Gell-Mann Amnesia and Michio Kaku
Angela Collier
Physicist Angela Collier uses Gell-Mann amnesia to critique pop-science figures, especially Michio Kaku, and works through an eigenvalue problem along the way. It is a long, rambling commentary on how experts see simplified explanations of their own field.
HN commenters recommend it for the Gell-Mann amnesia framing and as a skeptical take on Michio Kaku.
