  1. “I once heard a bootleg tape of #JanGarbarek jamming as a teenager. I couldn’t believe what I heard. He was playing hot #hardbop like he had been born in Philly or New York.” #music #jazz #JazzSky #MusicSky #TedGioia open.substack.com/pub/tedgioia...

    I Blame Jan Garbarek

  2. Two types of human systems

    When looking for similar feedback loops in human interactions, Bateson saw that they didn’t always exist, or operate in the way they should. As a result, he recognized that there were two kinds of systems: ones that relied on feedback to create stability, and others that tended to escalate and create runaway trends.

    ~ Ted Gioia, from Why Gregory Bateson Matters

    I will admit this is the first I’ve ever heard of Bateson, and based on Gioia’s article, I seriously considered buying his Steps to an Ecology of Mind. I definitely recommend reading Gioia’s article.

  3. 好萊塢外包的小說家 - FUTURE NOTE

    Link
    📌 Summary: Ted Gioia 在《The Honest Broker》中探討了小說閱讀的式微及其背後的文化影響。他指出,美國成年人閱讀小說的比例在十年間下降了17%,小說逐漸成為獲取電影合約的工具,而非純粹的娛樂作品。此外,當代小說內容多數淺薄,缺乏深度,這導致潛在的優秀作家難以出現。Gioia 擔心未來的小說將簡化並失去文化價值,讀者和創作者的減少預示著文學的未來可能黯淡無光。

    🎯 Key Points:
    - 美國成年人閱讀小說的比例下滑,十年間下降17%。
    - 小說的出版和文化角色越來越小,與好萊塢的電影需求相聯繫。
    - 當代小說多數缺乏心理深度,無法深入探討文化議題。
    - 優秀作家的產出可能因缺乏讀者而減少。
    - 對未來小說的關注,表現出文學是否會變得淺薄和公式化的憂慮。
