Height superiority is just another cope
Of course in the jungle, the 6'8 gigachad might be the undisputed king, but this doesn't give him unlimited authority. Even gigachad bleeds and if he's unjust or malevolent, it won't take long for 2 or 3 regular chads to cut him down.
Outside the jungle, where your physical power is almost completely meaningless, being tall helps reach the top shelf, or maybe it's easier to gain the attention of females, but otherwise, it's just cope for their more obvious inadequacies.
dear diary,

manlets plot against tall gigachads.
history is rife with alpha males being toppled by subhuman manlets.
from Samson to David(Goliath) to Caesar to Trump. Russian history from Lenin to Stalin to Putin.
they banned together and killed gigamogger Rasputin. i guarantee you the guy that pulled the trigger on Rasputin is a subhuman malet.

dear diary,
Gigatall Chad wins 99/100 times, unless little Tim does some pussy moves like throw sand at eyes or go for the balls, which tall Chad should be already expecting those weak ass moves and should easily counter them
IRL:
Timothy makes insecure thread on the misc saying there's no such thing as height superiority, while tall Chad is out there making money and banging the hot sloots without even telling anyone, doesnt need reassurance from others, nor recognition of any kind..
Sorry brah i usually like your posts, but i dont like when people cope that badly

Height isn’t everything, but it’s unfortunately a bigger deal than it should be for something we literally can’t control.
Not sure how it’s cool to laugh at short men but not okay to laugh at fat women.

Comedy is the only antidote to our suffering. Even if you make fun of a downbrah, or an autist, you can do so and really be an *******, but if you're careful and considerate, you might just share a laugh, and you might even make a friend

In 99% of cases; character > Height.
My grandfather was a bad mothertrucker. Worked with his hands at an early age, kicked his loser dads ass out of the house at 15 years old and started supporting the family. Joined the military and became an MP, served in Korea and had killed men in hand to hand. He wasn’t afraid of any man. He was a damn good dude too, despite a few years of drinking, probably just dealing with his own demons. Always faithful to my grandmother, I believe that. Truly heroic man. A hard life builds truly tough men
He was 5’6”, and forearms like Popeyes. I wish I had a photo to post of him. To see him fits the description of what I describe. That is character.

but really... we're going down a rabbit hole stupid people go down; it's an attempt to end arguments because nobody knows what it is or how to define it. "genetics" is such a broad based term people loosely throw around with essentially 0 knowledge of what it entails:
"How Many Possible Combinations Of DNA Are There: The number is essentially infinite. Using an estimate of mutation frequency of around 2 x 10^-8 per base pair per replication event, we get 60 novel mutations in every living human being. There are 7 billion humans, so we know that some 420 billion different variants are possible"

