The District of Columbia is a monument to the mind rotting nature of bureaucratic office work. It’s a monster that devours civilization.

Said nobody - but this person - ever.

But a study has found that sitting at a desk all day may actually be beneficial for our brains.

To quote the immortal Lily von Schtupp, BOOL-SHEET.

[Wilderness Conservative]

More elitist horse crap. Office people smart, field/production people dumb.

[setter]

Majority of people working from home do not do as good as in a office. Too many distractions and it take extreme discipline.

People work harder when they are work clothes versus t shirt and gym pants.

Studies are all proving this.

The work from home is going to be found out to be a big dud in future years.

Ditch diggers test lower in memory, attention, visual processing speed and reading-based IQ than white collar professionals.

Ditch diggers better clean up and get professional jobs before they lose their edge.

Road apples 💩💩 working from home is just fine.. like the brits. Know

Am not buying what they’re selling.

I do manual work about the grounds on weekends away from my weekday desk job.

Government offices must be different because I can feel my brain turning to mush the minute I walk into one.

[Seruzawa]

You’ll notice that the authors of the study have desk jobs

[Seruzawa]

Non-stop porn is good for the mind? In that case working from home is a government job.

So if you do manual labor, you live a long time because of the exercise but you go senile...

vs.

...if you do office work, your mind is very sharp when you drop dead of a coronary at age 56 from sitting on your ass for your whole life.

Great choice.

[Stosh]

Worked my way through college doing manual labor - and yes, I did my best to forget what the work day was like when it was over. (But I did remember enough of it to realize college was a breeze in comparison).

Oh, yeah. Nothing like an extra hundred pounds or more of fat to feed to the brain. Makes people smarter!

I agree!! I think it’s complete BS to say the WFH model is effective

[escapefromboston]

I’ve had office jobs and I’ve worked as a mail man. All things being equal, I liked being outside walking around a lot more than checking the clock on the wall in an office

[Jan_Sobieski]

Working in offices is GOOD for the mind: New research finds desk jobs keep people mentally sharp while manual work increases risk of memory problems

Which is why Jesus Christ chose a cushy Jerusalem desk job in a high rise overlooking the Kidron Valley

[BobL]

Sounds like an indirect way of trying to get people to accept even more cultural dilution (aka, immigration).

[jerod]

Wild guess... This guy works in an office?
