In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard.

“The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.”

He plots stories on 2 axes:

X: Time
Y: Good fortune / ill fortune

He goes on to say,

“Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.”

Point 1:

Stories have defined patterns.

In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey.

Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world.

Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes.

Each story, he said, fit one of the 8.

Point 2:

Vonnegut says,

“Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.”

To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer.

Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for.

Point 3:

End on a high note.

Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.”

The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it.

It’s called recency bias.

Lift people up and they will love you.

“There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.”

Pandemia ora che vai via
che ci faccio con la rosolia
Pandemia se te ne vai via
lavo i piatti in qualche pizzeria
Pandemia quanta nostalgia
delle conferenze in Lombardia
Pandemia io sarò brutale
ma col c***o vado a lavorare
in un ospedale

And it's out!
This is the first time I've ever held a book, I mean a real book, with my name on the cover.
I kind of expected it, but it's still a thing! 🙂

The public-health strategy was isolation and quarantine. “Before this outbreak, quarantine and isolation were not often evoked for infectious-disease outbreaks,” Khan told me—at least, not in the recent past. During the medieval plagues in Europe… https://t.co/zqSUHmANxI

Come penso fosse intuitivamente ovvio, il contact tracing manuale ha la funzione principale, il contact tracing digitale una funzione accessoria.

Per evitare problemi, comunque, nel nostro paese non si fa né uno né l'altro.

All'udir parole d'un tanto signore, così gagliarde e sicure, e accompagnate da tali ordini, viene una gran voglia di credere che, al solo rimbombo di esse, tutti i bravi siano scomparsi per sempre. Ma la testimonianza...

... il tribunale suddetto ordinò alcune precauzioni che, senza riparare al pericolo, ne indicavano il timore. Prescrisse più strette regole per l’entrata delle persone in città; e, per assicurarne l’esecuzione, fece star chiuse le porte:
