1945年至今的核爆炸事件 ©RadicalCartography
Was the Cold War really so cold? In addition to “hot” conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba, the second half of the twentieth century also witnessed a steady stream of nuclear explosions set off by the major powers — where “major power” was circularly defined in terms of nuclear technology. Since World War II almost 2500 nuclear bombs have been detonated, more than 500 of which were detonated in the atmosphere, sending fallout around the globe.
One difficulty with this map is to show both the number and the magnitude of these explosions. At Bikini Atoll, for example, the United States conducted only 22 tests, but these were some of the largest tests ever performed. Many more tests were performed in the Nevada desert, but each test tended to be smaller in scale. Novaya Zemlya and the Semipalatinsk Test Site had a similar relationship in the USSR.

1990年代，芬兰人Lasse Nordlund在芬兰东部北卡累利阿区的一个小镇开始试验一种尽可能自给自足的生活方式，并最终达到了仅需30到50欧元即可满足整个家庭一年生活所需的程度。在他于2008年公布了描述这种生活方式的文章后，这种似乎违反大多数人常识的做法在当地网络引来了巨大且两极分化的讨论。人们难以相信有人竟然可以在完全脱离了社会金融系统和组织系统的情况下生存。有人质疑作为父母他是否有权决定子女生活的方式，也有针对这种质疑的反问『如果他没有权利决定的话，依托于现代生活方式的人就有权利决定后代的生活方式吗？』，这一争论最终又上升到关于「常识」的讨论，人们只愿意把其身处的环境里发生的事情理所当然看作常识，而除此以外其它的可能性则被视为异端，并竭力使后代与后者隔离。另外一个引发的讨论是，关于现代生活方式与地球资源之间的调和关系，这个讨论也是趋于两极化，其中不乏对现代人类生活沉迷堕落和动手能力退化的批评与担忧。讨论甚至与难民问题联系在一起了，某种程度上，涌入的难民在当地的求生策略像极了Lasse Nordlund自给自足的生活，因此这样的视角给解决难民问题也带来了启发。👉 Self-sufficiency defying common sense
