Resumo Rápido

Um novo tratado filosófico intitulado "Défécondité" foi publicado pela Gallimard, escrito pelo filósofo Olivier Rey. O livro analisa as causas profundas por trás da queda acentuada nas taxas de natalidade em países desenvolvidos. Rey argumenta que os números de nascimentos caíram tanto que agora estão significativamente abaixo do nível necessário para a substituição geracional. A obra explora as razões culturais e sociais para essa perda de desejo de dar à vida. Publicado em 6 de novembro de 2025, o tratado aborda uma tendência demográfica crítica que afeta muitos países em todo o mundo. O filósofo examina por que as sociedades modernas aparentemente abandonaram o impulso fundamental de procriar, apresentando uma análise profunda desse fenômeno contemporâneo.

Nova Obra Filosófica Examina Declínio Demográfico

Olivier Rey lançou um novo tratado filosófico intitulado "Défécondité" através da editora Gallimard. A obra foi publicada em 6 de novembro de 2025 e aborda imediatamente uma das questões mais urgentes enfrentadas pelas sociedades modernas. A tese central do livro foca na queda dramática nas taxas de natalidade observada em países desenvolvidos nas últimas décadas.

O filósofo apresenta uma análise detalhada de por que os números de nascimentos atingiram níveis criticamente baixos. De acordo com a obra, a situação atual representa mais do que apenas uma tendência estatística. Rey enquadra isso como uma mudança fundamental na forma como as culturas modernas veem o ato de dar à vida. O próprio título, "Défécondité", sugere uma perda deliberada ou social de fertilidade além das restrições biológicas.

O momento dessa publicação é significativo, pois as preocupações demográficas continuam a dominar as discussões de políticas em todo o mundo desenvolvido. Muitas nações estão lidando com populações envelhecidas e forças de trabalho em diminuição. A abordagem filosófica de Rey oferece uma perspectiva diferente sobre essas tendências bem documentadas.

Taxas de Natalidade Caem Abaixo dos Níveis de Substituição

O argumento central apresentado na obra de Rey centra-se na realidade matemática das taxas de natalidade atuais. Em países desenvolvidos, o número de nascimentos caiu "muito abaixo" do necessário para a renovação geracional. Esse limite, conhecido como taxa de substituição, normalmente requer aproximadamente 2,1 filhos por mulher para manter a estabilidade populacional.

Os dados demográficos atuais mostram que muitas nações desenvolvidas ficaram bem abaixo desse nível crítico. As consequências da fertilidade sustentada abaixo da substituição são profundas e de longo alcance. Com o tempo, isso leva a populações em diminuição, forças de trabalho envelhecidas e aumento da pressão sobre os sistemas de apoio social.

A análise de Rey sugere que esse declínio não é apenas um resultado de fatores econômicos ou de políticas. Em vez disso, o filósofo aponta para mudanças culturais e psicológicas mais profundas. A obra argumenta que as sociedades mudaram fundamentalmente sua relação com o conceito de criar nova vida.

A Perda do Desejo de Dar à Vida

No coração da análise de Rey está o conceito de "perder o desejo de dar à vida". Isso vai além das estatísticas simples de fertilidade para explorar as dimensões psicológicas e culturais da reprodução. O filósofo argumenta que as sociedades modernas desenvolveram uma relutância coletiva em relação à procriação que transcende considerações práticas.

O tratado examina vários fatores que podem contribuir para esse fenômeno. Esses incluem mudanças de valores em torno da família, carreira e realização pessoal. Rey sugere que a cultura contemporânea criou um ambiente onde ter filhos é cada vez mais visto como opcional ou mesmo oneroso, em vez de essencial.

Essa perspectiva filosófica reformula o debate demográfico de preocupações puramente numéricas para questões de significado e propósito. A obra desafia os leitores a considerar que mudanças fundamentais na visão de mundo tornaram o ato de dar à vida menos necessário ou desejável em contextos modernos.

Implicações para Nações Desenvolvidas

A publicação do tratado de Rey ocorre em um momento crítico para muitas nações desenvolvidas. Países na Europa, Ásia Oriental e América do Norte estão enfrentando desafios demográficos sem precedentes. As taxas de natalidade continuamente baixas ameaçam a estabilidade econômica, os sistemas de segurança social e a vitalidade nacional a longo prazo.

