Let's briefly touch on posture. We won't even get into exercise, God forbid. Let's just talk about posture.
Most, or all of you, poor devils, are looking at this while sitting, sometimes sitting for hours.
Guess what you are sitting on?
You guessed it!
Let me make a few suggestions, prophylactic ones really.
I will refer to an example, Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher, post Enlightenment thinker, (and theologian, frankly). Why?
Kierkegaard had a physical problem, it was actually back trouble, not 'the other', down there, but it casts a bright light on an unusual practice, at that or any other time.
Kierkegaard developed a style of composition, to relieve his back trouble, which apparently was exacerbated by sitting.
He spent long hours composing at a relatively high podium which allowed him to write while standing.
For modern users of laptops this can be a revelation, as it would allow one to shift, back and forth from leg to leg, while standing viewing or typing at, a monitor, thus avoiding the terrible sedentary effects of sitting all day.
