What would happen if an affordable, effective height increasing method would be invented?

[Memeito]

Let's say that researchers would find a quick, cheap and effective way of increasing the height by enlarging the length and size of bones, muscles and organs in the human body to basically unlimited dimensions. All the short guys, will probably jump to this opportunity and will quickly be transformed into tall, muscular guys at least 6'2". The people who were tall before, will also most likely enlarge themselves so they wouldn't lose their advantage. It's highly likely that women will also want to grow taller, I know many short girls who wished they would be much taller so they could dominate others.
Where do you think this race for height will lead to? Is there an upper limit, where people will decide: "OK, there's no point going over this!", or everyone will keep increasing their size to outdo others?

people would all become taller until the ideal tallness was achieved because once you get over 6-4 or 6-5 you start getting bad posture and looking weird

It will never happen.

I don't know, there are many NBA players who are over 6'6" and have excellent posture and still look proportional...

wed all become 7'0 tall giga chad space marines spawned from the emperor's gene-seed. if it was possible to induce osteoclast and osteoblast proliferation for the purpose of height growth that would also imply the capabilities to improve craniofacial development

The one thing I hate about being 6’9” is posture. I have to literally scrunch down to hear people sometimes. Its super fucking inconvenient.

would still rather be 6’9” than 6’5” though.

Uhhh, you got it all wrong...it's the tall people who claim height doesn't matter, it's the rich who declare that money doesn't bring happiness, and it's the beautiful people who say that looks aren't important.

Joining the NBA would finally require skill
