This is actually the power behind the persistent myth of the starving or suffering/tragic artist. If they can see enough artists fail, they can convince themselves that not making art was the right choice - even while that lack of creativity gnaws a hole in them. I’m talking about people who once wished they could be creative but never took the risk or put in the time going out of their way to revel in seeing any hint that the artist life is not worth it, or a failure in some way. “Destructiveness is the outcome of an unlived life.”īy which he means that not following your heart, not following your dreams, turns people bitter, and drives them to make everyone else also miserable - and furthermore they will focus specifically on the people that lived out the life that they couldn’t attain.Īnd look, who among is has never been guilty of a little schadenfreude, right? But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m in the middle of his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, and the basic tenet of that work is that: His most famous work is The Art of Loving, and I found so relevant and interesting to today’s age that I went down a rabbit hole reading some of his other books. Recently I’ve also been reading Erich Fromm, a psychoanalyst who published in the 1940s-50s. “The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” I ran across a quote by poet Mary Oliver, who wrote extensively on the creative life: The AI issue seems to have unearthed a very deep resentment of non-artists towards artists. Something that surprised me and seems to keep popping up more and more frequently is the hostility that non-creatives are bringing to these debates. And the fight around these platforms is ongoing - Karla Ortiz just made it all the way to testifying in front of the US Congress on these issues (you can read her full statement here and watch a bit from CSPAN here) - but this month I’m actually going to focus on something that’s been bothering me even more than the legal and ethical issues surrounding these platforms. Looking back, about half my posts this year have been related in some way to generative AI. The single-clove bulb can be harvested and either eaten or planted again the following autumn, when it will often go on to produce a multi-clove bulb.Over the last year I’ve been neck-deep in the issues around AI Art and AI text generators and how this tech affects my professional creative worlds of Book Publishing and Art Direction. Early planting often reduces the occurrence of solo bulbs. The cloves sometimes don’t divide, producing just slightly larger single-clove (solo) bulbs. It needs a long, warm growing season to produce a good crop and is best planted in October. It produces a small number of very large cloves with a mild flavour. Look in particular for varieties with an RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), which shows they performed well in growing trials – see our list of AGM fruit and veg.Įlephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is often sold as garlic, but is actually more closely related to leeks. Within these two categories, there are many varieties to choose from, with different harvesting times, storage lengths, bulb sizes and flavours. Stores for longer – if planted in autumn it will keep well into the following winter, if planted in spring it will keep until the middle of the following springĭoesn’t produce flower stalks, except in poor growing conditions Produces smaller, more tightly packed cloves Has a stronger, more interesting flavour. Produces bulbs with fewer, larger cloves. There are two main types of garlic – hardneck and softneck.
