Andrea Batista Schlesinger, author of The Death of Why?: The Decline of Questioning and the Future of Democracy, says that the inquisitive mind is an endangered species. And contrary to what many would like us to believe, Google and the Internet are not actually engendering a more critical caste of mind. In fact, they're encouraging easy fast answers to questions that require a bit more thought. So how can we reengage with our critical faculties? Schlesinger also discusses her decision to join Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s re-election campaign. What has she learned and what do progressives have to learn about working for change on the inside and outside.
