Jonathan HaidtEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers talks with social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt about the global momentum toward banning under-16s from social media, exploring the tension between protecting children from addictive platforms and safeguarding free speech from state censorship, while outlining how device-based age checks offer a viable solution where traditional parental controls fail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Humans aren't just social — we're ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids’ lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The Anxious Generation,” he's more concerned (and hopeful) than ever before.

Im ZEIT-Podcast Nur eine Frage stellt ZEIT-Chefredakteur Jochen Wegner einfache, aber grundlegende Fragen, die viele von uns umtreiben, auf die eine klare Antwort jedoch schwer zu finden ist. Wir befragen die bestmögliche Expertin, den bestmöglichen Experten, den wir für das jeweilige Thema finden können. In dieser Folge von Nur eine Frage stellen wir dem Sozialpsychologen Jonathan Haidt die Frage: »Sind unsere Kinder glücklicher ohne soziale Medien?« Jonathan Haidt, 62, ist ein US-amerikanischer Sozialpsychologe und Professor an der renommierten NYU Stern School of Business. Sein 2024 erschienenes Buch Generation Angst über die Schäden, die Smartphones und soziale Medien bei Kindern anrichten, stand mehr als 100 Wochen auf der Bestsellerliste der New York Times . 2026 ist sein Kinderratgeber Generation Glücklich erschienen, den er gemeinsam mit der US-Autorin Catherine Price verfasst hat. Mehrere Länder haben damit begonnen, Smartphones aus dem Unterricht zu verbannen und ein Social-Media-Verbot für Jugendliche zu erlassen. Maßgeblich dafür verantwortlich sein dürfte Haidt, der seit Jahren vor den Gefahren von Smartphones und sozialen Medien warnt und zu eben jenen Maßnahmen rät. Im Podcast begründet er, warum er soziale Medien für so gefährlich für Jugendliche und Kinder hält: Auf Plattformen wie Snapchat oder Instagram sind Jugendliche Sextortion ausgesetzt, also sexueller Erpressung. Alleine Snapchat berichte von rund 10.000 Hinweisen auf Sextortion-Vorfälle – pro Monat, sagt Haidt. Auch Cyberbullying, also die Schikane durch Mitschüler, sei ein großes Problem für Jugendliche. Anders als früher, als sich Schikane vorwiegend im lokalen Umfeld bewegte, verstärken soziale Medien das Problem immens. Das zweite Problem, das Haidt sieht: »Der durchschnittliche US-amerikanische Teenager verbringt fünf Stunden am Tag in sozialen Medien. In Deutschland ist die Zahl etwas geringer. Hinzu kommen drei bis fünf Stunden mit anderen Bildschirmaktivitäten.« Die Folgen: Jugendliche bewegen sich zu wenig, bekommen nicht mehr genügend Schlaf und knüpfen weniger echte soziale Kontakte. Und letztlich sorgt sich Haidt noch um die indirekten Effekte sozialer Medien auf Jugendliche: Die Zahl der Angststörungen, Depressionen und Selbstverletzungen unter Jugendlichen habe seit dem Jahr 2010 massiv zugenommen. Für Haidt ist der Fall klar: Das ist genau die Zeit, als Smartphones sich auf der ganzen Welt ausbreiteten und Social-Media-Plattformen wie Facebook beliebt wurden. Er sieht darin den Hauptgrund für die Zunahme psychischer Erkrankungen bei Jugendlichen. Andere Forscher kritisieren diese Schlussfolgerung als vorschnell und verweisen auf mögliche andere belastende Faktoren wie die Klimakrise, die Finanzkrise und die Opioidkrise. Tatsächlich ist ein kausaler Zusammenhang zwischen Social Media und psychischen Erkrankungen nur schwer zu belegen – einfach, weil Smartphones überall sind und es keine Vergleichsgruppe gibt, die ohne diese Geräte lebt. Doch selbst wenn dieser Zusammenhang nur schwer beweisbar ist – »Social Media ist eine Plage für unsere Kinder«, sagt Haidt im Podcast.

US-Psychologe Jonathan Haidt sieht die Kindheit bedroht: durch Smartphones, soziale Medien und KI-Teddybären. Auch Computer im Klassenzimmer seien falsch. Hat er recht?

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the forefront of the campaign to ban social media for under-16s and end what he calls “phone-based childhoods”. His book, The Anxious Generation, sparked a global reckoning that has led countries like Australia and Spain to introduce laws restricting access to social media platforms. He spoke to Amol ahead of a meeting with UK health secretary Wes Streeting about why he thinks we’re at a tipping point, whether technology is making us “stupider” and how parents can reduce their child’s smartphone use by organising local “play-bourhoods”. A Meta spokesperson said: “We agree with Jonathan Haidt that keeping teens safe online is critical. That’s why we've made meaningful changes - like Teen Accounts - to limit who can contact teens, what they see, and their time on our apps. However, two recent independent, large-scale studies in the UK and Australia, including one from Oxford, show the complexity of teen mental health and that many factors beyond social media influence it. Any serious conversation should reflect all the evidence and social media's positive role for teens: friendship, skill-building and finding community." Snapchat and TikTok were approached for comment. TIMECODES (00:03:45) Are we reaching a global turning point in how children interact with technology?

