Great example of an article which, I hope, invokes the Gell-Mann amnesia effect for most of its tech-educated readers. Its fascinating to read such articles being written with so little irony.
Journalism really is dead now.
- 1cvmask 5y agoThe Economist is a great exemplar of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. Their subpar coverage of wars, Iraq WMDs, Syria, Afghanistan, Middle East, Asia, Latin America (they couldn't even call a coup in Bolivia a coup), Tech, Business all prove the Gell-Man amnesia effect. I don't have enough knowledge about their coverage of Finance though. They seem to fail upwards like most of mainstream media acting as mouthpieces of the DC/London establishement, stenagrophers of the national security establishment and PR agency of many VC funded tech bros.
