    The problem is that masses of people do not demand the truth, the real art and the authentic. The reason is the truth and the real art is harder to understand compared to the specious. As such, people keep reading Twilight rather than the brother Karamazov, the magic mountain and etc. That is why in our world the best way to pick books becomes to avoid best-sellers. So I would say in capitalism the role of media become "manufacturing consent" rather than truth, art or wisdom.

  • Competent overview. Comments from viewers less insightful, many stupid.

  • Many of these comments are rather disturbing. I would offer the view that the majority who are slinging charges of 'obscurantist postmodernism' 'jewish conspiracy' and even 'commies' have not read any works published by any of the proponents of The Frankfurt School. These charges are the worst kind of straw man set ups, and a refusal to engage the material properly says more about the obtuse characters posting these rather narrow, and pathetic comments - than it does about the Frankfurt School.

  • Our only crime is letting these Jewish scum live !

  • scrambled categories please, no salt.............

  • Jews! Communism/Marxism/Anti-racism/­Feminism..al jewish ideologies for destroy white race. I am ready for fight against this evil.

  • I have a 2500 word essay to do on this for Monday. Safe to say I'm screwed.

  • @happosai27 agreed.

  • @mayorofthenonsense you can just as easily say all your ideas about anything are sculpted by somebody. We are all influenced by things surrounding us. What does that /mean/?

  • i find it odd how all the frontthinkers of the frankfurt school were almost all jews. talk about a jewish conspiracy to overthrow the western world in favour of a godless communist tyranny. hitlers worst crime was to let these commies escape to north america

  • @mayorofthenonsense The Frankfurt School had 1 explicit mission and 1 implicit mission : critique of capitalism and how to eliminate antisemitism.

  • The Postmodernism Generator is a computer program that automatically generates postmodern essays. Gramatically correct but meaningless.

    Now watch a college gaduate reviewing a computer generated essay. He has no clue of its true origin.
