Chairs and posture

students includes elementary students.

And yes school must be banned, but how? Kids must still receive an education, consisting of the core elements: science, math, language and engineering.

What if education is done outside with sports? Instead of sitting down all the time?

Children need to be taught how to live, not the idiocy of “science, math, language and engineering”. First of all, they need to learn to talk, to communicate. After all, no one knows how to do that. Then to teach recreation - to have fun on vacation. That is to teach games, culture of communication, art, music. It’s not bad to teach to love people and yourself. And only then to instill skills, labor and work. Finally, to teach where and how to get the necessary knowledge. I’d also recommend psychology lessons. Better yet, magic (but who among you understands what magic is). That’s it. Well, what of the above, teach stinking and stupid, elementary school? Who of adults remembers and applies the crap that taught in school? Sports are categorically harmful to both the psyche and health. Sport comes from the word "argue. So it’s a struggle, or rather a war for prestige and advantage. Why is it necessary? To get physical and, most importantly, psychological injuries? There is nothing useful in sports. There is gymnastics, that is body culture. It really should be taught. Training on the street? Where else? Life should be taught where it takes place. Why throw it away, in the prison of offices?

that’s what i just said, LANGAUGE was the third thing on my list…

Kids already know how to do that already, they don’t have to be taught it! Its like a school teaching kids to play videogames… Videogames are supposed to be edgy and anti-establishment… forbidden fruit…

Then why can’t adults relax? Dumber than children?

25

Adults are not “dumber” than children. Adults cannot relax for several reasons.

  1. They are overworked and price of rent too high.
  2. They live under hypergamy: If male: They either are incels, or are with a female they are not sexually attracted to.
  3. If female: they cause hypergamy by lacking lust to men, they attracted mainly to a man’s lust of themselves and thus hop around from man to man. There is a good chance also they will become single mothers and totally overworked and raising loud annoying brats.
  4. Stroads and low quality of infrastructure. Depressed idiots also litter and make the world worse.
  5. Lack of high quality recreational facilities. The most are “strip clubs” where you can look but not play. It is not easy for a beginner to actually race a car for example, cars are expensive and it has a lot of wear and tear on the car. Most recreational and social activities are organized by churches, so if they are not religious they are excluded.
  6. Extra responsibilities, more cooking, cleaning, and other obligations such as learning monetary policies and budget management, paying insurance, bills etc.
  7. You cannot just “fight” someone who is belligerent, as you could as a child, without risking jail for instance.

You cheered me up. Thank you. So at 45, I’m a kid again? Redefining values. I’m back to a happy childhood. You’re really fun to be with. I’ve been a child again for twenty years.

27

Not a clue what you are talking about.

28

I’m talking about dropping your “points.” At 45, I didn’t give a damn about any of that.

29

Well you asked why most adults cannot relax. I gave an explanation of common opinions on why.

There is a synergy between body and mind. Mind and body, being. The nerves of the mind go all into the body, and also are represented in the mind. Therefore, it can explain a unified behavoir. If someone works full time and has cranky, sore muscles, this bleeds into their personality, as crankiness. If someone sits in inadequate chairs… their philosophy is more likely to be inadequate…

Likewise with sexual frustration. Consider Ecmandu. Can’t be reasoned out of his delusion for his “water engine” that will never work and cannot work. Even though this was discovered 2,000 years ago, and nobody else has made a “water engine” or “perfect anti-gravity” from it. I’m not sure if he is a virgin or what. I consider myself celibate, but I am not a virgin. I have gotten laid before. If he is a virgin it would explain many things.

.
It’s difficult to find a dressing-table chair that is slim with a high back.. I am determined to find one.

32

Yeah, exactly. Once you’ve spent enough years in bad chairs—airports, offices, classrooms—you stop seeing them as background objects and start noticing how deeply they shape your day. A chair isn’t just where you sit, it’s what your body endures. Good design respects that. It allows for weight, fatigue, shifting priorities over hours.

The problem is, most of what we sit on daily was made for durability and cost-efficiency, not for people. There’s a disconnect there. We’ve engineered spacecraft and microchips, but someone’s still sitting 10 hours a day on molded plywood designed in the ‘50s.

The way we interact with our environment affects our focus, energy, even how we relate to other people. If your seat puts you in survival mode, philosophy won’t follow—it’ll feel like abstraction, not engagement.

It’s worth asking: How many of our ideas about productivity, intellect, or attention are being shaped—quietly—by the chairs beneath us?

Why can’t all office work be done with voice command google glasses?

Each worker has a pair that links them to a P63 personal administrative task unit that occupies that worker’s office space. In effect, the worker can perform any job function without actually being at the workplace through his mind/voice-link to the P63 PATU.

Why can you guys just do that instead of actually sitting in a cubicle all day?

well they tried non-local VR work but the capitalists shut it down citing it had less efficiency. I think there was more to the story, probably the VR was laggy, bad graphics and bad motion controls most likely. And lack of haptics makes it difficult to work.
