Quote by Adorno, Theodor
"Mimesis—the human capacity to imitate nature—has been replaced by the calculating domination of nature."
More from Adorno, Theodor
"The culture industry not only adapts to the desires of the masses, but also molds and controls those desires."
"Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent system of administration."
"The more total society becomes, the greater the reification of the mind and the more paradoxical its effort to escape reification on its own."
"Thought is not immaculately preserved in the subject; rather, the subject is thoroughly mediated by the totally administered world."
