My view on the global dispersion in the rise of men

Abstract generation in progress

I'm sitting here, looking at these numbers, and what do I see? Europeans are once again ahead of the planet! The Dutch with their 182 cm are just some kind of giants. It must be all because of their dairy diet and those damn bicycles!

But my compatriots from Russia are only 176 cm tall. It's average, nothing special. Although, considering our climate and the constant lack of vitamin D, maybe it's not so bad? And with a vodka in hand, height doesn't really matter.

Interestingly, Asians are noticeably shorter - the Japanese barely reach 171 cm. I always thought it was a myth about "little Japanese people," but it turns out to be true! However, the technologies they create are impressive - their brains clearly didn't grow according to their height.

What about Africa? Kenya - nearly 170 cm, Nigeria - about 166 cm. And this is considering that many there are undernourished! I can only imagine how tall they would be if they ate like Europeans. They would surely surpass those arrogant Dutch.

The funniest thing is that all these figures are loved to be used by various populists. Like, "look, which nation is taller - that one is better!" Complete nonsense. In Yemen, men are barely 160 cm, and so what? But they have such history!

It's funny that traders are also obsessed with numbers. Just as a person's height does not determine their worth, so the numbers on charts do not always show the real picture.

By the way, this data is constantly changing. Koreans, for example, have risen a few centimeters in one generation - all thanks to improved nutrition. The world is not standing still, unlike my height, which has stopped at 175 cm, and now even the Chinese are outgrowing me!
