Explain this.

>In Wagner, law is unmasked as the equivalent of lawlessness. The Ring could have as its motto the statement by Anaximander recently analysed by Heidegger, who as a mythologist of language is not unlike Wagner: 'Wherever existing things have their origin, there too they must of necessity perish, for they must pay the penalty and be condemned for their iniquity, in accordance with the order of time.’ The law that defined itself as punishment for lawlessness comes to resemble it and itself becomes lawlessness, an order for destruction: that, however, is the nature of myth as it is echoed in pre-Socratic thought, and Wagner adopts it not just as subject matter, but in its innermost aesthetic consequences.

Does Adorno think everyone is schizophrenic or just Wagner?
