新聞記者拿俄米．克蘭 (Naomi Klein) 在發表本場演講前數日，坐上了一艄船，航行於墨西哥灣上。她在船上見到英國石油公司 (BP) 透過高風險方式鑽取石油所造成的巨大災難。我們的社會為了獲取新的能源、新的金融工具等資源，已對極端風險成癮。而多數時候，社會大眾得在後頭收拾殘局。克蘭想知道：後備方案在哪裡？

拿俄米．克蘭：對風險成癮

Modern society has become dangerously comfortable with gambling away what is precious and irreplaceable, from fragile ecosystems to stable economies. After witnessing the BP oil spill’s lingering damage to phytoplankton in the Gulf of Mexico, the talk exposes how reckless risk-taking—from financial crashes to extreme energy extraction—echoes a deeper cultural myth of endless growth and backup plans. The illusion that technology or new frontiers will save us keeps us from facing real limits and embracing precaution. Until we change the stories we tell about power, nature, and progress, we risk repeating catastrophe.
