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.

Russia should just expel any diplomats from hostile countries. Like what good are they anyway? All they pedal is Lies and deceit.

I was caught up in a spectacular dolphin hunt aboard my yacht in 2007, about 50 miles SE of Aberdeen. A pod of about 40 dolphins were being hunted by about 6 orcas whose ambitions were frustrated by my yacht. The adult dolphins could play hide and seek with them and not get split away from the rest of the group where an individual could be remorsely hunted down in turn by the Orcas, instead they took turns to be chased.
A wise mother shielded her calf alongside the cockpit and just in front of the running outboard, the noise of which kept the orcas at bay. Shielded from the orcas sonar by the deep long leaden keel, hull and main engine the pair swam so close to each other I could not have put a hand between them, although I could have touched either with ease.
After the Orcas eventualy departed we sang together and the dolphins came with me almost into Blyth.
