Other recent updates/additions:
• Relativism
– Down-to-earth reasons to favour philosophical
relativism.
• Media
Hell – Our new media website
is now online. It's like Anxiety Culture,
but more focused on media. Includes a discussion
board.
• BBC's
misleading crime headlines – We noticed
a pattern of crime misreporting on BBC News
Online – a consistent cherry-picking
of "rises" in crime (which often weren't
rises at all).
• "Real"
positive thinking – The type of positive
thinking that needn't upset pessimists.
• Complaint to BBC
– The BBC upholds our complaint about its
scaremongering and erroneous crime reporting.

You is Wrong – A new ebook (208 pages),
by Anxiety Culture editor Brian Dean.
This is now available to download, together
with The Lazy Person’s Guide to Power
and PDF versions of the original Anxiety
Culture magazine (back issues 1-3). All
we ask is a small online donation to help us
keep the site running.
