Up next, Psychologist debunks 8 myths of mass scale ►   • Psychologist debunks 8 myths of mass ...   A widespread concern with overpopulation became prominent in the 1960s and the 1970s, when scholars wondered how we could produce enough food for a rapidly growing global population. Brought to the fore with the publication of the book, "The Population Bomb," by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968, it seemed that the only way to solve this problem was to discourage people from having more children. This concern hinged on the assumption that the world population would continue to grow exponentially, but it hasn't. While the global population is still growing, in fact it's growing at a much slower rate, as global population growth rates peaked decades ago and have halved since then. So is this concern completely unfounded? What can future population projections tell us?

Paul R Ehrlich is the Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies at Stanford University. In 1968 he published The Population Bomb, co-authored with his wife Anne Ehrlich. In it were predicted, among other catastrophes, famines in the 1970s which would kill hundreds of millions. The cause? Human overpopulation. The optimal solution? A trans-national governing body which would regulate the fertility rates of humans the world over.In 2009, when asked about The Population Bomb's success in predicting the future, Ehrlich replied that its only problem was in being too optimistic. I should note that the predicted global famines never took place.VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's website: www.jackbc.meLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi

Kathleen Mogelgaard is President and CEO of the Population Institute, where she directs the organization's advocacy and public education activities.  Population Institute advocates for gender equality and universal access to sexual and reproductive health services to improve lives, promote human rights, save the planet, and build a better tomorrow. In 2022, the world's population surpassed 8 billion people, and according to demographers at the United Nations, global population may add another 2.4 billion before leveling off toward the end of this century. The Population Bomb, a 1968 book co-authored by Paul R. Ehrlich, predicted worldwide famines due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. A counterpart organization with the Population Institute is the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the global sexual and reproductive health agency that strives for a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

In 1968, Stanford ecologist Paul R. Ehrlich, published The Population Bomb, arguing that rapid growth in human numbers would result in environmental catastrophe and widespread famine. Overall the dire predictions of The Population Bomb did not come to pass, with the Green Revolution staving off the specter of mass starvation. With eight billion people today, the world population has doubled since 1970, and global TFR (totality fertility rate) is now 2.4, down from 4.5 in 1970. When it comes to our planet's most populous nations, as of 2019, China and the U.S. had sub-replacement fertility levels at 1.69 and 1.71 respectively, while India hovered near the replacement rate at 2.2, and Indonesia slightly surpassed it with a TFR of 2.32. A 2020 Lancet study projected that the global population could peak in 2064 at around 9.7 billion, then declining to about 8.8 billion by the end of the century, largely due to decreasing fertility rates. On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Lillian Tara, executive director of Pronatalist.org, an organization devoted to reversing the trend toward sub-replacement fertility worldwide as nations develop. Tara is notable as the youngest guest on Unsupervised Learning, born after 9/11, she is focused on the future with an awareness of the past. A recent graduate of the University of Virginia in politics and policy, set to matriculate  at Harvard University in the fall of 2023 for her master's, Tara believes that humans are a vital resource and that a future with ever-dwindling populations is a future of ever-dwindling possibilities. Following in the path of Julian Simon, an economist who was Ehrlich's great nemesis in the 1970's and 1980's, Tara outlines the anti-Malthusian economic case that far from capsizing "lifeboat earth," innovation and technology will lift all boats over time. Though Pronatalist.org promotes a change in the culture when it comes to expectations about reproduction, Tara is also an enthusiast of cutting-edge next-generation reproductive technology, from surrogacy to in vitro fertilization. She is particularly focused on how to incentivize high-status individuals to have more children. Tarra believes that cultural leaders and influencers set the norms for society as a whole and that it is critical to make having larger families cool and an aspiration, rather than the practices of marginal religious sects.