This is a can’t miss episode. There’s a quiet rebellion happening — in kitchens, classrooms, and bedrooms — and it’s not coming from Silicon Valley. In this powerful episode of Techishly Jenn , Jenn sits down with Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price, co-authors of the new book The Amazing Generation, to talk about what’s really happening to kids growing up with smartphones, social media, and now AI. If The Anxious Generation helped parents understand what went wrong, The Amazing Generation is about what comes next — and why kids themselves are starting to say “enough.” This isn’t a tech-panic episode. Jenn, Jonathan, and Catherine make it clear: technology isn’t the enemy. But addictive design, unregulated platforms, and giving kids adult-grade tech before their brains are ready? That’s where things go sideways. Together, they unpack how smartphones became “supercomputer slot machines,” why social media harms girls and the broader techno-sphere traps boys, and why AI may pose an even bigger developmental threat if we don’t slow down and get this right. Along the way, Jenn shares candid parenting moments, including the uncomfortable but essential question every parent should ask their child — and themselves. This is one of the most honest, emotional, and practical conversations we’ve had on the show — about kids, screens, guilt, hope, and how we reclaim childhood without shame or lectures. What You’ll Learn Why kids don’t need smartphones — and what they actually need instead How social media and games are deliberately designed to hijack young brains Why the damage isn’t anecdotal anymore — and what the research really shows Why girls are hit hardest by social media and boys by the broader techno-sphere The heartbreaking question parents should ask their kids about phone use Why “no screens in bedrooms” is the single most important rule you can make How AI could be more dangerous than social media for child development Why kids themselves are leading the rebellion — and what gives real hope Episode Resources The Amazing Generation ( website ) The Amazing Generation ( book ) Jonathan Haidt ( website ) Jonathan Haidt ( Instagram ) Catherine Price ( website ) Catherine Price ( Instagram ) Tell Us What You Think Have you already given your child a smartphone — and now wish you’d waited?

It’s odd that one of our listeners’ favorite frequent guests is an atheist: Jonathan Haidt. And yet, it’s not really that unusual because Haidt, though not a believer, is perhaps the world’s foremost thinker on issues Christians face every day: the digital war on our attention spans, how technology is making us anxious, how removing obstacles and pain-points from our children hurts them, and why we all seem to hate each other so much. This week, Dr. Moore welcomes back social psychologist Jonathan Haidt to ask him how things have changed in recent months in the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and its impact on faith communities. Haidt—author of The Anxious Generation, The Coddling of the American Mind, and The Righteous Mind—shares his latest observations and updated insights since we last spoke. This is a fresh new conversation, building off of the previous ones. As the digital world shifts at breakneck speed, Haidt offers new analysis on what he's witnessing on the front lines: how smartphones and social media are reshaping our capacity for prayer and Bible reading, the escalating influence of TikTok and short-form video, and emerging concerns about AI in church settings. From practical questions about phone-free churches to broader concerns about protecting children in digital environments, this conversation bridges scientific insight with pastoral care. You'll hear Haidt's surprising predictions about AI's future, discover which social media platform he considers most harmful, and learn his single most important piece of advice for church leaders seeking to preserve human connection in our high-tech age. This is an essential dialogue for anyone concerned about reclaiming our ability to pay attention, think deeply, pray meaningfully, and build authentic community in an era of endless digital distraction.

In this special episode of Thriving Kids , Dr. Dave Anderson sits down with NYU social psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt for a live conversation on how smartphones and social media are transforming childhood — and what parents, schools, and policymakers can do in response. Recorded at Guild Hall in East Hampton, they discuss the questions raised in Dr. Haidt’s new book The Anxious Generation — including the points they see differently. They talk candidly about screen time, youth anxiety, social media “addiction,” digital literacy, tech regulation, and why we’re seeing such sharp mental health shifts in teens and tweens. Whether you’re alarmed by what you see on your kid’s phone or just looking for practical next steps, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and room for multiple perspectives. Topics include: The “post-play childhood” and decline in free time When (and if) kids should be using social media Why phones in schools are so hard to manage Where tech harms hit boys and girls differently What parents can do now — even if the genie’s already out of the bottle Further reading The Anxious Generation – Jonathan Haidt Screen Time and Technology Resources – Child Mind Institute Special thanks to Guild Hall and the Hamptons Institute for hosting this event and to journalist and filmmaker Perri Peltz for moderating with insight and care.

