Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think

Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think

The quote “Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think” by Theodor Adorno encapsulates the idea that in today’s society, true critical thinking has been replaced by a superficial form of thinking that is more concerned with confirming one’s preconceived notions rather than engaging in genuine intellectual inquiry. Adorno, a prominent German philosopher and sociologist, was known for his critical analysis of modern society and culture, and his work often focused on the ways in which mass media and consumer culture have shaped our modes of thinking.
