The Day We Lost the H-Bomb — How Nuclear Deterrence Normalized Catastrophic Risk
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The Day We Lost the H-Bomb by Barbara Moran as a systems-level analysis of how Strategic Air Command, nuclear doctrine, and continuous readiness shaped the Palomares disaster.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than isolated mistakes, the episode shows how deterrence systems can normalize extreme risk, depend on rigid operational routines, and still fracture into uncertainty when failure occurs.
