This is so true
In the 1990s, a “middle-class job” was enough to buy a house. Being “6 feet” was enough to be tall.

To be “wealthy” now requires a crypto-exit or a tech IPO (The Economic 6’7”).
To be “famous” requires global virality (The Social 6’7”).
To be “attractive” requires filters and surgery (The Aesthetic 6’7”).
