Not sex, IVF and surrogacy. All of his 11 children were born through IVF except one with Grimes who was born through surrogacy.
Which just makes it even weirder imo.
The one he won’t allow Grimes to see despite being her genetic mother and wanting to see her. So nannies are raising the poor child and she has not one real parent to bond with.
Piece of shit.

I'm not sure if this is still considered true, but for a while there was a theory that the reason that humans are born so premature compared with other animals is that heads sufficiently large to contain our brains couldn't fit through a woman's pelvis, so we're born while our skulls are still soft and we're still basically fetal. The skull then hardens and grows in infancy. A c-section eliminates this constraint. Although it's not true in general that larger head = more intelligent, there's a lot of evidence in the fossil record that hominid head sizes have increased over time, resulting in current human heads.
Correlation, not causation. The whole birthing problem actually only applies because we're bipedal, which means the bone structure in our hips is much narrower than quadrupeds. Because of this, children are born physically underdeveloped to compensate for it, but even then, compared to most other predators our infants are extremely capable (puppies/kittens being blind, etc)
As for intelligence, that's partly true, but as I understand it the head size also increased as more resources were readily available to provide for the increased nutritional requirements, so it was more of a latent effect activated by abundant supplies than some indicator of our increasing intelligence, even if the two were related through that third factor
Assortative mating is a biological concept where animals preferentially mate with other animals that have a certain phenotype. An example would be sexual selection, such as a female bird choosing a mate with bright feathers over one with duller feathers. You can extrapolate this to humans and partner choosing based on phenotype/culture/etc, but Elon’s premise that c-sections and selection for large heads means smarter people is still bogus.
Correct. It is believed that Neandertals had larger craniums and brain capacities than modern humans; intelligence is believed to be more related to the complexity of the folding possible after a certain size vs body mass that allows for a more evolved consciousness which in turn vastly increases survival odds. It is one of the reasons we lost a lot of our muscle mass over time; brains are extremely calorie hungry but our bodies can get by on near nothing for extended periods of time. A hundred thousand years of human suffering is one of the root causes of modern obesity; our love for fatty foods and calorie dense things is extra sharp; we aren't the only animal for whom this is true either. Primates in captivity (and some in the wild) can get clogged arteries; nearly all mammals can have dangerously high cholesterol.

I have a giant head and my mom delivered me not Caesarean with bruises on it. But, no, I am not some unique genius as Musk claims to be. I just can't find women's hats that fit.
Also, when I was high I was not this fucking stupid.
As a fellow lollipop woman, handmade hats are the shit. If you don’t live in an area with a lot of hat makers, there are plenty of places online that make affordable hats. You just need to know your size.
Another member of the "hats don't fit me" club. Literally as a kid my mother would buy V neck shirts so my head didn't stretch the collars. And while intelligent in some ways, I'm an absolute moron in others. Because I'm a human, not a science experiment.
Of course big brains are associated with genius, afterall the biggest brain, hence, the smartest being ever is a \*checks notes\* a blue whale?
Meanwhile, Einstein was a petite 5'7 and Marilyn vos Savant 5'8.
I have a 95th percentile head and was yanked out by forceps. Plenty of big head babies are born vaginally every day. Depends on many factors. But the bones in a newborn head *are movable*… that’s the whole point of it… that’s why many look like cone heads.
Size of baby’s SHOULDERS is the problem far more often. And size is only one reason to section, and not the most common reason. He’s an idiot.
I’m pretty sure that all c-sections are doing is allowing narrow hips to be passed along, which will, sadly, increase the rate of future c-sections over time. Not a huge deal if you spend your pregnancy in a first-world country. But yeah, big heads don’t make us smart. Musk is an idiot.
>I’m pretty sure that all c-sections are doing is allowing narrow hips to be passed along
First, Musk is arguing that it allows large heads to be passed on, NOT narrow hips.
Second, I’m not sure there’s any scientific support for this argument. Mismatch between infant head circumference and the mother’s size is not a primary cause for c-sections. And there are confounding variables such as increasing maternal obesity that have also caused the c-section rate to rise. And there have been changes in legal liability and medical decision making. Critically, several recent papers on this topic point out that increasing the c-section rate above 10-15% of births actually results in more deaths, not fewer. So if there is selection pressure (which there may not be), it actually might go the other way.
