Theodor Adorno's Social Media
Shmoop eavesdrops on your favorite critic's online convos.
What the what? I just got a friend request from Theodor Adorno?
Ha! He succumbed. I've been pressuring him to join for years.
Yay!
Don't tell Heidegger.
I wouldn't worry. Heidegger doesn't read Adorno's books or essays. I doubt he'll care to read his status updates.
You know Adorno will troll him, though.
True. The Big H should probably make his profile private.
What gives? I don't have a friend request from him.
Perhaps he doesn't know you're on here. This is kind of capitalist place, after all; just look at all the ads.
It's just Facebook.
Surprised you're here, dude.
Next you'll tell us you use Spotify.
So is this wasteland all you feared?
Adorno! Adorno! I sent you a request! Confirm! Confirm!
Five bucks says he loves it and hates himself for it.
You've all changed.
New glasses! Like the pic?
Meh.
The Balding German Eye Center.
Well, at least you didn't get them at a major chain.
Yeah. What's up with your wanting to be the same as Horkheimer?

He's not (re)sponding. May/be. He's. At the (an?). Eye (Argos Panoptes, 100-eyed god) place/unplace, sign-symptom of (post-?)language in/of crisis, in spite of/at itself.
Is something wrong with your keyboard, Jacques?
Dude. Those are the same pair.
Admittedly, he wears them better.
I don't know you anymore. Ever since you've joined social media, you've lost your edge.
I'd say the turning point was the time that Ke$ha retweeted him. It's all been downhill since.

I took the BuzzFeed "Which Philosopher Are You?" quiz, and I'm Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

Hmm. You're an influence, I'll admit, but I wouldn't exactly identify myself with your philosophy, Hegel.
I got Nietzsche. Not sure if that fits.
All the results are men. Figures.
The "Which Classic Writer Is Your Soul Mate?" quiz is better.
Oh, lovely. Obviously a faulty quiz.
JK, Adorno.
Ol' T.W.? You don't say.
