One of the weirdest articles I've read in a while in the NYTimes: * The extra carbon footprint of taller people is meaningless in comparison to what we should be reducing the emissions by. * The extra amount of food consumed by tall people is meaningless. People don't starve because tall people are hoarding the food. Or if the tall started eating less that food wouldn't be teleported to the tables of hungry people. * It doesn't matter that some people lived in an island and shrunk. We are not in an island, and food won't be the first resource we'll run out of. * We shouldn't need to say this but: celebrating being the shortest just screams social awkwardness as much as celebrating being the tallest. * For better or worse there's a positive correlation with height and intelligence, and with height and salary. * For better or worse your options are severely limited below a certain threshold in the mating department. * This focus on how people look is extremely unhealthy. Is the height of a person that important to even care.
