Lulu Miller认为名字具有塑造人生的力量,可以潜移默化地影响个人的发展道路。她以消防员Les McBurney为例,探讨名字与职业选择之间的潜在关联,尽管Les McBurney本人对此并不认同。 Siddhartha Mukherjee和Carolyn McCusker讨论了疾病命名的重要性,指出不恰当的命名可能会阻碍对疾病的理解和治疗。他们以19世纪两种疾病的命名为例,说明了不同命名方式对医学发展的影响。 Alexa Rose Miller致力于鼓励医生在诊断疾病时避免急于下结论,而应保持不确定性,多收集信息,提高诊断准确性。 Ira Lynn McBride和Luke D'Azio的故事讲述了学校礼堂更名背后的故事,反映了社会对历史遗留问题的反思和处理。他们通过调查和纪录片,揭示了学校名称对学生心理的影响,并最终促使学校更名。 Player McFall作为学校董事会成员,讲述了礼堂命名背后的历史背景,解释了命名决策中存在的盲点和历史局限性。 Tom Durkin作为一名资深赛马解说员,分享了他多年来遇到的各种奇特的赛马名字,并探讨了这些名字背后的文化和社会因素。 Caleb Sexton和Anuj Verma的故事讲述了在社交媒体平台上拥有与自己名字相同的用户名所带来的困扰和挑战,以及他们对名字的独特情感和意义。 Molly Webster和Mary Szybist探讨了“endling”(物种的最后一个个体)这个词的起源和意义,以及它引发人们对生命终结、孤独和传承的思考。Mary Szybist对“endling”一词的使用表达了谨慎态度,认为它可能过于强调了生命终结的孤独感,而忽略了生命存在的其他意义。

Shownotes Transcript

As a species, we’re obsessed with names. They’re one of the first labels we get as kids. We name and rename absolutely everything around us. And these names carry our histories, they can open and close our eyes to the world around us, and they drag the weight of expectation and even irony along with them. This week on Radiolab, we’ve got six stories all about names. Horse names, the names of diseases, names for the beginning, and names for the end. Listen to “Hello, My Name Is” on Radiolab, wherever you find podcasts.
