5 sats \ 4 replies \ @newnym 15 Oct 2022 \ on: Why the New York Times is critically wrong about hard forking bitcoin
I've gave up trying to explain to normies why mainstream outlets such as the NYT are absolute garbage when it comes to bitcoin.
However, this is was also a redpill for me, as I wonder what else they are utter garbage about.
I know there is even a name for this realization, but I can't remember it now.
I know which one you mean, it was mentioned to me on here some time ago. I'll see if I find it.

Funnily enough whilst writing this post I also knew there was a name for the phenomenon of realising that everything else a site writes might be garbage but I can't think of it either.

Best source I found: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2021/01/18/gell-mann-amnesia
Got the name from this post: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/231746/after-seeing-how-misinformed-an-article-is-in-a-newspaper-you-flip-the-page-and
Not sure however if that is the exact name for the effect I was provided on here by another user. This effect does not seem to be very known. There isn't even a "proper" wikipedia entry for it. I only found this one in some hilarious dialect of German: https://pfl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_Amnesie_Effekt

YES! This is it.
Spent the last hour or so trying to remember.
Thanks for finding it and soothing my mind on this.