O exame filosófico de Rey fornece uma estrutura para entender esses desafios além das discussões de políticas convencionais. Ao focar nas dimensões culturais e psicológicas da fertilidade, a obra sugere que as soluções podem exigir mais do que incentivos econômicos ou políticas familiares.

O lançamento do livro através da Gallimard garante que ele alcançará um público amplo interessado em tendências sociais e perspectivas filosóficas sobre questões contemporâneas. À medida que governos e instituições continuam a lidar com o declínio demográfico, obras filosóficas como esta oferecem um contexto valioso para entender as correntes mais profundas que moldam as tendências populacionais.

Dnit declara emergência em trecho da BR-364 após erosão e afundamento de pista no Acre

Trecho da BR-364 em Cruzeiro do Sul sofreu erosão em dezembro do ano passado Carla Carvalho/Rede Amazônica O Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (Dnit) declarou situação de emergência em um trecho da BR-364, no Acre, devido ao grave estado de degradação da rodovia no km 722, em Cruzeiro do Sul, no interior do Acre. A medida consta na Portaria nº 120, de 9 de janeiro de 2026, publicada no Diário Oficial da União (DOU) nesta terça-feira (13). ✅ Participe do canal do g1 AC no WhatsApp De acordo com o documento, o trecho apresenta processos erosivos profundos que comprometem a plataforma e os taludes da rodovia, além de afundamento com ruptura do pavimento. O problema, ainda segundo o Dnit, foi provocado pela saturação do subleito após o aumento do volume de água do Igarapé Santa Luzia, em decorrência das fortes chuvas registradas nos dias 27 e 28 de dezembro de 2025. DNIT inicia recuperação da BR-364 próximo da comunidade Santa Luzia, em Cruzeiro do Sul O trecho abrangido pela medida inclui segmentos das rodovias BR-364 e BR-307, entre eles a ligação entre o interior do Acre e a divisa com o Amazonas e o Peru. No caso específico da BR-364, o segmento afetado vai do km 682,9 ao km 752,5, com destaque para o ponto crítico no km 722.

I thought I'd planned my first solo trip perfectly. After just 3 nights, I was desperate to go home.
Lifestyle

I thought I'd planned my first solo trip perfectly. After just 3 nights, I was desperate to go home.

