    1. f a person does not resolve a stage successfully, it may hinder their ability to deal with later stages. For example, the person who does not develop a sense of trust (Erikson's first stage) may find it challenging as an adult to form a positive intimate relationship (Erikson's sixth stage). Or an individual who does not develop a clear sense of purpose and identity (Erikson's fifth stage) may become self-absorbed and stagnate rather than work toward the betterment of others (Erikson's seventh stage)

      When a person does not complete one stage, for example, if as a baby you do not learn how to trust, then as an adult they might have a difficult time trusting people. According to Erikson, each stage builds on the one before. It is like a domino effect: if you don’t learn to trust at an early stage, then all the dominoes will fall down. When you do not learn how to trust as a baby, it could set off a chain of reactions that make later stages feel more challenging. Just as knocking over the first domino causes the rest to fall, struggling in an early stage can affect those that come after.

    1. In jazz terminology, the term “voicing” refers to the arrangement of notes within a chord.That arrangement can be either close or open. In a close voicing the arrangement ofnotes is the most packed possible. In an open voicing, the arrangement of notes is

      intervallically more diverse. The most common method of generating an open voicing is to drop certain notes from a close-position chord down an octave. In a “drop 2” voicing, the second note, counting from the top note, is dropped down an octave. “Drop 2” refers to voicings above the bass in which the bass note is not counted as one of the voices being “dropped.” Each chord in Figure 4.15 includes three “drop 2” voicings because the three notes above the bass can be rotated three times.

      see figure 4.15 on p 47

    1. Ending the threat of authoritarianism is not a left-wing or right-wing problem, and the solution does not reside in building a bigger or a smaller government. Restoring political stability means structuring society’s public and corporate institutions so they can be governed by human beings and communities. It means protecting the property rights of citizens and not confusing property with arbitrary tollbooths erected by tech billionaires. And it means understanding that protecting competitive markets and preventing concentrations of power are essential components of democracy.
