Some of you may note the allusion in the title of this post, Korzybski and I, to the play and movie, the King and I. The similarity extends beyond both forms of special K, as you can see:
Of course, Alfred Korzybski passed away before I was born, so I had no chance to know the man, but I know his work, and have been influenced by his writings and ideas, most notably his general semantics. And as some of you may know, I served as Executive Director of the Institute of General Semantics for 3 years, from 2008 to 2011.

So, this past December, I was invited to join the Board of Trustees of the IGS, and accepted. And it occurs to me that I never got around to adding a post about the anthology I co-edited with Corey Anton, who is presently Vice-President of the IGS. The volume, entitled Korzybski And..., was published in 2012 by the IGS, so this is more than a little overdue.
You may have noticed the Amazon order links for the book over on the left, though, and here they are again:
But no doubt you'd like a little more information about what's in the book, and that's perfectly understandable, so here are the contents:

About the Authors
It's an interesting and diverse group of essays, one that leaves lots of room for follow-up at some point in the future. And herein ends my little exercise in what Korzybski referred to as time-binding.
