Benjamin Franklin was the 15th child born to his father.

This falsifies that ridiculous claim because Ben Franklin was brilliant in many different areas—more so than 99.9% of all people born in the world.

This is more about population control and the conditioning of people to think small families are better when larger families have been the staple of American families—up until the Marxists and Malthusians took control of the schools and started brainwashing and conditioning and destroying the Virtues which created the sacrifice needed for large families.

Yes, but just think how smart Benjamin Franklin would have been if he had been an only child. Instead of just inventing bifocals, lightning rods, Franklin stoves, electricity, and a few other things, he might have invented computers, televisions, and microwave ovens.
