Each week, we post three brand new questions to intellectualroundtable.com. There are more than four hundred questions that have been asked, and so your hosts Michael and Lee like to choose two from that archive for a discussion for this podcast.

The first question in this show is a binary choice: "Freedom or security?" Both, of course, are necessary in some amount. They conflict with each other, however, and finding a proper balance where you can feel both free and secure can be quite difficult, particularly in a world with as many dangers and problems as we face.

The second question, as chosen by Michael, happens to be, "Is technology neutral?" Often, the promise from our ever-advancing technology is nothing short of salvation. But does technology have an agenda, and will it actually be able to find solutions, or will it just create new problems that must be fixed at some point in the future?

Join us as we have our weekly conversation, and add your own thoughts in the comments section at the Intellectual Roundtable blog.
