Thanks, I'll go have a read.

I never really like articles in the Guardian, actually. A lot of times, I think the Guardian prints slightly controversial stuff to rile their readers up a bit.

I've seen that author speak before (he's a colleague of my therapist) and he's much more level-headed when he has more time to talk or space to write. I think it would have been a good thesis (the bit about the bipolar explosion being linked to expiring patents) if he had actually talked about that. My guess is that he's about to start promoting a new book and just wants column inches with his name on them.
