Michael Crighton on the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect

[basquebromance]

It's called the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. The late Michael Crighton explained it well

The secret to achieving enlightenment is to ignore western MSM and governments’ propaganda

Michael Crighton called it : " the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect " = forgetting how unreliable a source is in one area when you trust it in another area.

So is this a rip on the people who trust FOX News, Newsmax and OANN? Because that's what it looks like.

 

[Thunk]

CNN screams "FORGET THE LIE I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY...TODAY I HAVE A NEW LIE FOR YOU TO BELIEVE"!

Leftists: "I BELIEVE"!

Perhaps before he was "the late" and when he spelled his name "Michael Crichton" as well.
