Biólogo Alerta: A Espécie Humana Já Começou a Desaparecer - Alberto Lindner

The world's population has already peaked and begun to decline. Not because of war, not because of climate: half of the decline in birth rates over the last 20 years is being attributed to one thing only, the smartphone. In this episode about the global demographic crisis, biologist Alberto Lindner explains why population decline is the greatest challenge in human history and what population aging has to do with your retirement, your housing, and your life. Starting with recent data on the decline in birth and fertility rates, the conversation ranges from the agricultural revolution to today's 8 billion, touches on the pill, the smartphone, and AI-powered dating, and arrives at scientific projections about the future of humanity: why China will lose half its population by 2100, how population collapse changes housing, the middle class, and retirement, and what can still be done on an individual and national level. Alberto Lindner is a biologist with a degree from USP, a PhD from Duke University, and a professor of Biology and Oceanography at UFSC. #NoNonsense #DemographicCrisis #biology ADVERTISEMENT: [email protected]   / fermentotv     / semgroselhapdc     / betolindner   Chapters: 00:00 Will the human species end? 02:41 How we reached 8 billion people 08:49 The bathtub metaphor: why the population exploded 10:41 The pill and the first drop in the birth rate 19:25 The two studies that blame the smartphone 21:08 AI dating and the digital dystopia 25:47 China will lose half its population 27:37 The three solutions to the crisis 36:12 Productivity, education and the demographic bonus 40:58 Brazil wasted its chance 51:34 Dropout rates in universities and the pessimism of generations 59:31 When Beto realized his own addiction 01:12:50 Extinction in 300 years? 01:17:24 The end of the middle class 01:24:26 What you can do starting today