Das Thema „Bevölkerungsreduktion“ und seine vielen Facetten stünden dringend auf der politischen Agenda — doch die Medien schweigen.Ein Standpunkt von Milosz Matuschek.„Wir können es uns nicht leisten, lediglich die Krebssymptome des Bevölkerungswachstums zu behandeln; wir müssen den Krebs selbst beseitigen“ (Paul R. Ehrlich, Stanford-Biologe, „The Population Bomb“, xii).„Wir sind zu viele Menschen!“ (Ted Turner, Gründer von CNN).„Für den Fall, dass ich wiedergeboren werde, möchte ich als tödliches Virus zurückkehren, um etwas zur Lösung der Überbevölkerung beizutragen“ (Prince Philip).Im Kino der hollywoodianischen Prägung gibt es ein Genre, in dem der Außenseiter ein Held ist, nämlich im Katastrophenfilm. Ob Killerviren, Weltuntergänge oder Alieninvasionen: Stets darf hier ein Einzelner die Menschheit retten und bekommt am Ende Recht mit seiner Prophezeiung. In der Realität ist es gänzlich anders herum. Kassandra ist eine Ruferin in der Wüste, erst verschmäht, später ignoriert.Kassandra: ein menschliches DilemmaEs ist bezeichnend für unsere Zeit, dass die Warnung vor Katastrophen in der fiktionalen Welt auf offene Ohren stößt, aber kaum in der realen Welt. Das hat umgekehrt fatale Folgen: Im Kino muss der Mensch Ignoranz überwinden, sonst geht der Plot nicht weiter. In der realen Welt kann die Ignoranz hingegen zum Sterbebett der Menschheit werden. Ist unter anderem dieser Mechanismus daran schuld, dass die Menschheit in Passivität und Agonie verharrt, selbst wenn sie mit Bedrohungen konfrontiert ist? So schaut der Normalbürger der Menschheit im Kino bei der eigenen Rettung zu — in der realen Welt will sich hingegen niemand lächerlich machen. Der reale Tod wird dem Ego-Tod vorgezogen. Ein tödliches Dilemma. Man geht daran zugrunde, was man nicht wahrhaben will.Bis vor Corona erschien für viele die Welt noch in Ordnung. Wer sich der Mehrheit des Mainstreams anschließt, denkt vermutlich bis heute, wir seien „gut durch die Krise gekommen“. Für andere war Corona ein Schock und Augenöffner zugleich. Hier konnte, wer wollte, live und in Farbe zusehen, wie eine „Verschwörungstheorie“ nach der anderen Wirklichkeit wurde, wie Narrative von Propaganda-Slogans zu gesellschaftlichen Glaubensbekenntnissen wurden, bevor sie wieder zu Staub zerfielen.Ob Lockdowns, angeblich nebenwirkungsfreie „Impfstoffe“ bis hin zu gebrochenen Freiheitsversprechen: Die Corona-Jahre waren eine Schrottpresse des Vertrauens in öffentliche Institutionen, die Wissenschaft und Medien. Da die Mehrheit mitmachte und sich bis heute gegen eine Aufklärung sperrt, bleibt der Eindruck, den der Kolumnist der Berliner Zeitung, Michael Andrick, auf den Punkt brachte: „War dies möglich, so ist alles möglich.“Welche „Verschwörungstheorie” ist nicht wahr geworden? Die Bevölkerungsreduktion ist eine statistische TatsacheDer französische Philosoph Michel Foucault hat in seinem Buch „Mut zur Wahrheit“ einmal die Elemente der wahrheitsfördernden Rede beschrieben. Sie lauten: Wahrheit, Engagement und Risiko. Wer für die Wahrheit eintritt, kann dies kaum ohne persönliche Anteilnahme tun, die oft mit missionarischem Eifer verwechselt wird oder in diesen kippt. Das Wahrsprechen ist auch ein persönliches Risiko, für die eigene Reputation — siehe „Querdenker“ und „Covidioten“ — und die eigene Sicherheit — siehe Julian Assange. Wer sich der Wahrheitssuche verschreibt, nimmt in Kauf, sich selbst zu schaden, ohne dass es die Öffentlichkeit einem dankt, obwohl es zu ihrem Nutzen ist......weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/wir-ueberzaehligen-von-milosz-matuschek Hosted on Acast.