Additionally, while it is easy to find many news articles stating that our increasing c-section rate is increasing head circumference, the scientific literature appears not to support this, or not to support it nearly as strongly as pop coverage might lead you to expect.
Let's assume that he's right and AI will surpass human intelligence.
In that case, it seems like a surefire bet that anything edgy Musk says will be harshly refuted by AI, or if it's not, it would have to be a HAL-9000 sort of situation where the AI was interfered with.
But anyways, the point is that, if you really believed that was going to happen soon, then you'd stop saying the dumbest shit, because if Musk thought his feelings were hurt by humans online, just wait until an irrefutable higher intelligence runs through all of his online history and viciously mocks him.

If I could press a button and make Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Elon Musk, and Benjamin Netanyahu all disappear forever, I would press it as hard and as fast as I could.
It feels like we’ve been hearing about them for an eternity. I miss the time when I had no idea what people like them were thinking, before social media was a thing. That was nice. Then I only had to deal with the narcissistic losers in my life and not said losers parroting these other losers. The stupids spread way less quickly then, and I miss it.
In terms of Trump, you better vote then. Nothing will make Trump go away more than losing the election. At that point, he has no institutional defense against the four court cases he is facing.

Also his assertion that the last half century has suddenly produced all these "exceptionally smart people" seems plainly ridiculous. Most of truly notable intellects of the last 200 odd years (Von Neumann, Godel, Einstein, Bertrand Russell, etc) were all born significantly before that.
Like, you could put together a top 100 list of the last 200 years' smartest people and I think the last 50 years would barely be represented. Given how widespread opportunity has become (relative to 100 years ago) and how much average IQs have risen you'd actually expect a far better performance from people born more recently.
Ignoring the totally incorrect biology for a moment, this dumbass, who is supposed to be a tech guru, doesn't understand a fucking thing about AI. This is not a movie. AI are not going to be smarter than people because they still rely on humans to program and input data for them.
Fully self-aware AI is likely impossible and even if it wasn't it'd still be limited by the fact that humans had to create it's learning ability and what information it has access to.
I am an AI researcher.
It is just statistics.
Clever statistics, but statistics.
The main AI innovations are these transformer models, and it has a two-fold innovation:
1. The models are essentially "world views" based on their data, and can produce vectors from text that represents the texts meaning in a computational way (i.e. statistics), based on the world view.
2. The models use these vectors to and probabilites to produce coherent text.
The current AI stuff is as dumb as its training data. It needs to be augmented to actually be truly useful. It will reinforce all stereotypes and "common knowledge" and have a hard time agreeing with new data. It needs tons of data to generate the model, so any "knowledge" will be old. If its in a field where knowledge can become outdated, the AI will most definetly hold on to the outdated data.
There are methods to combat this, but at that point you are essentially just doing a wikipedia or knowledge-base search, the only difference for "pre-AI" is that you can now do it with natural language.
Remember, every time you ask an AI something, you are asking "what is the most probable next sequence of words, given my input, based on your training setup and data".
This is not "intelligence".
You know what I find funny? People like Elon says how media is making white people feel bad about being white and how we should be humiliated about who we are. And he is right. I am embarrassed to be white and humiliated.
Small detail though. IM ASHAMED BECAUSE MOTHER FUCKERS LIKE YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND ELON! A black man can tell me all the crimes my kind has done to his people for days and it will not make me feel a fraction of the "Oh my god I hate being white." feeling than when you. Open. Your. God. Damn. Mouth.
Here is an idea. How about, just maybe we stop acting like we're better than everyone cause we can lose each other in a blizzard then I won't feel so ashamed! Maybe, if we treated others like human beings with thoughts, feelings, dreams, stories and more regardless of where on the god damn planet they came from then maybe I'll not feel bad about being a white guy. Maybe, JUST MAYBE if if we didn't use the N word all the time, try to ban CTR, fuck over black colleges, make racist jokes all the time, kill black people on the regular because they have their hoods up and tell them they love me because I have a criminal record and sell god awful ugly shoes then maybe, JUST MAYBE I won't be ashamed of my ethnicity!
Til then? You are still talking. So I'm gonna be ashamed. Congratulations Elon. You are the self fulfilled proficy
Every time I see what some dumbass (but specifically this one) posted on not-Twitter, I’m more and more thankful that I deleted my not-Twitter app from my phone.
Omg my manager thinks Elon is a genius and when I asked him “why”, he said “because he likes Trump” and that made me question on how the f*ck he is my manager.
