TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Tunguska: Tuesday 30 June 1908
At about 7:17 AM local time on Tuesday 30 June 1908—117 years ago today —an enormous explosion occurred in Siberia at Tunguska. Some people refer to the 30th of June as “Asteroid Day” as a kind of commemoration of the Tunguska incident. It is but one of many incidents that remind us we are not isolated from the rest of the universe, but are rather vulnerable to a variety of existential risks that could render us as extinct as the dinosaurs.
