Are younger generations getting shorter or taller? (Short Time)

If you think that kids are now shorter or taller than how your generation used to be, read this:

Galton’s experiment:

In 1875, Galton (Google Him) distributed packets of sweet pea pods of uniform size and weight to seven friends. Galton then measured the seeds of the successive generation. He noticed that the median diameter of the large seeds was less than that of the parents while the median diameter of the small seeds were greater that of the parents.

He continued to notice the same effect in the height of humans that is if one’s measurement is far from its mean, the other will closer to its mean “regression toward the mean”. The process doesn’t go out of control. People don’t get dumber or smarter over short periods of time. And the same can be applied to intelligence, artistic talent, etc.

So for example, if the parents are tall, their kids would not necessarily be as tall and if the parents are short, their kids would not be necessarily as short.

Kuwaiti Documentary: TOKAI

“There are 200,000 Bangladeshi workers in Kuwait

Workers from other third world countries flock to this oil rich nations in hopes of fulfilling their dreams

The injustice goes on”

When will this cruelty end?

When will the government do something about these companies?

Why can’t they have their rights?

Don’t tell me that they live in much worse conditions in their countries; it doesn’t give you the right to oppress them like that.

Love vs Desire

“What is commonly called “falling in love” is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever. The Spanish language is the most honest in regard to conventional notions of love: 'Te quiero' means “I want you” as well as “I love you”. The other expression for “I love you”, 'tea mo', which does not have ambiguity is rarely used-perhaps because true love is just as rare.”
