I posted a follow on to my earlier discussion about a recent Stanley Fish article, but for some reason it has appeared down the page, as if posted on June 18. Not sure why, but that's where it is!

People are atoms and life is physics

Our Lives As Atoms
This blog explores the idea of my new book, The Social Atom, which is that human behavior is often simpler than we think, and that understanding the social world is a little like physics -- it means learning to anticipate the patterns that emerge naturally when many "social atoms" interact. If this sounds a bit nutty, look here for a brief summary of the key ideas!
New York Times
I explored some of these ideas as a guest columnist for the New York Times, in a column entitled Our Lives as Atoms (May, 2007).
Talks and interviews
You can watch and listen to a talk I gave at Microsoft Research or to a podcast of a similar talk at Xerox PARC. Or listen to the podcast of a radio interview on Radio SETI.

Blogger's default is to date the post according to when you first saved it rather than when you actually post it. There is a fix, though. There is a link just above the bar that says, "Publish Post." The link is called "Post Options," and it allows you to change the date and time of the post, among other things.
I just did this this morning, so, apparently, there's been a lot of this kind of posting going on.
