That somehow Dawkins has gotten to November of 2024 still thinking that Musk is "highly intelligent and […] has the welfare of the world at heart" is damning evidence of his cognitive decline https://t.co/8EwAIrt5d4

Yes. As the old truism goes, "Mendacious, malevolent, transparently evil, stupid men and highly intelligent men that have the welfare of the world at heart attract." https://t.co/e6lZrZOwQ4

Dawkins being so naive politically is like that renowned surgeon who believed the pyramids were grain silos: proof that being intelligent and accomplished in one field is perfectly compatible with being deeply stupid in another https://t.co/J8zYuAXX87