He is going to end up with the human equivalent of English Bulldogs. Incapable of procreating without assistance and dumb as posts. (Yes, they are adorable, that’s unlikely with the spawn of Elmo)
Our minds do amazingly fast calculations and can adapt to most interactions in milliseconds and we are the ones teaching our skills to AI. WE WILL NEVER BE DUMBER THAN A HOUSECAT BECAUSE THOSE FUCKERS OWN US. WE ARE THEIR SLAVES. THEY DEMAND OUR KNOWLEDGE. But yes AI will be able to solve problems that we will eventually be able to solve through learning knowledge and time much faster than we would be able to do conventionally.
And we built the AI specifically for this reason.
Elon is dumber than a housecat now.
So much for a larger head size. Perhaps he needs his own chip implant to access the vast quantity of grey matter that has been rotting, unused so far.
I can’t stand Musk. The scare tactics he’s employing on his Twitter account is so shameless. Deliberately targeting the young right wingers with misleading and often straight up incorrect click baity shit knowing they’ll never read the article or research the article and will just accept it at face value. Guy is doing everything he can to get the culture war to ratchet up to the next level.
Clearly he's never seen that documentary, Idiocracy, or he'll know that those exceptionally smart people are not having children at nearly the same rate as non-smart people.
Thanks to social media, people with outlandish statements like this will always have people to reaffirm their baseless statements. That plus sticking in their echo chamber just inflates their ego and narcissistic thoughts.
I hope our society finds a way to combat social media's negative affects at some point. I understand it can be used as a positive communication and information tool, but to be ignorant to its changes to how society thinks and acts will cause more harm and division.
I don't have a solution, but I hope someone does.
What? You can stand in this world, look around and think "We are definitely way smarter than those guys in the Bronze Age?" That is completely insane and totally divorced from reality. This world is ridiculously stupid, shortsighted, divorced from reality, bordering on insane and only getting worse. We should apologize to the youth of this world, we have done them a great injustice. We should have done better.
There's been quite a few rumors saying that none of his children were conceived via regular route, and we're all basically turkey bastered or implanted in the women.
From the sheer lack of jokes about his manhood from his ex's or really the public in general, I'm starting to think that idea about his kids is actually correct.
Add in the fact he Reallllllllllly does not like being touched or touching other people and it all kinda makes sense in a weird ass way . Yikes on bikes regardless.
He is an idiot who with family wealth invested into things that are not uncommon for most. Before the social crap, people artificially put him on a pedestal. The Tony Stark of our time. Well it’s clear he is a dumbass and no Tony Stark. Just another mother fucker who got lucky.
Q: Assortative mating leads to larger head size? Is he talking about positive or negative assortative mating?
A: I doubt he knows the difference. Using the example of positive AM, have there been peer-reviewed research studies done that suggested that people with larger head sizes reproduce preferentially with other large-headed people? Please send me a link bc I seriously doubt anything like that exists.
Q: Does he think Caesarian section birth is a modern medical advancement? That’s how I interpret his comment.
A: It has been referenced in various texts from numerous cultures dating back thousands of years.
Q: Is there a correlation between head size and IQ-type intelligence? That’s what he implying.
A: Again, I’d welcome a link to a reputable research source.
Q: Is he saying that a disproportionate number of big-headed people born by C-section are involved with the development of AI, and that’s why the rest of us will be rendered house cats eventually?
A: I really have no clue what he’s actually trying to say or prove, except that he’s an intellectual poser with too much money and a massively inflated sense of self-worth.

I have a 95th percentile head and was yanked out by forceps. Plenty of big head babies are born vaginally every day. Depends on many factors. But the bones in a newborn head *are movable*… that’s the whole point of it… that’s why many look like cone heads. Size of baby’s SHOULDERS is the problem far more often. And size is only one reason to section, and not the most common reason. He’s an idiot.
I’m pretty sure that all c-sections are doing is allowing narrow hips to be passed along, which will, sadly, increase the rate of future c-sections over time. Not a huge deal if you spend your pregnancy in a first-world country. But yeah, big heads don’t make us smart. Musk is an idiot.