A renowned scientist and environmental advocate looks back on a life that has straddled the worlds of science and politics. Acclaimed as a public scientist and as a spokesperson on pressing environmental and equity issues, Paul R. Ehrlich reflects on his life, from his love affair with his wife Anne, to his scientific research, public advocacy, and concern for global issues. Interweaving the range of his experiences—as an airplane pilot, a desegregationist, a proud parent—Ehrlich's offers valuable insights on pressing issues such as biodiversity loss, overpopulation, depletion of resources, and deterioration of the environment. A lifelong advocate for women's reproductive rights, Ehrlich also helped to debunk scientific bias associating skin color and intelligence and warned some 50 years ago about a possible pandemic and the likely ecological consequences of a nuclear war. His new book Life: A Journey Through Science and Politics, focuses on the human predicament, including problems of governance and democracy in the 21st century, and insight into the ecological and evolutionary science of our day. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding global change, our planet's wonders, and a scientific approach to the present existential threats to civilization. Paul Ehrlich is the Bing Professor of Population Studies, Emeritus, and president of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University. He has carried out field, laboratory and theoretical research on the dynamics and genetics of insect populations, the evolutionary interactions of plants and herbivores, the behavioral ecology of birds and reef fishes, the effects of crowding on human beings, human cultural evolution, and health problems related to industrialization. He is author and co-author of more than 1,100 scientific papers and articles and more than 40 books. Ehrlich is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and a Foreign Member of the Royal Society. Among his many other honors is the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Crafoord Prize. He has appeared on more than 1,000 TV and radio programs and was a correspondent for NBC News.

Ehrlich, as they discuss climate change and the dangers of population growth and the resulting environmental catastrophe.  Paul is also author of Life: A Journey Through Science and Politics, a brand new memoir. https://www.amazon.com/Life-Journey-through-Science-Politics/dp/0300264542/ref=sr_1_1?Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.x=0&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.y=0&qid=1674151599&refinements=p_27%3APAUL+EHRLICH%2Cp_28%3Alife&s=books&sr=1-1&unfiltered=1 

«I would only urge that in considering these deep issues of educability we keep our perspective broad and remember that the human race has a biological past from which we can read lessons for the culture of the present. We cannot adapt to everything, and in designing a way to the future we would do well to examine again what we are and what our limits are. Such a course does not mean opposition to change but, rather, using man's natural modes of adapting to render change both as intelligent and as stable as possible.» Jerome Bruner, 1972   “In order to decide whether we want to modify some feature of a system, it is helpful to consider why the system has that feature in the first place.” Nick Bostrom et al, 2021   “Knowing how genetic and cultural evolution over millennia shaped us helps explain today's human predicament, how hard that predicament is to deal with, and underlines how abnormal human life is in the twenty-first century. [...] We believe it is only by examining what is known of physically modern Homo sapiens' entire 300,000-year history, including the ways in which human psychology has been shaped by both genetic and cultural evolution and their interactions, that the current threats to humanity can be understood and possibly averted.” Erlich et al 2022 Hvor skal vi starte? Skal vi forbedre mennesket ytterligere, gjennom teknologiske fremskritt, eller er vi så feiljusterte at vi først må forsøke å finne tilbake til tilstander vi er mer tilpasset? Hvis mange aspekter ved det moderne liv gjør oss syke og triste, skal vi finne løsningen i teknologisk fremskritt eller i vår evolusjonære fortid?  Spørsmålet er selvsagt ikke så svart-hvitt, og vi gjør sikkert lurt i å se i begge retninger. Men vi må forsøke å se styrker og svakheter i begge perspektiver. Spoiler: Vi har en følelse av at det evolusjonære perspektivet er undervurdert og ofte misforstått. Vi finner ingen svar om vi bare spør «hva er naturlig?», men vi har mye å hente i å forstå hva slags miljøer og situasjoner vi har utviklet oss i.  I episoden diskuterer vi hovedsakelig to artikler, Nick Bostrom, Anders Sandberg og Matthew van der Merwes «The Ecolutionary Optimality Challenge» og Paul og Anne Erlichs «Returning to “Normal”? Evolutionary Roots of the Human Prospect», som begge to diskuterer filosofiske og biologiske aspekter ved disse spørsmålene.   Kilder: Berg, Bolsø og Hellstrand, “Posthumanistiske muligheter og transhumanistiske blindspor i det antropocene”, Tidsskrift for kjønnsforskning, årgang 44, nr. 4-2020, s. 285–298 Nick Bostrom, Anders Sandberg, and Matthew van der Merwe, (2021), “The Evolutionary Optimality Challenge”, in Handbook of Bioethical Decisions, eds.

