Todd Oppenheimer's new book, The Flickering Mind, blames the heavy investment in educational technologies for a kind of superficial thinking that lacks grounding, rigor and wisdom. In December's issue of FNO we will ask whether Oppenheimer came to his conclusion with an open mind or a closed mind, an appreciation for complexity or a tendency toward presumption and black and white thinking.

Flickering Minds?

What is worse?
  • A flickering mind
  • A closed mind
  • An empty mind
  • A mind crammed full
  • An unquestioning mind
  • A lazy mind
  • An unthinking mind
  • Mentalsoftness
  • Blindness
  • Prejudice
  • Bias
  • Black and white thinking
  • Presumption
  • Certainty
  • Sanctimony
  • Hubris
