How would they know? Are you divulging the fact that your height is the result of a procedure on the first date? Also are we assuming that women prefer tall men because they want tall children, not because tallness is just an attractive trait? Why would women choose to engage in casual sex with a tall man if their whole goal is to have tall children? Also how does this lead towards idiocracy? If the less intelligent women are sleeping with tech workers, and more intelligent women are sleeping with naturally tall men, then wouldn't we see the offspring of the tech bros + less intelligent women have average intelligence, while the smarter women are having taller, smarter children?

There are so many assumptions being made here. I want to know what the conditions in this hypothetical world are. It sounds fascinating.

That favours wealth over intelligence, or vice versa. So it's a value judgement - are we better off with more children to wealthy parents or to tall parents?

I was making the underlying assumption that wealth has some correlation with intelligence (for someone who made money in tech at least)

Tech bros need money to get height gainz -> must pass tech interviews/bring a product to market -> intelligence

But also there is probably a correlation between height and wealth as well. Either way I don't think that it's anyone's place to determine who should reproduce.