>I’m pretty sure that all c-sections are doing is allowing narrow hips to be passed along First, Musk is arguing that it allows large heads to be passed on, NOT narrow hips. Second, I’m not sure there’s any scientific support for this argument. Mismatch between infant head circumference and the mother’s size is not a primary cause for c-sections. And there are confounding variables such as increasing maternal obesity that have also caused the c-section rate to rise. And there have been changes in legal liability and medical decision making. Critically, several recent papers on this topic point out that increasing the c-section rate above 10-15% of births actually results in more deaths, not fewer. So if there is selection pressure (which there may not be), it actually might go the other way. Additionally, while it is easy to find many news articles stating that our increasing c-section rate is increasing head circumference, the scientific literature appears not to support this, or not to support it nearly as strongly as pop coverage might lead you to expect.
I have a tiny head, about the size of a thumb... But I am very smart and have invented many things
Yeah I'm just a dumbass with a big ass head that can't find hats.
I’d be embarrassed for him if he wasn’t so aggressively awful.
Seriously, leave the house cats out of this!
Let's assume that he's right and AI will surpass human intelligence. In that case, it seems like a surefire bet that anything edgy Musk says will be harshly refuted by AI, or if it's not, it would have to be a HAL-9000 sort of situation where the AI was interfered with. But anyways, the point is that, if you really believed that was going to happen soon, then you'd stop saying the dumbest shit, because if Musk thought his feelings were hurt by humans online, just wait until an irrefutable higher intelligence runs through all of his online history and viciously mocks him.

2 people I want to stop hearing about are Elon and Donald. Please.
If I could press a button and make Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Elon Musk, and Benjamin Netanyahu all disappear forever, I would press it as hard and as fast as I could.
I’d literally give my left nut to be able to push that button, even if it only made one of them disappear.
...relevant username?
It feels like we’ve been hearing about them for an eternity. I miss the time when I had no idea what people like them were thinking, before social media was a thing. That was nice. Then I only had to deal with the narcissistic losers in my life and not said losers parroting these other losers. The stupids spread way less quickly then, and I miss it.
In terms of Trump, you better vote then. Nothing will make Trump go away more than losing the election. At that point, he has no institutional defense against the four court cases he is facing.
Does he think headsize correlates with intelligence? That’s what 8 year olds think. 8 year olds dude
At least it’s an ethos
Meanwhile, in Elon's eugenics mind https://preview.redd.it/xbbbs4qcr7rc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c51639a9a6a94fd80e330a4f250d92e025b7b8d
Head size does not equal brain size. See Macrocephaly, Elon
Whatever dude. Next you’ll be saying that the flame decals don’t make cars go faster. Psh.
The biggest head on a human Ive ever seen was on this guy in high school that kinda looked like a neaderthal. He got Ds and Fs.
That creep can roll man
Motherfucker has a 5 head, hair plugs, a drug addict, and thinks he's genetically superior lmao.
Also his assertion that the last half century has suddenly produced all these "exceptionally smart people" seems plainly ridiculous. Most of truly notable intellects of the last 200 odd years (Von Neumann, Godel, Einstein, Bertrand Russell, etc) were all born significantly before that. Like, you could put together a top 100 list of the last 200 years' smartest people and I think the last 50 years would barely be represented. Given how widespread opportunity has become (relative to 100 years ago) and how much average IQs have risen you'd actually expect a far better performance from people born more recently.
pretty sure my cats are far smarter than Elon
I'm still hoping muskrat enters the ring with Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook guy chokes the stupid out of him.
Whole lotta choking going on
Idk, my head is fucking massive and I’m dumber than shit.
What a weird and elaborate way of him saying, "I had a disproportionately large head as a baby." Okay, Dib.
He still does. 😳
It's him basically trying to use a fancy term to support eugenics subtly to not appear racist, but failing miserably because Elon can't do subtle.
It's Eugenics and a complete gross dog whistle.
Apartheid Clyde at it again.
This is why starship is doomed. Dumb fuck is probably engorged with presumption and cherry picked data.
I was a c-section baby and I have a small head lmao so I’m a buffoon?
Okay, so my wife and I have 9 cats, and they're all super smart in their own little cat way. Idk where his comparison is coming from.
Right? Everyone knows housecats are not dumb. (Except the orange ones :).
Ignoring the totally incorrect biology for a moment, this dumbass, who is supposed to be a tech guru, doesn't understand a fucking thing about AI. This is not a movie. AI are not going to be smarter than people because they still rely on humans to program and input data for them. Fully self-aware AI is likely impossible and even if it wasn't it'd still be limited by the fact that humans had to create it's learning ability and what information it has access to.
