Questions are our jam at Intellectual Roundtable! Hosts Lee and Michael each choose a question from the long history of the blog, and revisit those questions in a discussion. In this episode, those questions are:
Both Lee and Michael agree that the answer to this question, for themselves as well as for most people they know, is a resounding "yes". That invites further exploration: Why are we so busy? Is the nature of being busy inherent in us as individuals, or is it imposed on us by our society? We talk at length about our ideas around busyness.
"What are our responsibilities to others?"
Michael's choice of question to revisit is a classic, and the answer can inform everything from your relationships to the people and community around you, to your political beliefs. Lee tries to define just how this sense of obligation develops, and Michael shares some stories about his personal relationship with service and how it developed.