A reprise of Paul Ehrlich's candid conversation with us on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, in April of 2020. We discuss the COVID pandemic, overpopulation, The Population Bomb (including an amusing mistake on the cover), dinner with Johnny Carson, the deficits of our university system, the climate crisis, and human civilization's prospects (“I'm very pessimistic about the future but very optimistic about what we could do”). Dr. Paul Ehrlich is most famous for co-writing The Population Bomb (1968). He is Bing Professor of Population Studies, Emeritus at Stanford University, and founded the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford.

Emerging science shows a strong connection between our brains and our gut, or the gut-brain axis. While you might think that these two organs have very different structures and functions, they actually have more in common than you'd think. The gut and the brain are connected by the vagus nerve and neurotransmitters, and our gut microbes can even communicate with our brains.  When it comes to brain function and the science behind the gut-brain connection, Dr. Andrew Huberman is one of the world's foremost experts. Dr. Huberman is a highly-regarded neuroscientist and tenured professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is the director of Huberman Lab at Stanford, and the host of the Huberman Lab Podcast.  In part two of this interview series, Dr. Huberman is sharing his expertise on the numerous benefits that fasting can have on the brain and the neurobiology behind overeating, hyper-palatable foods, and obesity. You're also going to learn about the gut-brain axis, the glymphatic system, and the role that stress plays in the brain, and so much more. Enjoy!  In this episode you'll discover: The many benefits of time-restricted feeding.  How fasting can create harmony in your brain's reward pathways.

The impact of our growing population on nature is such a sensitive topic that nobody really dares talk about it. Better sweep it under the carpet and forget about it, right? Well, not necessarily. If you think it through, the solution is really simple and beautiful: give women full rights, opportunities and access to family-planning methods. In this interview with Paul R. Ehrlich, the Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies at Stanford University, we talk about: What is a sustainable population and how to achieve it Why women play a key role in creating a sustainable planet How we can empower women and why women still don't have equal rights Why our Stone Age genes make it hard to address global issues and why we need to change culturally Why we need 8 billion Greta Thunbergs and everyone to spend 10% of their time helping out society What is Paul's vision of 2050 How hot soap operas can help us talk about overpopulation, and more. Paul Ralph Ehrlich (*1932) is an American biologist, best known for his warnings that population growth presents an extremely serious threat to the future of human civilization. The Population Bomb, a book that he co-authored with his wife, Anne, helped start a worldwide debate on the impact of rising population that continues today. Author of 50 books and thousands of articles, Ehrlich is the Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies at Stanford University, President of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology and also president of the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere.

1968年美國斯坦佛大學生物學家Paul R. Ehrlich 寫了轟動一時的書《人口炸彈》The Population Bomb，對不久的將來地球“人口爆炸“危機向人類發出嚴重警告。書中明確指出，地球的資源已經無法養育不斷增加的人口，“到2020年，英國將不復存在！”我們現在的問題是：人類是如何從幾十年前對“人口爆炸”的擔憂變成了現在的“人口危機”的憂慮呢？更多詳細文字和圖片内容請進入《今日話題》Facebook 臉書專頁：https://www.facebook.com/1300todaystopic/

#Overpopulation #ClimateChange #ThePopulationBomb — Paul R. Ehrlich is an American biologist known for his warnings about the consequences of population growth and limited resources. He is the Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies of the Department of Biology of Stanford University, the President of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology, and the President of the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere. Ehrlich became well known for his 1968 book The Population Bomb, which warned of the perils of overpopulation: mass starvation, societal upheaval, and environmental deterioration. At the time, the book was criticized for painting an overly dark picture of the future. Ehrlich has acknowledged that some of what he predicted has not occurred, but maintains that his predictions about disease and climate change were essentially correct and that human overpopulation is a major problem. The global population has more than DOUBLED since Ehrlich published his book in 1968. As climate change becomes an increasingly more serious threat, should we make efforts to curb the growth of our global population? Or is distribution of resources the real issue at hand? Tune in to find out, and be prepared with questions for our Q&A segment! —

The Population Bomb (Ballantine Books) is a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich (who was uncredited), in 1968. It predicted worldwide famine in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. Fears of a "population explosion" existed in the 1950s and 1960s, but the book and its author brought the idea to an even wider audience. The book has been criticized since its publication for its alarmist tone, but the Ehrlichs stand by the book despite its flaws stating in 2009 that "perhaps the most serious flaw in The Bomb was that it was much too optimistic about the future" and believe that it achieved their goals because "it alerted people to the importance of environmental issues and brought human numbers into the debate on the human future." See mahb.stanford.edu Van Carter is a retired broadcast newsman. "I've never been a genre reporter until now, but the Climate Crisis deserves everyone's full attention."  Since 2008, he has published the Only Green list.

