Nevertheless, height neurosis and its ramifications such as depression, yes, can harm cognitive function. And in turn, sadly, some antidepressants and most tranquilizers harm memory capacity. It's another reason in my opinion for a LL candidate to find good continuous support from a good psychologist, or counselling, or coaching, as obligatory part of the whole process, from the beginning, planning phase, until post recovery or until he/she feels necessary or positive.
I did some researches about it recently and I think Wikipedia 'Height and Intelligence' gave the best answer to this question.
And yeah, as the recapulation of the wiki, the statements like 'short ppl are more stupid' is totally bs, not to mention we can find the opposite instances irl like Japanese, which is composed of a lot of intelligent people, including the son of Soft Bank.
Speaking of Japaneses, I read some materials written in the last century, and it seems to me during WWI and WWII, Japaneses were feeling inferior about their race to White and a writer back then described Japanese as 'more stupid, incapable, shorter than White..'(in regard of height it was true).
They did the exact same thing but used race instead. Some racist scientist wanted to prove that black race was inferior intellectually, and they tried to study a few brains of all the races to see who was superior or inferior. Anyways it was debunked. Race and intelligence has no link. In my experience some people just want to justify the mistreatment of others and want to use a book to do it.

I think this old saying is notable, never judge a book by its cover.

Definitely an old saying. It seems like some of the older ways were a lot better now.

Every new era, people always have new ideas. However I miss some good old days.

Yea, that is true. Personally, I like the old era. The old era it was more personality that mattered. This new era imo its LOOKS first then personality.
Quote from: TranslatingWithWriting on June 02, 2022, 12:54:14 AMYeah, statements like 'short people are more stupid than tall people' are definitely 'stupid'. Not to mention they don't know about statistics and genetics, we can also cite the opposite cases in reality to refute this kind of bs.
Ohh yes the "scientific" community has been discriminatory in regards to trying to show black people as mentally inferior. In fact that is exactly how the trans atlantic slave trade got started. If my memory recalls it was the Portuguese church paid this scientist/research to write a book claiming that africans were intellectually inferior in order to justify the enslavement of africans. The beginning of anti black racism started with the lie. Here is the TEdTalk about it.
They also lied about the size of Africa
