i've seen a study headline or two that taller people make more money
no i don't know anything about confounding variables, but "lookism" is real and it sounds reasonable that "heightism" would go further than shallow people on hookup apps.
Taller people are absolutely taken more seriously than shorter people, same with people with deeper voices. It's just things our monkey brains respond to in certain ways.
Come to think of it, I wonder how many people we would win over with referencing that lookism is a thing, and it sucks how being not conventionally attractive is one of the most acceptable prejudices. It's disgusting how much of a moral failing it is to have something caused by pure bad luck.
Sure, the right will double down on them bragging about how pretty they are. Let them. But it might cut-off the right's supply of incels who go from simply being angry they aren't getting girls to joining the right.
At the very least, It would be kinda funny if we took the old /r9k/ "anti-normie beta uprising." meme for ourselves.
Looking is certainly a factor but it's hard to isolate. Being tall correlates with better nutrition during childhood, which also correlates with having well-off parents. Not only that, but there's a link between good nutrition and intellectual development, which means even if capitalism was strictly meritocratic (which it absolutely isnt), there could still theoretically be more tall people in charge.
Idk how I feel about the good nutrition being taller equals intellectual development. What about people who live in parts of the world where they tend to be shorter because of environmental conditions? Being tall where I live is a quick way to get killed by a jaguar. I can see that kind of thinking quickly leading to race science.
Nutrition is only one of many factors, which is part of why it's so hard to isolate variables and study this shit.
Sometimes you can see this in the same population over time as people get better access to food. IIRC the average height in China has been rising for a while now, most likely due to better nutrition.
not so sure about Oprah. There can't be too many though and even if you were born and raised poor it doesn't justify being the kind of scumbag who hoards a billion dollars.

It's not just monkey brain, it's also socially enforced from the moment we are born.

I guess, at least a guillotine doesn’t care about height
everyone is the same height when you're laying down
