'''Theodor Adorno''' (Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 1903 – Visp, Switzerland, 1969) was a German social psychologist who belonged to the left-wing '[[Frankfurt School]]' of critical theorists. Members of The Frankfurt School were principally Marxist. As such, he was one of two people within the Frankfurt School that were most responsible for falsely conflating [[fascism]]/[[Nazism]] with the [[Right-wing]], the other being [[Herbert Marcuse]]. In his case, Adorno played a massive role via the writing and publishing of the book ''The Authoritarian Personality'' as well as the creation of the "F-Scale" to detect "fascism."

Adorno was one of the most important philosophers and social critics in [[Germany]] after [[World War II]]. He also wrote the book ''Reflections From a Damaged Life'', which inferred that coercion of logic can be broken through from dialectic thought. This book later acted as one of the influences on [[The Wachowskis]] (then known as the Wachowski Broyhers) for ''The Matrix'' trilogy.<ref>http://www.equip.org/article/the-matrix-unloaded-revelations/</ref><ref>Peter Bart, “Cracking the Wachowski’s Code,” Variety.com, May 25, 2003.</ref><ref>http://variety.com/2003/film/columns/cracking-the-wachowskis-code-1117886840/</ref>
