Complex traits are now mostly predictable via genetics. Many scientists proposed such prediction would be impossible for many decades at the least. The predictive capabilities for complex traits are being advanced at incredible speed as few predicted.

http://www.genetics.org/content/210/2/477

predicted heights correlate ∼0.65 with actual height; actual heights of most individuals in validation samples are within a few centimeters of the prediction.

This is a pretty damn good predictor given that is entirely from a genetic test. Not to mention the prediction will scale with more data which is coming at cheaper and cheaper costs.

Not sure what the logic is behind saying it's unimpressive when majority predicted it would be impossible to do.

It's not the same, women aren't caught in a fisherian runaway to maximize male height.

NYC. I frequently see attractive women with smaller men. It's not uncommon.
Given random distribution, and assuming women have no height preference, about 1/10 couples should feature a man shorter than the woman. I'd say it's less than that here, but still frequent enough that I see it all the time.

I go on to show widespread relationship discrimination, is no different from widespread de facto prejudice and factors into societal discrimination in general.

The only reason women 'prefer' taller men, is because of the current femininity social structure. It's socialized. That's why we don't see height preference in all cultures, and why not even all women in our culture care (something like half of women wouldn't date a shorter man, half would, and about 1.5% prefer smaller men).
This is not innate, and it would be very easy to undo with even just a few months of memes/social pressure. We could theoretically in the future meme femininity to be about being big and masculinity about being small (like, tying fecundity and motherhood as bigness, masculinity could be memed into being efficient and quick like their gametes, etc). It's all made up.

Well, there are many arguments that height would be too complicated to predict for a very long time. People have claimed it was "too messy" to ever be useful especially 3 years ago when it was very weak and minimal results. Saying it was something we would not have to worry about because it's too complicated and environment too important.

>> No.10052182

Shorter people are in general more efficient. That's just a mechanical reality. Faster, stronger, more agile, longer lifespan. This is in part because of hip and lower spine structure. Narrower hips == more efficient bipedal locomotion. Though there are other traits, and a certain type of taller person can be quite fast. I imagine when all relevant traits are plotted, there's probably a peak which correlates with absolute height.

I dont think that's the same as telling women that, basically, if they would date a man who is exactly the same as he is now but 6 inches taller, but they wouldn't date him as he is now, they're being ridiculous. Most women I've spoken to have agreed with me here too, idk if they just happened to be part of the half that don't care though.
A man and a woman who like each other and such shouldn't be restricted because of height. A lot of women get nervous when they like a dude who's smaller than them. this is socially conditioned it shouldn't exist.

>White men are free
Most white men get up every day to go where they're told, do what they're told when they're told, and eventually think what they're told. In return for their forced participation in this machine, they're kicked table scraps and given trinkets and toys. This shuts them up and they're trained to figure good enough, becoming angry at suggestions to the contrary.

This is the problem with the whole narrative, and modern feminism in general. It correctly describes woman's place in society (while exaggerating some aspects and claiming some are unique to women which simply are not, like a glass ceiling) but completely fails to consider a man and his condition. Instead they spin a bizarre web of tales portraying men as these mindless beasts bullshitting around the water cooler or whatever, then coming hope, grabbing the wife's ass and asking if the broad's got dinner ready yet. And therefore it fails to describe the broader system or make any meaningful commentary at all.

Bingo. What characterizes people of European and Asian descent is the proclivity for highly vertical control structures and accepting that social organization.

Look at anywhere else. We've tried to enslave them the same way, but ti simply doesn't stick. They won't do it, and probably can't. Prime examples are Latin America and Western Africa.

It probably takes a lot of social ability and intelligence to manipulate people in an effective way without force. Creating nationalism, propaganda, and a reason you should be in control all require more intelligence to fool the people or get them to want to buy in to believe in something.

Such power structures probably don't work as well in low IQ societies because people won't buy into why it's a good idea or will think smaller scale.

I don't really "intelligence" is the right lens to view this through, and various traits and manner of functioning are more accurate descriptors. Either way, the bulk of what you've said is true to an extent. In some cases all you require is a large differential in intelligence, in others the process just has to be bootstrapped at some point and then carried forward with cross generation programming / cultural engineering, in other cases you need a population with high intelligence but low drive.

No. Most men do reproduce, that includes most short men.
1. Tall men get the most beautiful women. And beauty correlates with IQ.
2. Intelligent men get the most beautiful women and beauty correlates with height.
For example, I'm a short high status man and my wife is taller than me and that was a conscious decision.
3. Taller parents have more sons. Shorter parents have more daughters. So the progeny of tall parents are more efficient at preserving the intelligence genes because on average men are slightly smarter than women.

Of course they have preference. It's just that 4chan redpillcel types who never actually interact with women conflate female preferences with female standards by using cherrypicked online dating examples (the only knowledge of women publicly available to them), while overestimating their own attractiveness to the kind of women they desire and denying that they're doing to the same themselves.

In any case, there have been interesting studies on height preference done that show the standards are closer to height differential rather than flat height, i.e. women prefer men 6 inches taller than themselves, not necessarily 6 feet tall.

And these numbers make a lot more sense given that height averages across most populations reflect it almost exactly.
