"As Theodore Adorno wrote: “The tendency to occultism is a symptom of regression in consciousness” "
I think Adorno is saying that swallowing a line of paranoid crap means you're not thinking well.
However, Adorno says it much, much better.
That's a great quote - however, as we've seen so often on FR, one man's occultism is another man's holy and true faith. ;)
