I saw some headline the other day about an Elon Musk tweet where he claims that humans are evolving to be born via c-section only as our heads are getting to big to be passed naturally through a womb. Queue numerous reddit comments saying Musk is so stupid, insane, racist, etc. all with many upvotes. I search and find Reddit posts from about 10 years ago making the same claim about c-section births, and there are many comments saying yes that makes a lot of sense, all with many upvotes relative to the size of the community back then.
I just find the whole thing kind of ridiculous. I know people, probably at one point intelligent people, who are addicted to twitter, reddit, facebook etc. and always have the unnuanced opinion of whatever their online in-group believes. Thus its remarkable to me that Trump won seemingly by both calling one group's dogma into question, while simultaneously endorsing another's.

If you search hard enough, you will find many comments describing Yeti's anatomy in detail. What exactly do you think your point is? That what represents a moron now and a decade ago still holds true?
