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.
I live in Bolivia, where lithium is mined and the powdered lithium bicarbonate is manufactured. Maybe the population here is always in a good...
Well said and thank you, Caitlin Johnstone.

When I lived in central Oregon (high desert area) I was not so far from this reported snow. Over the 15 or so years I lived there I remember snow falling on 4th of July more than once. Taking 2 weeks either side of 4th of July, I remember (accurately or not, I can't say) there being snow at least 1 year out of every 2 or 3 years. For a while, it seemed to alternate snow or no snow every year for several years in a row.
I understand the climate is very likely cooling, and probably headed for more intense weather events on global scales, but this snow event looks pretty routine to me.
'Course it might look very different to me if I was out standing in it. It's easy to be judgemental when not in the thick of things.
