Ok, we know sitting is bad for you, but entire swaths of the economy depend on people sitting for long times to do their jobs, so we as a collective society will not do anything about this as profits will go down as a result of adopting measures to prevent people from sitting for long periods of time.

Do we really need to be sitting to do the jobs? One of my favorite conference rooms in my office has a desk that’s perfect height for standing but also comes with high chairs for those who don’t want to stand. Unless the meeting is > 1hr I usually prefer to stand the entire time.

I also find standing is better for collaborative meetings - I find im much more open to ideation while standing/moving.

If those kinds of meeting room were standard perhaps it would bring the numbers down.

I requested and received a sit-stand desk at my office. Not sure if standing at a desk is that much better but hopefully so.

We should help those people. Maybe AI can do what they're doing so that they can get up and move around some.

perhaps vigorous exercise in the form of running from police, throwing molotov cocktails, and hand to hand fighting their shiny AI overlords robot assassins would keep them in better shape?
