I'm still hoping for a nice ballanced impartial article from the New Statesman / H. Barnes on this topic, seems like we could be waiting a while..

I've seen friends notice a trend along these lines: "when I post about matters of equality, justice etc it's minimal engagement..."
I wonder if a 'like' just feels too simplistic gesture for many

But you're right people don't have this reticence with similar posts that on 'Westminster' stories!

Even a major Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy plot point is a satire on the apparent wisdom getting rid of the 'useless third' of your organisation!!

I imagine there's a generation of people that would love to read about things like Blade Runner, Back to the Future, maybe Robocop placed into some kind of political and social narrative.

Following your books so far on different 'Cultural Histories' - could you ever see yourself doing something similar on the cultural stories around the rise (or rise and fall) of let's say 'Neo-liberalism' and the dominance of the free market?

How is the article content promoting pure pseudo-science?
I totally agree that the CFS is "just a psychological issue" 100% discredited..

..but I think the article proposes medical intervention plus some reframing can be beneficial for some people. Surely that's different to pure pseudo-science?
