The "evidence" for the correlation of height and intelligence is anything but concrete. In fact, if you actually read these studies you would see that many A. Studies that interpret these results conclude that they're due to employment discrimination and B. Even a lot of the originak ones still attribute these differences to discrimination. You're treating your evidence as the ultimate and conclusive "facts and logic anti-libtard" weapon, completely forgetting to account for context and observation in your assessment.

You know, it's funny how the same thing happened decades ago with race. Scientists used to believe that the blood composition in different races would be different, and now we know that that was just nonsense fueled by confirmation bias. But keep trying to argue that it's all a big coincidence even though Twitter accounts like heightismexposed have a lot of content to show. It must all be proved by science and academic studies, or else it's worthless!

The "evidence" for the correlation of height and intelligence is anything but concrete.

No. In practically all population-representative studies, there is a moderate positive correlation between height and intelligence. This is in large part because people who are taller tend to have larger brains.

In fact, if you actually read these studies

You have read zero of them and if you had read any, it's doubtful you would have understood them.

Studies that interpret these results conclude that they're due to employment discrimination

Employment discrimination cannot affect intelligence.

Even a lot of the originak [sic] ones still attribute these differences to discrimination.

This doesn't make any sense.

You're treating your evidence as the ultimate and conclusive "facts and logic anti-libtard" weapon, completely forgetting to account for context and observation in your assessment.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You know, it's funny how the same thing happened decades ago with race.

This never happened and there is a zero percent chance you can source such a thing happening.

Scientists used to believe

""Scientists""

the blood composition in different races would be different

Frequencies of blood types do differ, there are blood types found only in specific ethnicities, and there is more to blood than A, B, O+/- and these do vary by ethnicity/race. It's not possible to deny this without lying or being ignorant.

fueled by confirmation bias.

Your accusation is based on literally no content.

But keep trying to argue that it's all a big coincidence even though Twitter accounts like heightismexposed have a lot of content to show.

They have literally nothing to show.

It must all be proved by science and academic studies, or else it's worthless!

I can translate your whole comment to "I haven't done any research, I won't do any research, heightism is real, and I have no evidence to support this case."

All well-powered evidence points to pleiotropy between height and intelligence. Intelligence accounts for a portion of the height-income correlation and perhaps all of it when measured better (also, if you cannot understand how mediators/colliders work, do not bother replying) 1 2 3. In harsher rearing environments, we should see a stark height and healthiness correlation as well, making for an even larger relationship between height and income than is normally found (because environmental insults can impact height). The NLSY is open access, available to use if you want to go verify the link yourself. You can easily model intelligence without measurement error and see the height-income gap disappear when this is controlled for. Please do not continue to talk out of your ass.