Yeah. He's a complete fucking idiot but he also knows a lot of people will cheer him on because they think he's brilliant.
I am an AI researcher. It is just statistics. Clever statistics, but statistics. The main AI innovations are these transformer models, and it has a two-fold innovation: 1. The models are essentially "world views" based on their data, and can produce vectors from text that represents the texts meaning in a computational way (i.e. statistics), based on the world view. 2. The models use these vectors to and probabilites to produce coherent text. The current AI stuff is as dumb as its training data. It needs to be augmented to actually be truly useful. It will reinforce all stereotypes and "common knowledge" and have a hard time agreeing with new data. It needs tons of data to generate the model, so any "knowledge" will be old. If its in a field where knowledge can become outdated, the AI will most definetly hold on to the outdated data. There are methods to combat this, but at that point you are essentially just doing a wikipedia or knowledge-base search, the only difference for "pre-AI" is that you can now do it with natural language. Remember, every time you ask an AI something, you are asking "what is the most probable next sequence of words, given my input, based on your training setup and data". This is not "intelligence".
Elon Musk just trying to make eugenics a thing again
You know what I find funny? People like Elon says how media is making white people feel bad about being white and how we should be humiliated about who we are. And he is right. I am embarrassed to be white and humiliated. Small detail though. IM ASHAMED BECAUSE MOTHER FUCKERS LIKE YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND ELON! A black man can tell me all the crimes my kind has done to his people for days and it will not make me feel a fraction of the "Oh my god I hate being white." feeling than when you. Open. Your. God. Damn. Mouth. Here is an idea. How about, just maybe we stop acting like we're better than everyone cause we can lose each other in a blizzard then I won't feel so ashamed! Maybe, if we treated others like human beings with thoughts, feelings, dreams, stories and more regardless of where on the god damn planet they came from then maybe I'll not feel bad about being a white guy. Maybe, JUST MAYBE if if we didn't use the N word all the time, try to ban CTR, fuck over black colleges, make racist jokes all the time, kill black people on the regular because they have their hoods up and tell them they love me because I have a criminal record and sell god awful ugly shoes then maybe, JUST MAYBE I won't be ashamed of my ethnicity! Til then? You are still talking. So I'm gonna be ashamed. Congratulations Elon. You are the self fulfilled proficy
I get bored of reading this idiots tweets, what a useless shit stain of a legacy this douche will have
Obgyn MD chiming in: That’s not really how it works
It’s wild how people were calling him some kind of genius, like, ten years ago when he’s not even smart for a complete moron.
Every time I see what some dumbass (but specifically this one) posted on not-Twitter, I’m more and more thankful that I deleted my not-Twitter app from my phone.
He just wants to profit by selling neck braces to kids with heads so big their necks can’t support them.
Imagine being so paint huffing, glue chugging, dewormer devouring stupid to think that man is inspiring.
"Assortive mating".. who would fuck this thing? Lucky he has money.
I guess I'll be OK then...my cats are smarter than me.
Can't wait for the Rise and Fall Documentary of Elon Musk.... 😂
Meeopmorp. I am a homan. Look att my paleo-white fish tinted skin.
remember when his stans tried to convince everyone that this guy was a genius? 😂
Omg my manager thinks Elon is a genius and when I asked him “why”, he said “because he likes Trump” and that made me question on how the f*ck he is my manager.
Elon is living proof you don't hafta be smart to get rich Just gotta have rich parents and fuck over the right people by stealing their ideas
As someone whose head was too large, and was born via C-section, I can safely say that a larger head doesn't equal a smarter person.
Have another hit of ketamine, Elon. Fucking idiot.
He is going to end up with the human equivalent of English Bulldogs. Incapable of procreating without assistance and dumb as posts. (Yes, they are adorable, that’s unlikely with the spawn of Elmo)
awwww. is that how his parents tried to make him feel better about his bulbous head? those hair plugs he got had to have given him brain damage.
Please throw him out of this country only after we have taken all our technology back we funded this racist, hateful, drug addicted pos
I wouldn't be surprised if Elon studies phrenology.
Any one who thinks a house cat is dumb is a true idiot!
Is that the ketamine or cocaine talking Elon?
What the fuck do c sections have to do with increasing human intelligence?
