Quote of the Day

Here's a rather heavy idea, courtesy of German philosopher Theodor Adorno ( 1903-1969), who generally tended towards a pessimistic outlook on things. It's still worth thinking about, though:

"That all men are alike is exactly what society
would like to hear. It considers actual or imagined
differences as stigmas indicating that not enough
has yet been done; that something has still been
left outside its machinery, not quite determined
by its totality."
