2025/01/20

You are listening to Curiosity Curated. I am Zong."The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." These chilling words by British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey on the eve of World War I capture the gravity of a moment that plunged the world into darkness.

S7E1 (CN) - 那些被遗忘但和今日息息相关的一战历史教训

Curiosity Curated ·

2025/01/20

您正在收听的是Curiosity Curated，我是Zong。"欧洲各地的明灯正在熄灭，在我们的有生之年恐怕再也看不到它们重新点亮了。"这句令人不寒而栗的话出自英国外交大臣爱德华·格雷爵士之口，是在第一次世界大战爆发前夕所说。这句话捕捉了那个将世界推入黑暗的历史转折点。1914年8月，一场前所未有的毁灭性冲突拉开序幕，其影响如此深远，以至于一个世纪后，其余震仍在继续。在本集中，我们将探讨地缘政治联盟的错综复杂、民族主义的狂热以及帝国野心如何在1914年夏天将欧洲变成了一个火药桶。我们还将分析为什么经济一体化和贸易的力量，在面对民族主义狂热、国家安全顾虑和政治野心这些压倒性因素时，无法为和平提供足够的保障。我们的探索将借鉴几部开创性的著作：由Barbara Tuchman著作的、获得普利策奖的八月炮火（The Guns of August），它巧妙地记录了欧洲陷入战争的整个过程；哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院教授Graham Allison著作的注定一战（Destined for War），它阐明了新兴大国与守成大国之间的竞争关系；以及英国诺贝尔和平奖得主Norman

S6E2 (CN) - 核历史的脆弱本质：二战后的核武器事故、险情、和险些误判

Curiosity Curated ·

2025/01/13

您正在收听的是Curiosity Curated，我是Zong。历史充满了险些酿成灾难的时刻，命运的丝线恰好在紧要关头松开，让我们得以避免难以想象的后果。但当这些命运之线牵系着整个文明的存亡，蕴含着瞬间毁灭数百万生命的可能性时，又会如何？在过去75年里，人类一直生活在一个前所未有的毁灭威胁的阴影之下。我们为了自保而建造的武器，虽然通过相互保证毁灭这一可怕的逻辑来威慑冲突，却也成为了可能导致我们灭亡的双刃剑。1961年1月23日，在美国北卡罗来纳州Goldsboro，一架B-52轰炸机的例行飞行瞬间变成了惊心动魄的危机。一场空中事故导致轰炸机螺旋坠向地面，机上搭载的两枚氢弹随时可能释放毁灭性的力量。世界在这一刻屏住了呼吸，却浑然不知它与灾难擦肩而过。Goldsboro事件生动展示了核历史的脆弱本质——这是一段充满事故、险情和可能致命误判的历史。本集节目以Eric Schlosser的《Command and Control》和Serhii Plokhy的《Nuclear
