Opinion Delusion Society
Normal opinion is perceived as being the public or common opinion. It is seen as a “true” opinion. This is the opinion that is held by the vast majority of people. Deviant opinion is deemed the “false” opinion. Adorno describes deviant opinion as an “opinion of an extreme, eccentric, bizarre nature. ... Adorno defined pathological opinion as “a hardened opinion, reified consciousness, and the damaged capacity for a full experience. ... Two forces that help make an opinion pathological are Narcissism, the love of one self, and Socialism. ... We believe in our opinions as we believe in our ourselves and if that is being questioned or attacked, we feel as though we are having to defend our entire personality or existence, not just a mere opinion. ...
Adorno also says that “tendency toward pathological opinion must be derived from normal opinion. ... What turns this practice into a pathological opinion is the fact that they don’t stop to think about McDonald’s as a corporation or how they treat the environment, their livestock, or what their food can do to the people that eat there on a daily basis.