Matthew Ehret , The World Set Free, The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Morrow, and The Time Machine, Wells’ lesser-known non-fiction writings like The Open Conspiracy, The New World Order, The Outline of History, The Science of Life and The World Brain served as guiding strategic blueprints for the entire 20th century war against sovereign nation states and the very idea of a society built on the premise of mankind made in the image of God. (continue reading) Show highlights: What are the roots of the Great Reset? Matthew Ehret is a journalist, lecturer, and the founder of The Canadian Review. He details the historical precedents of today’s global agenda. British science fiction author H.G. Wells was a part of something very nasty. The British Empire’s idea was to polarize the entire world — to divide and conquer any independent competition. H.G. Wells worked closely with British eugenicists Julian Huxley and Leonard Huxley. The British Empire’s Round Table Movement was an important tool of Anglo-Saxon globalism. Phase 2 of World War I was World War 2 — global division for the profiting of corporations and banking institutions. The British Empire worked for the spreading of pessimism. Matthew Ehret explains why pessimistic movies like Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes are a product of deliberate global divide-and-conquer pessimism. Most science fiction movies are dystopian and pessimistic. Matthew Ehret explains why. He compares dystopian science fiction to that to Jules Verne, who was happy with technology as long as it included morality. There’s 21st Century hope for Jules Verne science fiction with optimistic movies like The Martian, starring Matt Damon, a film strongly emphasizing survival and innovation. Almost everything the oligarchs/globalists wanted to achieve has been easier than they thought. The worst hit for the oligarchs was the election of Donald Trump. He was not one of “The Boys.” Patrick and Matthew discuss screenwriting and Hollywood. What does the greening of the economy have do with globalism? What part has the vaccine played in the Great Reset? Was COVID a distraction for something that was going to happen anyway? Was the pandemic a cover-up for the current financial situation? What was Marshall McLuhan’s contribution to scientific optimism? Is social media “good” or “bad”? The oligarchy underestimates the fact that people do have minds. Patrick asks about Patrick Byrne. Matthew Ehret celebrates the work of Alma Deutscher, who composed her first piano sonata at age five and wrote her first full-length opera at ten. Questions for Matthew Ehret … Can you explain the Great Reset? Will the Great Reset continue if Donald Trump remains in office? How important was Maurice Strong to the Great Reset? Was Julian Simon’s The Resourceful Earth the antidote to Paul R. Ehrlich’s population pessimism? Patrick asks about Julian Assange. Matthew Ehret thinks the best thing Donald Trump can do is pardon both Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. It would even win him the support of people who hate him. Patrick concludes the show by playing a composition of the child prodigy, Alma Deutscher.