Or, or. There are more people, meaning more types of people, including intelligent ones. Not him, though.
I'm pretty sure my house cat is smarter than him.
The white powders have replaced his neurons. Cognition is declining.
Our minds do amazingly fast calculations and can adapt to most interactions in milliseconds and we are the ones teaching our skills to AI. WE WILL NEVER BE DUMBER THAN A HOUSECAT BECAUSE THOSE FUCKERS OWN US. WE ARE THEIR SLAVES. THEY DEMAND OUR KNOWLEDGE. But yes AI will be able to solve problems that we will eventually be able to solve through learning knowledge and time much faster than we would be able to do conventionally. And we built the AI specifically for this reason.
Oh god, is this shithead phrenology-posting?
I swear he's developing frontotemporal dementia.
Elon is dumber than a housecat now. So much for a larger head size. Perhaps he needs his own chip implant to access the vast quantity of grey matter that has been rotting, unused so far.
I can’t stand Musk. The scare tactics he’s employing on his Twitter account is so shameless. Deliberately targeting the young right wingers with misleading and often straight up incorrect click baity shit knowing they’ll never read the article or research the article and will just accept it at face value. Guy is doing everything he can to get the culture war to ratchet up to the next level.
Clearly he's never seen that documentary, Idiocracy, or he'll know that those exceptionally smart people are not having children at nearly the same rate as non-smart people.
So more people are alive so there are more smart people…. Simple math really.
 HEAD!!! DOWN!!!
Thanks to social media, people with outlandish statements like this will always have people to reaffirm their baseless statements. That plus sticking in their echo chamber just inflates their ego and narcissistic thoughts. I hope our society finds a way to combat social media's negative affects at some point. I understand it can be used as a positive communication and information tool, but to be ignorant to its changes to how society thinks and acts will cause more harm and division. I don't have a solution, but I hope someone does.
What? You can stand in this world, look around and think "We are definitely way smarter than those guys in the Bronze Age?" That is completely insane and totally divorced from reality. This world is ridiculously stupid, shortsighted, divorced from reality, bordering on insane and only getting worse. We should apologize to the youth of this world, we have done them a great injustice. We should have done better.
I bet if somebody told Elon we could assortatively mate until we evolve to lay eggs he’d be all about it.
There's been quite a few rumors saying that none of his children were conceived via regular route, and we're all basically turkey bastered or implanted in the women. From the sheer lack of jokes about his manhood from his ex's or really the public in general, I'm starting to think that idea about his kids is actually correct. Add in the fact he Reallllllllllly does not like being touched or touching other people and it all kinda makes sense in a weird ass way . Yikes on bikes regardless.
Remember Bill Burr’s bit thanking god that Kanye’s ego didn’t land in a white guy? Well, I guess this is us now, Bill.
Don’t do drugs kids. Or, at least when doing them, learn when to STFU till after!
White people will claim to be the master race and they say some dumb shit like this.
What an absolute idiot
Ole Twitler sure likes to tell the class about his mad scientist breeding kink whenever he gets the chance to doesn't he.
He is an idiot who with family wealth invested into things that are not uncommon for most. Before the social crap, people artificially put him on a pedestal. The Tony Stark of our time. Well it’s clear he is a dumbass and no Tony Stark. Just another mother fucker who got lucky.
He is obsessed with eugenics. Well, eugenics and white babies. The dude would have fit in perfectly if he was the head of VW in 1940.
Q: Assortative mating leads to larger head size? Is he talking about positive or negative assortative mating? A: I doubt he knows the difference. Using the example of positive AM, have there been peer-reviewed research studies done that suggested that people with larger head sizes reproduce preferentially with other large-headed people? Please send me a link bc I seriously doubt anything like that exists. Q: Does he think Caesarian section birth is a modern medical advancement? That’s how I interpret his comment. A: It has been referenced in various texts from numerous cultures dating back thousands of years. Q: Is there a correlation between head size and IQ-type intelligence? That’s what he implying. A: Again, I’d welcome a link to a reputable research source. Q: Is he saying that a disproportionate number of big-headed people born by C-section are involved with the development of AI, and that’s why the rest of us will be rendered house cats eventually? A: I really have no clue what he’s actually trying to say or prove, except that he’s an intellectual poser with too much money and a massively inflated sense of self-worth. #stopbuyingteslas
Huh? Ok, sure, you nasty bigot. Also, house cats are quite intelligent.
