Resting Your Chin on the Back of Your Hand to Think May Be Causing Mental Aberrations of an Unknown Kind
We learned the posture from Auguste Rodin's aptly named The Thinker, a sculpture of a hot nude male seated, hunched over a bit, with his chin resting on the back of his hand. We were supposed to think: AH! So that is how a person is supposed to think. The suggestion led to the wide practice that still dominates the lithosphere of very obtuse culture.
Originally seated atop the gates of hell, we were supposed to imagine that The Thinker in 1880 was a man who was thinking about something: but what we do not know. Is he thinking about entering Hell? Did he just leave and so he is a bit heady from the experience, so he thought he would stop right outside, once he got out, and just put his mind to use I guess pondering what just happened? Was he thinking about all the awful things he had done, or was he thinking about all the awful things he would do? Why was he frozen there in that particular pose?
Here is the problem. Sitting like that causes striations in the atmosphere that result in panic or near-panic stage onset disturbances of white-noise-based reflections at the epicenter of callous mimicry or derision located somewhere on earth we just don't know exactly where. In fact, were it to be at or near sundown, on any given Friday, and you might find that the benefits of the posture actually decreases and the negative consequences start to add up to a less-than-ideal outcome.
I'm not saying you should stop thinking like that, just beware of the potential side-effects and adjust your path accordingly.
