Nuclear Arms and Human Rights

[@sawkodaniel]

Dear Mr. Ferguson, you have forgotten to list Stanislaw Ulam as one of the crucial scientists involved in the Manhattan project, along with the Teller-Ulam design of Hydrogen bomb. Other than that, fantastic talk and thoroughly thought provoking.

Mr. Ferguson, we were simply lucky. There were many false alarms at NORAD and the Soviet equivalent that nearly went unchecked seconds before launch. The only thing that kept us from oblivion was the value of preservation of life that is presently not shared by all nuclear capable states and a whole lot of luck.

The audio isn't great

[@throbbingG]

When he says a lot of good stuff has been written right now about the history of human rights and he mentions 'Arners 3rd volume' does anyone know what book he is talking about?

[@tubebellator]

I don't understand your point. Why did you even take the time to post this comment?

I find Niall Ferguson self-regarding and narcissistic. His argument is murky and rambling. He lacks humanity. I not convinced that he knows what 'civilisation' is...
