007 如果宇宙Vol 2：被迫大融合时代的人类文明重构 What if Vol 2: Reimagining Civilization in an Era of Forced Integration

57 minutes

【聊了什么】

在这期节目中，我们延续上一期节目的建筑学和工程学角度，对“超级建筑”里人类历史发展的设想进行了进一步的推演：当地球环境不再适合人类居住，全球80亿人口将被迁移至北美大平原上的一座超级建筑群中。这个由网格化区块构成的巨型居住系统，不仅要解决人类的生存问题，更要尽可能保持危机前的生活丰富度。

当所有人类被迫共处一"楼"，地缘政治会如何重构？没有了海洋作为天然屏障，小国寡民还能否独善其身？在这个高度集中化的生存体系中，谁将成为新的统治阶级——是掌握核心技术的工程师，还是在旧世界就积累了财富的既得利益者？而当第二代、第三代在这个密闭空间中长大，他们还会认同曾经的民族文化吗？

In this episode, we continue our previous discussion on architecture and engineering by exploring how human history might unfold within a "super-structure": When Earth becomes uninhabitable, humanity's 8 billion population will relocate to a massive building complex on North America's Great Plains. This grid-based mega-structure aims not just to ensure human survival, but to maintain the richness of pre-crisis life.

When all of humanity is forced to live under one "roof," how will geopolitics be reshaped? Without oceans as natural barriers, can small nations maintain their independence? In this highly centralized system, who will become the new ruling class - the engineers who control core technologies, or those who accumulated wealth in the old world? And as second and third generations grow up in this enclosed space, will they still identify with their ancestral cultures?

【我们是谁 The Who】

选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。

我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。

主讲：

刘怡，记者，业余游泳健将

周琪，热爱胡思乱想的考古工作者

Aileen，奔走在社会公益第一线的公卫人

Michael，哲学系毕业，漂泊的金融从业者

选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013.

The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions.

Our Guests:

Liu Yi, journalist and avid swimmer

Zhou Qi, archaeologist with a penchant for wild imagination

Aileen, public health worker on the frontlines of social welfare

Michael, philosophy graduate turned wandering finance professional
