morning boy's letters on serious matters and commentary on funny things aplenty
Two new terms for me in the context of sitting: Perching and Dynamic Sitting.
Wikipedia page says Dynamic Sitting is the opposite of Static Sitting. It’s like saying Virtual Reality is the opposite of Physical Reality. No, more like Online is the opposite of Offline.
Have you found weirdly opposing opposites?
I tried simulating the-saddle-chair-sitting on a normal chair, opening the legs wide out, keeping the level of knees much lower than the hips while sitting, and yes I could see that my spine automatically got into a natural erect shape. It works just like that.
Important to adopt the saddle-chair-sitting for usual working days, now that I’ve observed this through a simple simulation.
And since I’ve been looking at legs and posture and trousers and chairs, it wasn’t too far for me to search for a term like ergonomic trousers. Ergonomic chairs, ergonomic trousers. And there are trousers called as such. Wow! What a world, small!
Apparently, these saddle chairs are marketed quite a lot as dental equipment. Funny! As if only dentists sit and work.

How do I get hold of something like this? I may make one with the old Bajaj scooter seat…