So how do you go about figuring out how many possible variations there are in humans? This isn't as easy as it might seem...
All people basically have the same number of genes. Oh sure, redheads have a broken MC1R gene and blue-eyed folks have a broken eye color gene or two, but most of our differences aren't really because of the number of genes.
Many more of our differences come from having different versions of the same genes. To understand how this is possible, let's dig a bit deeper into what a gene is...
A gene is an ordered set of the 4 DNA bases, A, G, C, and T. Contained within these letters are the instructions for making a protein
What all of this means is that a lot of our differences come from having different proteins.
Genes can be of almost any length and can have many, many combinations of the four bases. This fact puts the number of possible genes pretty close to infinite
Let's start with a gene that has 2 bases (no such gene exists). If we allow any base at each one of the 2 positions, then we have 4x4 (42) or 16 possible combinations of sequences. Similarly, for a sequence length of 4, the total # of combinations are 4x4x4x4 (44) or 256.
How about a sequence that is 300 bases long? How many different combinations of the 4 bases are possible in these 300 bases? The total number of possibilities will be 4300 which to me is something like zillions.
You see how many differences can occur in just one gene? Now expand that to 25,000 and you see what we're up against!
There are lots of changes in our DNA that have no obvious effect on a person. These "silent" mutations don't show up in any way other than different DNA
We don't know all of our genes yet and even if we did, we still wouldn't know which mutations would cause a change nor which would be lethal. Perhaps one day we can figure it out but not yet
We have completely ignored all of the DNA outside of the gene. And this is where most of our DNA is -- something like 98.5% of our DNA doesn't code for proteins.
This DNA isn't all "junk" either. Among other things, it is responsible for figuring out when a gene should be turned on and off. What this means is that changes out there can make people different as well
So DNA outside of genes is important too. And we know even less about that DNA than we do about genes so that predicting which bases are important out there is even more difficult
This still isn't enough. There can be differences that are not due to changes at the A, G, C, and T's level. There can be changes to our DNA that affect how a gene is used without changing the DNA sequence (epigenetic changes)
Sometimes what mom eats can affect our DNA for life. Scientists at Duke University showed that pregnant mice that received Vitamin B12, folic acid, choline and betaine gave birth to babies with brown coats. Pregnant mice that did not receive these supplements gave birth to mice with yellow coats. (The difference wasn't because the mom who had yellow mice was low on these supplements.
Why did diet affect the hair color of the pups? The extra supplements caused a specific gene, called Agouti, to be turned down. This is what caused the coat color to change -- the bases of the Agouti gene didn't change, just how the gene was used by the mouse pups changed
Think about this like a light bulb on a dimmer switch. The light bulb is the gene and the dimmer switch is the DNA outside of the gene.
The way a dimmer switch works is that it controls the amount of electricity that gets to the light bulb. A dim and a bright bulb are both the same bulb -- it is just how they are used that is different.
Same thing with a gene. The sequences outside act like dimmer switches. The gene is still the same, just how "bright" they are changes.
As we age, experience changes us so that we are different as well. And lots of the changes happen at a DNA level similar to what happened to the yellow mice
The best way to see these effects is to look at identical twins. Identical twins have the same DNA but are certainly not exactly alike. One of the reasons is that as they age, these twins start using their DNA differently.
In one twin, gene A may be going full blast while in the other, gene A is barely on. The bases are the same, they still have an identical DNA sequence.
The difference is that they are using their genes differently -- their "dimmer switches" are set to different levels. Same DNA, different people.
So how many different variants of human are there? Lots and lots. Our variation has to do with our DNA, the genes we use and how we use them, our experiences, what we eat. Maybe there are an infinite number of people possible
so.. not only is isolating a specific gene to a specific function difficult but... you have to account for all the potential changes in dna transcription as well..All people basically have the same number of genes. Oh sure, redheads have a broken MC1R gene and blue-eyed folks have a broken eye color gene or two, but most of our differences aren't really because of the number of genes.
Many more of our differences come from having different versions of the same genes. To understand how this is possible, let's dig a bit deeper into what a gene is...

This DNA isn't all "junk" either. Among other things, it is responsible for figuring out when a gene should be turned on and off. What this means is that changes out there can make people different as well
So DNA outside of genes is important too. And we know even less about that DNA than we do about genes so that predicting which bases are important out there is even more difficult
This still isn't enough. There can be differences that are not due to changes at the A, G, C, and T's level. There can be changes to our DNA that affect how a gene is used without changing the DNA sequence (epigenetic changes)
Sometimes what mom eats can affect our DNA for life. Scientists at Duke University showed that pregnant mice that received Vitamin B12, folic acid, choline and betaine gave birth to babies with brown coats. Pregnant mice that did not receive these supplements gave birth to mice with yellow coats. (The difference wasn't because the mom who had yellow mice was low on these supplements.
Why did diet affect the hair color of the pups? The extra supplements caused a specific gene, called Agouti, to be turned down. This is what caused the coat color to change -- the bases of the Agouti gene didn't change, just how the gene was used by the mouse pups changed
Think about this like a light bulb on a dimmer switch. The light bulb is the gene and the dimmer switch is the DNA outside of the gene.
The way a dimmer switch works is that it controls the amount of electricity that gets to the light bulb. A dim and a bright bulb are both the same bulb -- it is just how they are used that is different.
Same thing with a gene. The sequences outside act like dimmer switches. The gene is still the same, just how "bright" they are changes.
As we age, experience changes us so that we are different as well. And lots of the changes happen at a DNA level similar to what happened to the yellow mice
The best way to see these effects is to look at identical twins. Identical twins have the same DNA but are certainly not exactly alike. One of the reasons is that as they age, these twins start using their DNA differently.
In one twin, gene A may be going full blast while in the other, gene A is barely on. The bases are the same, they still have an identical DNA sequence.
The difference is that they are using their genes differently -- their "dimmer switches" are set to different levels. Same DNA, different people.
So how many different variants of human are there? Lots and lots. Our variation has to do with our DNA, the genes we use and how we use them, our experiences, what we eat. Maybe there are an infinite number of people possible

so.. not only is isolating a specific gene to a specific function difficult but... you have to account for all the potential changes in dna transcription as well..

Everything else is cope when you're lacking those.
Either you're good at what you do or you enrich peoples lives. If you can accomplish either of these, you don't need to worry about what anyone else says.