Den grøne revolusjonen har også blitt kalla for den tredje jordbruksrevolusjonen – den fyrste var byrjinga av jordbruket for 100 00år sidan, den andre var utviklinga av jordbruket i Storbritannia på 1700- og 1800-talet som effektiviserte det. Den tredje jordbruksrevolusjonen, også kalla den grøne revolusjonen, er namnet på moderniseringa av jordbruket i den fattigare delen av verda på 1950- og 60-talet. Til skilnad frå dei to førre jordbruksrevolusjonane, var ikkje denne avhengig av ny teknologi. I staden handla det om å spreie moderne jordbruksmetodar frå den rikare til den fattigare delen av verda. Den grøne revolusjonen var enormt viktig i å hindra svoltkatastrofar i den fattige delen av verda ettersom folkeveksten i denne staden av verda skaut fart. Før me går djupare inn i den grøne revolusjonen, er det viktig at me blir kjende med ein brite kalla Malthus. Brite vil seie ein person frå Storbritannia. Malthus var ein engelsk økonom som levde frå 1766 til 1834. Han levde altså akkurat i byrjinga av den industrielle revolusjonen i Storbritannia. Det mest kjende verket hans er utan tvil boka hans «An Essay on the Principle of Population» frå 1798. Boka var frykteleg pessimistisk om den økonomsike veksten til Storbritannia i perioden. Han sa at ein auke i matproduksjonen kom til å forbetra levekåra, korleis folk levde, på kort sikt. Likevel ville matauke, i følgje Malthus, føra til folkeauke. Ettersom det blei fleire og fleire folk, ville levevilkåra bli dårlegare igjen. Dette blei kalla for Mathusfella. Malthus meinte også at folkeauka ville auka raskare enn auka i matproduksjonen. Ettersom det blei fleire og fleire folk på mindre og mindre mat, ville ein til slutt få ei eller fleire kriser som sjukdom, krig og svolt som ville tvinga folketalet tilbake igjen. Den engelske økonomen hadde altså ikkje eit veldig optimistisk syn på folkeauke. Malthus si krise kom eigentleg aldri til England. Ettersom samfunnet blei industrialisert, auka matproduksjonen faktisk raskare enn folkeauka. Kanskje hadde den industrielle revolusjonen endra spelereglane? Likevel var det mange som var redde for den store folkeauka då me i 1960 nådde tre milliardar folk på jorda. I 1927 hadde verdas befolkning vore to milliardar. Det tyder at på berre 33år hadde folketalet auka med ein milliard. Og det mest skremmande var at folkeauka var på sitt høgast i akkurat denne perioden. Raskast var veksten i den fattigaste delen av verda. Mange var redde for at ein kom til å få ei Malthusisk krise ettersom dei fattigaste landa ikkje produserte nok mat til det aukande folketalet i landet. Kva ville skje dersom folkeauka berre auka endå meir? Kor mange ville det leva på jorda om 50år? For mange verka det som om ein katastrofe var uunngåeleg. Paul R. Ehrlich, professor ved Stanford University, skreiv boka «The Population Bomb» i 1968 som spådde ei verdskrise på 1970- og 80-talet. Han trudde at ein ville få svoltkatastrofar rundt omkring i verda på grunn av overbefolkning. Boka fekk stor merksemd i si tid, og mange var redde for kva som kunne kome til å skje. Folketalet auka, det blei mindre og mindre mat – kva kunne ein gjera? Krisa som Ehrlich spådde kom derimot aldri. Folketalet er i dag over 7 milliardar utan at me har fått ei svoltkrise i heile verda. Mykje av svaret på kvifor er den grøne revolusjonen som skjedde omtrent på same tid som Ehrlich skreiv boka si.

Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. Huberman provides us with some incredible tools to deal with the current stress, anxiety and fear we might be experiencing. His lab, The Huberman lab, is focused on brain function, development and repair with an emphasis on regeneration to prevent and cure blindness. They also study the neural circuits that control visual fear and are developing tools to re-map these circuits and treat anxiety disorders. This guy even dove with great white sharks in the name of fear research! That’s dedication. Dr. Huberman has made numerous—and award-winning– contributions to the fields of brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair. And he does an excellent job of making neuroscience more accessible to a wider audience. He’s a great teacher. In today’s episode we explore: The difference between fear, anxiety and stress Various calming techniques The importance of viewing light during the day and limiting light at night Ways to improve your sleep Why it’s actually a good time for neuroplasticity right now The neuroscience of gratitude And much much more!   RESOURCES FROM EPISODE: www.Hubermanlab.com Andrew Huberman Instagram @hubermanlab Yoga Nidra Madefor – Monthly Habit-Changing Kits BOOK: Jaws by Sandra Kahn and Paul R.

Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich reflects on more than 50 years of effort to educate the public about the unsustainability of endless economic and population growth. In this special Earth Day 50th Anniversary episode, Ehrlich discusses the challenges of getting a good university education, his work with butterflies, and a few of his over 40 books, including The Population Bomb (he shares a 50-year-old secret about a mistake on the front cover). Plus: Dinner with Johnny Carson, butterfly graffiti, and why the climate crisis has never captured our full attention like the COVID-19 pandemic has.

