The article is real: https://archive.is/ugYw3

It's got everything you expect: projection, lack of self-awareness, lack of context, and of course LIES. No link to the study either. I did a bit of digging and I believe this is it: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/23/e2019527118

It's a break on the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect: Quote from Michael Crichton:

>“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. 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. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. 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.”

People are no longer forgetting the baloney when they turn the page or read the next article. People are questioning everything now. I should say most people.
