Gell-Mann Amnesia
The Blatant Use of Censorship, Mis- and Dis- Information to Cement Confusion
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, [Murray Gell-Mann] physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
Dr Michael Crichton MD (Harvard)
A succinct discourse below that perfectly highlights Gell-Mann amnesia:
The core idea is simple yet profound: a person might read a news article in their area of expertise and easily spot errors or misinterpretations. However, when reading articles on subjects they know less about, this same person is likely to believe the information presented despite their prior recognition of the media's fallibility in other areas. This contradiction not only exemplifies the selective skepticism of individuals but also underscores a broader dilemma in assessing information.
Combatting the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect requires a concerted effort to foster critical thinking and media literacy. Individuals can cultivate a more analytical approach to media consumption by questioning the sources, seeking corroborating evidence, and being aware of their cognitive biases.
Understanding this phenomenon is more important than ever in an age where media is pervasive and powerful. It underscores the significance of skepticism and the necessity to apply it uniformly across different knowledge domains.
The chief and glaring omission in this one sided article is an abject failure to allude to the obvious by fingering the purveyors of confusion, the puppet masters and their media tools. The ‘media’ has been thoroughly and unquestionably weaponized, and its many targets reside in the undermining of coherence and rational thought among the populace, of engaging in a range of actions designed to destabilise emotional and intellectual equilibrium, to foster fear and uncertainty, to invert values, to erase and delegitimize the established norms of morality and ethics, and to act as an ad hoc agent provocateur.
In reality therefore, this media or better put, presstitutes, a lethal foe by any other words, (that also includes the controlling gambits of [anti]social media platforms and players) is waging a no holds barred, Fifth Gen guerrilla warfare. It is undertaking this over paid task for scantily clad supranational entities that possess no tangible constitutency other than their own demented self-interest.
‘Traditionally, guerrilla warfare has been a weapon of protest employed to rectify real or imagined wrongs levied on a people either by a ruling government or by a foreign invader. As such, it has scored remarkable successes and has suffered disastrous defeats’.
A Final Curtain Call
I have published several ventilations of oecd.stat data ~ now moved to https://data-explorer.oecd.org/ ~ that focused on the weekly percent excess deaths above the 2015 - 2019 mean in New Zealand, Australia and Sweden, particularly as the latter provide an obvious counterpoint to the running experiment Down Under. Now, four years in, the data states the obvious. There appears little point in continuing to highlight the obvious or quibble about cause. In any event, there exists a growing concession among many that the world neither feels nor appears as it should. Let us be certain, of that there can be no mistake, none whatsoever.
So here is my final, albeit slightly incomplete rendition of weekly excess deaths since 2020. New Zealand and Australia continue to mirror each other with precision (a small caveat: Australia has not submitted the last 14 weeks of data 2023, while Sweden has not submitted the last 5 weeks of data 2023). New Zealand has submitted all its 2023 data. Linear arithmetic trend lines have been adopted.
Post Script
Bafflement
Bafflement is serious. This life threatening disease is rife. Give or take, it is currently running at around 15% above the usual 2015 - 2019 mean (allowing for a increase in population) in New Zealand and Australia. Furthermore, the number of fatal cases of bafflement in Oceania essentially mirror each other across both sides of the Tasman, and at a level of exhibiting breathtaking concordance.
Prolonging the dubious entertainment seen here, the obvious difference between bafflement observed in Sweden and Down Under suggests a possibility that BioNTech and Pfizer, together with the WEF/WHO orchestrated an entirely different experiment between the two hemispheres.
The Bill Gates big band, with its front row line up of the WEF, WHO, Wellcome, CEPI and GAVI are having a field day. They’re playing the chorus now and they’ll play it a few times, as indeed the tradition for choruses requires, but in the end the music will stop ...
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
