OF THE
TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... 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...
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. Wayne Dyer articulated it so precisely when he said, “The concept of balance defines our Universe. The cosmos, our planet, the seasons, water,...

No Surprises & Finding Nemo-Toad!
First, such natural patterns are common throughout nature. Non biological examples abound: The circle - 2 dimensions, - e.g., a rainbow would be if it wasn't cut off by the ground; or, in three dimensions, ther first and most obvious would be a sphere. . Cylinders are common too, in the shape of a tree trunk or in its internal piping mechanisms.
Also, there's plenty of hexagonal crystals, (halite?) -which is based at a molecular level rather than cellular level. Biological examples of tendencies towards such types of organization are also commong - e.g. hesagons are common. Think of a construction site where a bunch of plastic pipes have been stacked over time. Their plasticity will naturally result in a "honeycomb shape" - (a honeycomb being itself another eample).
& Next: "Finding Nemo-Toad,"
Originally, Finding Nemo was going to be called Finding Nemo-Toad. It was originally going to be the story of a suicidal attempt to catch up with a nematode threatening the life of a heroic toad named Nemo. (Bad, weak, joke. Sorry.)
But Wait! There's also a new documentary about the failings of AmeriKa's "Emergency Services department," and itheir failing to do their jobs after Katrina and Sandy. It will focus on your typically surly, groping DHS employees. It will be called...
FEMA-Toads!
Whatever. Sorry.
