Postman (1993), p. 113. A technopoly also trivialises significant cultural and religious symbols through their endless reproduction.Postman (1993), p. 165 Postman echoes Jean Baudrillard in this view, who theorises that "technique as a medium quashes … the ‘message’ of the product (its use value)", since a symbol's "social finality gets lost in seriality".

Robert Shearman and Lars Pearson, in their book Wanting to Believe: A Critical Guide to The X-Files, Millennium & The Lone Gunmen, rated the episode two stars out of five, noting that it "turns the complex into something easy and obvious". Shearman and Pearson felt that the character of Sara Bangs was "treated as an object by the episode", and that Carter's script "takes a very real issue and trivialises it" by presenting such an "open and shut case". However, they noted that the episode was "very well acted", and was "clearly well intentioned".Shearman and Pearson, pp.

Jim Holt reviewed the book for the New York Times and says the story "is presented with real graphic verve. (Even though I’m a text guy, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the witty drawings.)" although he does note "one serious misstep" involving the overplaying of the impact Russell's paradox had on mathematics.Algorithm and Blues, New York Times, September 28, 2009 A review at The Guardian said that the "authors tell the story with a humour and lightness of touch that pokes fun at the philosophers and mathematicians involved, but never trivialises the philosophy or the mathematics", concluding that "Doxiadis has shown that by using fiction to provide an emotional context to mathematical discoveries it can make for a gripping read. Uncle Petros was a bestseller and the much more ambitious Logicomix deserves to be one too."Logicomix by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H Papadimitriou, The Guardian, October 3, 2009 The book was recommended by the New Statesman in late September.

François Marchesseault of Ici Musique complimented the album's 11 songs as "smart, melodious", as well as catchy and danceable, especially where contrasted with the darker and more serious content of the lyrics, as on "Hope", which addresses Alzheimer's disease. Although acknowledging that there were no songs as big as "Help Myself" from Roussel's album Ginger (2010), Marchesseault called it "so well done, so enjoyable compared to other productions of the moment". Valérie Lehoux of Télérama pointed out that the album contains several elements characteristic of Roussel's style, such as his alternation between French and English in certain songs, prominent use of choruses, and mixing litany and excitement, that Roussel also utilises in his work with the band Louise Attaque. Lehoux felt that although the album contains singles with "radio potential" ("Hope" and the Paradis duet), it lacks strength because more serious themes on the album (like Roussel singing about death and oblivion) are not fully realised and that the more "polished and proper production [...] trivialises" Roussel's nasal voice.
