a very limited sense, but it is unlikely to be really relevant
