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.
think equally likely to be "WTF? That's not what it's supposed to do...", or possibly "Who the hell are those guys?"
Games = Practice. This is not "news". This is legacy media with nothing to say, either way.

Comment: His answer might not be pleasing to revolutionaries OR conservative authoritarians, but Putin is right. In any state, there must be a series of tradeoffs and compromises. Where and when should protests occur? Obviously not anywhere, otherwise protesters could commandeer private homes and businesses as protest venues. Unfortunately, on 'public' property the state decides, whether the people like it or not. The state has a monopoly on violence, after all. And what should be the goal of protesting? Creation or destruction? Creation is the better choice, if you're prudent. Violent revolution not only risks a violent state response, but also risks replacing the status quo with something worse.