I went on my first solo trip and realized that I prefer traveling with friends. Sean Abrams In the summer of 2022, I went to London for my first solo trip to see my favorite artist perform. The concert was amazing, and I enjoyed my itinerary, but I wasn't prepared for how lonely I'd feel. I know now that traveling alone isn't for me, and that's OK — I much prefer to go with friends. The idea of solo traveling always seemed like a bit of a nightmare to me. Although I'm independent, I'm not naturally social with strangers, and I don't enjoy going on adventures by myself. It's not the planning that throws me off, but rather the ability to feel OK in the in-between moments when there's no one to talk to or share the day with. But I pushed past all of that when I realized taking a solo trip (abroad, no less) would give me the opportunity to see my favorite artist, UK girl group Little Mix, perform live — something I never thought I'd do. Other than opening for artists like Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande, they never really toured in the US, and seeing them always felt like a long shot unless I traveled abroad. So, a year in advance, I bought tickets to their summer 2022 performance at the O2 Arena in London, booked my flights, and created the itinerary of my dreams, complete with tickets to see a limited run of "Legally Blonde" at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and a stop at the London Zoo. If I was finally going on my first solo trip, I was going to make the most of it — and I was glad to be in an English-speaking country that seemed packed with things to do. As I boarded my flight, I was almost more excited than nervous. But by the end of the trip, I knew that even the promise of seeing my absolute favorite artist live wouldn't make me choose to travel solo again. Despite being so well-prepared, I was much lonelier than I'd anticipated I enjoyed sightseeing, but would often return to my hotel room, unsure of how else to fill my time. Sean Abrams When I arrived in London, I didn't struggle with any of the actual logistics of getting around. I live in Manhattan, so I know how to navigate a big city and read a map. However, I struggled with being alone. I'd sit down at a restaurant, order quickly, eat, and leave. When I was browsing stores, I didn't have anyone to ask for a second opinion. I started to miss the sound of my own voice. I didn't realize how much enjoyment I get from sharing moments with others. There were so many long stretches where I struggled to figure out how to fill the day, despite building my dream itinerary. More than once, I'd end up back at my hotel earlier than planned, not because I was tired but because I didn't know how to build a night for myself. I slowly realized thinking I'd thrive for seven days might've been a little presumptuous. Despite not going quite how I'd imagined, the concert was still one of the highlights of my solo trip. Sean Abrams However, the concert itself was nothing less than a religious experience. I was so happy to finally see Little Mix live, but I have to admit, I'd imagined the night going differently. I hoped I'd be surrounded by fellow gays who would take notice of me all by my lonesome, only to fold me into their group. However, I ended up being seated next to a very sweet mother and daughter, who were nice enough to take a photo of me. After the encore, I grabbed my merch and left the stadium with nowhere to go except — you guessed it — my hotel room. The next morning, it hit me that I still had three days left. I looked up flights home, but changing them was way too expensive. That's when the tears started flowing. I cried because I was lonely, but also because I was embarrassed to be feeling this way in such a magical city. I don't regret a thing, though I returned to London with friends two years later and had an amazing time. Sean Abrams Things got a bit better once I stopped waiting for my entire personality to magically change during the course of the trip. At the end of the day, I knew I was never going to walk into a bar and make instant friends, no matter how much I craved that outcome. The lesson from this wasn't "solo travel is bad." It was that, at least for me, traveling solo doesn't bring out the version of myself I like most. I'm adventurous and willing to face the uncomfortable, but I'm also someone who feels grounded when surrounded by familiar people. Both can be true. The clearest proof of this came in July 2024, when I returned to London with friends. I arrived in the city two days early for a little bit of solo time — something I actually looked forward to, knowing what the rest of the vacation had in store — and it felt like a full-circle moment. Once my friends arrived, the city opened up. We went to my favorite Indian restaurant, giggled through a production of "Magic Mike Live," and watched football at the pub over pints like locals. By the end, I was genuinely sad to leave. I don't regret going to London the first time. With a little self-reflection, I realized it taught me that I don't need to love solo travel to earn a badge of bravery. I can push myself in other ways and still travel in a way that suits me. I'll still explore new places — I'll probably just bring a friend along for the ride. Read the original article on Business Insider

I started drinking at 14, and it became a dangerous habit for more than 55 years. I'm finally sober at 70.