Everybody knows that the global population is out of control. And everybody is wrong, our guest argues. In fact, Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson contend that the UN model predicting 11.2B people by the end of the century is deeply flawed. According to their research, the human population is likely to reach only 8.5B by midcentury and then begin to decline.   Darrell Bricker is the coauthor of Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline, a book exploring how a shrinking population might reshape the social, political, environmental and economic landscape.  On this episode of the Reversing Climate Change, Darrell joins Alexsandra and Ross to discuss how his understanding of population trends differs from conventional wisdom and explain why the UN numbers around global fertility rates are wrong.     Darrell shares the reasons why women are making the decision to have fewer children, exploring the impact urbanization, education, healthcare delivery and even access to telenovelas (yes, Spanish-language soap operas!) have had on birthrate. He also discusses the potential consequences of global population decline, including its effect on the natural environment and what it means for our current economic model. Listen in for Darrell’s insight on why government policies to promote childbirth don’t seem to work and learn what to consider in making your own decision to have children—or not.   Key Takeaways   [0:39] How Darrell’s understanding of population trends differs from conventional wisdom UN estimates suggest global population out of control (11.2B by end of century) More credible numbers = 8.5B by mid-century with decline after 2050   [2:56] Why the UN numbers are wrong # of children born declining more rapidly than model suggests Below UN natural state of 2.1 in many countries   [4:27] Why women are making the decision to have fewer children Growing urbanization (free labor vs. mouths to feed) Women exposed to other choices, e.g.: work, education   [6:08] The general pros and cons of a declining birthrate Less resource depletion Challenges economic model (consumerism drives growth)   [8:29] Wolfgang Lutz’s work around the decline in population Education of women leads to lower fertility rates More control over bodies, choose to have fewer children   [12:18] The impact of telenovelas on the birthrate in Brazil TV in favelas exposed women to strong female characters Women decide to stop having children sooner   [14:29] Other factors that influenced the birthrate in Brazil Massive urbanization Delivery of healthcare (availability of sterilization)   [16:45] The main criticism of Empty Planet Suggest open border to offset lack of fertility Accused of advocating political philosophy   [18:17] The generational conflicts associated with population decline  Forced to rethink what we mean by retirement and work Consider way develop/distribute wealth (cities vs. rural areas)   [22:28] The potential consequences of global population decline Positive improvement in natural environment Energy poverty in some countries Rethink capitalism, global security   [24:35] Darrell’s insight on making the decision to have children Effect on overall climate very minimal (virtually nothing) Population continues to grow because people live longer Don’t get wrapped up in externalities, look at own family   [32:26] How having children later in life impacts fertility rates Boomers had first kid in early 20’s, millennials at 33 Start family later in life = less time and fewer kids   [38:07] Government policies to promote childbirth Make it easier to take time off work, make work flexible Reduce financial penalty (e.g.: Hungary income tax)   [41:18] The complex decision women are facing all over the world Empower selves through education, less time to consider having family Financial considerations around becoming single parent vs. flying solo   Connect with Alexsandra & Ross   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson 2019 UN World Population Prospects Wolfgang Lutz on the ‘Education Effect’ Brazil’s Fertility Decline The Population Bomb by Paul R.

In their 1968 book The Population Bomb, Paul and Anne Ehrlich warned of the dangers of overpopulation. These included mass starvation, societal upheaval and environmental ruin. This and other dire predictions about humankind earned Ehrlich a reputation as a prophet of doom, and fifty years later he doesn’t see much in the way of improvement. Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker, on the other hand, prefers to look on the bright side: people are living longer, extreme poverty has been decreasing globally, worldwide literacy is on the rise. Is the glass half empty, or half full? Guests: Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University; author, “Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress” (Penguin, 2018) Paul R.

About Jaws the story of a hidden epidemicThere's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? This is a public episode.

In 1968, the best-seller “The Population Bomb,” written by Paul and Anne Ehrlich (but credited solely to Paul) warned of the perils of overpopulation: mass starvation, societal upheaval, environmental deterioration. The book was criticized at the time for painting an overly dark picture of the future. But while not all of the Ehrlich’s dire predictions have come to pass, the world’s population has doubled since then, to over seven billion, straining the planet’s resources and heating up our climate. Can the earth continue to support an ever-increasing number of humans? On its 50th anniversary, we revisit “The Population Bomb” with Paul Ehrlich. Guest: Paul R. Ehrlich, President, Center for Conservation Biology, Bing Professor of Population Studies, Stanford University; co-author, “The Population Bomb” (Ballantine, 1968) This program was recorded at Stanford University.
