Rob Lowe: 人们常常对过去怀旧，但往往忽略了当时生活中的许多不便和痛苦，例如落后的医疗技术。他以牙科为例，说明现代医疗技术水平的进步，让人们对过去的美好回忆打了折扣。 Dan Carlin: 他认为历史并非仅仅由胜利者书写，而是由识字的人书写。许多历史记录都来自识字的群体，这可能会导致对历史的片面理解。他还指出，历史并非总是重复，也并非总是能从中吸取教训，许多被人们广泛接受的历史观点经不起推敲。 Dan Carlin: 他认为历史可以从颠覆性技术的角度来解读，观察人类社会如何应对这些技术带来的冲击。他列举了历史上一些具有颠覆性意义的技术，例如火、轮子、印刷术、工业革命和互联网，并认为人工智能技术也可能带来类似的冲击。

Dan and Rob think history is exciting! "Hardcore History" host Dan Carlin joins Rob Lowe to discuss watching history unfold in real-time, why Rob believes 1976 to 1986 was the best time to be alive, whether the United States is an empire in decline, why the presidency of JFK might be even more important than we initially thought, the evolution of television journalism, and much more.