From left: Barbara Face pictured as a teenager when she first started drinking, at the height of her alcoholism, and sober, as she is today. Courtesy of Barbara Face Barbara Face began drinking at 14 when a boy secretly brought beer to a church treat she attended. The habit continued during her life as she increasingly used alcohol to relax and escape reality. She got sober more than a year ago with help from an app that guided her through the process. This story is based on a conversation with Barbara Face, 70, a former training manager from Phoenix. It has been edited for length and clarity. I'll never forget the first time I drank alcohol to excess. I'd had the occasional, tiny taste of it when my parents had it with a meal, but this experience was different. We were at a church retreat, and a boy had sneaked in a six-pack of beer. He stashed it in a pile of snow to keep it cold, and we opened the bottles with glee. After a while, I started to feel happy. However, it was accompanied by a sense of numbness. Things were tough at home, and I forgot about my problems for a while. Drinking made me feel better My friend and I started drinking sweet, fortified wine. We had to rely on older kids to buy it from stores, who mostly used fake IDs. I couldn't help notice that my high school friends drank less than I did. They wanted to have fun, but it was more than just a joyride for me. I just wanted to feel better. Face as a teenager, around the time she started drinking. Courtesy of Barbara Face On my 18th birthday, a friend drove me over the border to Wisconsin, where the legal drinking age was 18, compared to 21 in our native Minnesota. It was thrilling to be in a bar. My parents didn't want me to go down the college route. They thought it was wrong for a girl to do so. It damaged my self-esteem, and my outlet continued to be drinking. Still, I'd describe myself more as a social drinker in my late teens and early 20s. I got married at 19, but divorced five years later. The break-up hit me hard. It was painful to be so hungover I ran with a fast crowd, and weekends were about drinking. One night, in my early 30s, I filled a flask with vodka. I was swigging it while dancing. I don't remember driving home, but I crashed my car into a barrier. Somebody came by and took me home, and my friends helped me pick up my car the following day. I was so hungover, it was painful. The fact that I'd blacked out scared me to death. Face said she looked bloated before she quit drinking Courtesy of Barbara Face A therapist referred me to a 30-day treatment center where I dried out. The clinicians were so worried about me, they would only release me to a women's halfway house. I joined AA and became a sober person for a few years. Then my mental health deteriorated again. I went back to my old ways and drank up to two bottles of vodka every weekend. Then, after being accepted into a Master's program at Ohio State University, I began to drink hard liquor every night alone after school. I had terrible hangovers and felt ashamed and guilty. I wrecked my car on the way to a casino I moved to Birmingham, Alabama, after taking a job in a call center. The hangovers made me angry and resentful. It was always someone else's fault, not mine, and I was reported by a supervisor for erratic behavior and swearing. Somehow, I managed to hold onto my job and move with the company to Phoenix in my 40s. I was drunk and headed to a casino, when I totaled my car. Face began with drinking beer before graduating to hard liquor and wine. Courtesy of Barbara Face Fortunately for me, it was on a Native American reservation, and the police officer who attended didn't have the jurisdiction to breathalyze me. I refused, and it got me out of a DUI. Two decades went by. There were days when I didn't want to wake up in the morning. My blood pressure was very high "I'll have a small glass of wine at 3 p.m.," I'd tell myself. Then it would be 2 p.m. I drank one or two bottles of wine a day. My dinner was inevitably liquid. It wasn't the taste I was after; it was the emotional release. The wake-up call came in September 2024 after an annual check-up at the doctor's office. My bloodwork results were dangerous. My blood pressure was very high, and I was also verging on pre-diabetes. Face at her 70th birthday party which she celebrated without alcohol. Courtesy of Barbara Face The doctor asked about my blood sugar levels and whether I liked sweet things. She asked about my drinking, and I lied about the amount because I was ashamed. I said it was about two glasses of wine a day. "You should try to cut back," she said. It was around that time that I received a marketing email from an app that offers advice on both reducing and eliminating alcohol intake. I downloaded the app and read how much my brain was being affected by the effects of alcohol, particularly at my age. I attend online groups I started to reduce my drinking by 10%, and then more. I'd measure out my glass of wine, which I'd sip during my evening meal. There were podcasts and readings about how much a woman should be drinking at my age. Then I joined some of the online groups, which were non-judgmental and supportive. Face, pictured with her dog, Lumi, enjoying a sober lifestyle on a hike. Courtesy of Barbara Face Cutting back lifted my depression a bit. I started to sleep better after years of insomnia. The endless cycle of negative thoughts slowed down. Next, I began weaning myself off altogether. The first day I was able to go without alcohol was super exciting for me. It was a huge accomplishment. I was concerned about my 70th birthday party One day without drinking turned into two, then three, then a week. I'd never been proud of myself, but I was on top of the world when I had my last-ever drink on December 9, 2024. I had anxiety ahead of my 70th birthday party in late January 2025. "How will I be able to celebrate without Champagne?" I thought to myself. I managed fine. Face said she is proud of herself for stopping drinking. Courtesy of Barbara Face Then, my sister-in-law and I went on a cruise along the River Danube. Everybody was drinking, but I stuck to my cranberry juice and tonic water. It felt good to travel without being hungover. I had my bloodwork redone last April, and there was a marked improvement. I was no longer at risk of being pre-diabetic. My blood pressure had lowered. In the meantime, I look and feel a whole lot better. My face no longer looks bloated. I've started doing yoga and feel a lot more fit. People ask me if I'm worried that I might go back to drinking. What's stopping me is the thought of a healthy future. As I approach 71, I'm in the last stages of my life, but I still find it worthwhile to be alcohol free.
