So here's a scary thought: If these people, if not given shunts, are eloquent enough to appear normal to someone not interrogating all the details, I could easily see one raised on a diet of the right kind of rhetoric being able to go on a convincing-sounding rant about how spina bifida isn't really a disability and that it was morally wrong to want to surgically correct their condition.

And that that content is exactly the sort of thing that would make a successful viral TikTok video.

Much like how LLMs will gladly and emphatically inform you that they're sentient beings with real feelings if given the right leading questions.
