      If the risk of nuclear terrorism were 50% over the next decade. What freedom would you sacrifice to diminish it to 5%?

      @SamHarrisOrg Justify the premise of your question. Why should there be a trade off between liberty and security?

      .@libertarian_adi Generally speaking, there is an obvious tension between liberty/privacy and security.

          @SamHarrisOrg @libertarian_adi The tension is only "obvious" in one direction. (More security = less privacy).

          @SamHarrisOrg @libertarian_adi Then we should give up all of our freedoms, right? I mean, that would clearly get us to 100% safety, right?

          @SamHarrisOrg @libertarian_adi I have yet to hear a credible example that demonstrates the inverse is true (less privacy = more security).

          @SamHarrisOrg @libertarian_adi is there any correlation between the moral landscape & nebulous ideas like privacy verses liberty?

          @SamHarrisOrg these are great questions. The kind to which I admit I don't have good answers. Those are the things worth thinking about.
