There was a meeting today of some of the people in our group who are working on a project together. I am in the group, but I had a conflict and so could not attend the meeting.<\/p>\n
The meeting organizer kindly recorded key parts of the meeting. He sent me a link to a video, which I just now finished watching.<\/p>\n
It was very informative to “sit in” on the Zoom meeting, even if only forensically. But in a way the most interesting thing is what happened at the very end.<\/p>\n

Although it made no objective sense, I found myself smiling and waving along with everyone else. Obviously I was not there, and the meeting had long ended, yet I found the compulsion to join in at that moment to be overwhelming.<\/p>\n
