I'm aware of Gell-Mann Amnesia and read from a variety of sources.
This was really a comment on how most journalism is even worse. The NYT does occasionally have pieces where I know about the topic and their representation goes into details that others aren't likely to. Those are, however, not a large percentage of their output.
- outlace 6y agothanks for referencing Gell-Mann Amnesia. Never heard of it before but after looking it up it is quite compelling.
- Noumenon72 6y agoI've known about Gell-Mann amnesia for years but never experienced the feeling of 'this coverage of a thing I know is terrible', even in this piece. Maybe I don't know much about anything, or maybe I'm a conflict theorist, not a mistake theorist, so when I see them get things wrong like this, I assume it was on purpose.