We were made for relationship — to be seen, loved, known, and committed to others. And yet we increasingly find ourselves, in the words of sociologist Jonathan Haidt, “disoriented, unable to speak the same language or recognize the same truth. We are cut off from one another and from the past.” On our podcast Haidt and bestselling author Andy Crouch pair up to explore how the technology era has seduced us with a false vision of human flourishing—and how each of us can fight back, and restore true community: “A person is a heart, soul, mind, strength, complex designed for love. And one of the really damaging things about our technology is very little of our technology develops all four of those qualities.” - Andy Crouch We hope you enjoy this conversation about the seismic effects technology has had on our personal relationships, civic institutions, and even democratic foundations — and how we might approach rethinking our technologies and reclaiming human connection.

What if smartphones are causing the youth mental health crisis? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, as he reveals how the "great rewiring of childhood" between 2010-2015 led to alarming increases in anxiety and depression among children and teens. We discuss how we've created a contradictory world of overprotection in real life but underprotection online, leaving children vulnerable to predators and mental health challenges. We also dive into why play is essential (he calls it "Vitamin P"), how technology fragments attention spans, and why collective action is our best hope for change. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, Professor at NYU, and co-founder of Let Grow, an organization dedicated to promoting childhood independence. His books include "The Anxious Generation" and "The Coddling of the American Mind."

“This great rewiring of childhood, I argue, is the single largest reason for the tidal wave of adolescent mental illness that began in the early 2010s.” — Jonathan Haidt The mental health of young people has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. In recent months, debates have raged about the impact of smartphones on adolescent wellbeing: Should they be banned in schools? Should children under 14 or 16 even have access to them? These questions have fuelled a growing movement to address the crisis in youth mental health — and no one has done more to lead this conversation than American social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. Haidt’s groundbreaking book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness , has topped bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic, sparking urgent conversations among parents, educators and policymakers. Drawing on years of research, Haidt argues that the dramatic rise in adolescent mental distress is linked to two seismic shifts: the decline of free play in childhood and the proliferation of smartphones. As the paperback edition of The Anxious Generation hit the shelves, Haidt returned to the UK to share a hopeful message: it’s not too late to act. In conversation with BBC journalist Jonny Dymond , he outlined practical strategies for parents, teachers and teenagers to counter the forces eroding mental wellbeing — and inspire a new generation to thrive. ------- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

In conversation with BBC journalist Jonny Dymond , he outlined practical strategies for parents, teachers and teenagers to counter the forces eroding mental wellbeing — and inspire a new generation to thrive. ------- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

Jonathan will share why he believes the skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors in teenagers can be directly linked to social media and excessive screen time. Oprah and Jonathan will also talk to teens - and their parents - from around the country about how their addiction to social media and smart devices is depriving them of their adolescence. Finally, Jonathan will offer tangible ideas for how parents and teens can work together to act now to prevent long-term and irreversible damage on teenagers’ still developing brains.

In this episode of Madison's Notes , Jonathan Haidt, renowned social psychologist and author, dives deep into the impact of digital saturation on today's youth, drawing insights from his latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness (Allen Lane, 2024). The discussion explores how growing up immersed in social media, video games, and smart technology is reshaping young people’s sense of self and influencing their political engagement. Haidt explains how the constant connectivity may be contributing to an increase in anxiety and how it’s altering their approach to both personal identity and societal participation. Haidt also addresses the potential for a "generational war," where differences between older and younger generations are often framed as inherent character flaws. He emphasizes the importance of understanding that many of Gen Z’s choices have been shaped by forces beyond their control, rather than pointing to a moral failing. This leads into a comparison with the themes explored in The Coddling of the American Mind , particularly the societal impact of overprotection and the lack of resilience-building among youth. The conversation then moves into practical territory, with Haidt discussing the importance of activating the brain’s inhibition system to help young people develop resilience and the ability to handle stress, conflict, and complex decision-making. He suggests that cultivating the inhibition system through thoughtful practices is key in fostering more resilient and independent young adults. Finally, Haidt examines the role of tech giants like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg in shaping the digital landscape and their growing political influence. He discusses the challenges of addressing the negative impacts of social media, pondering whether government intervention will result in meaningful change or if the influence of tech leaders will prevent any real reform. This episode provides a compelling exploration of how technology, societal norms, and political dynamics intersect to shape the lives of younger generations and offers valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for both youth and society at large.

This holiday season, it is inevitable that many young people will be gifted new smartphones, smartwatches, video games and other personal technology. With this in mind, today we're bringing back this important conversation with Jonathan Haidt, author of one of 2024's most talked about and best selling books The Anxious Generation, who joined Dr. Delaney to discuss the sheer amount of time that young people are on screens and the connection of this to the rise in mental health problems. What do actual experiments show us about the link between teen mental health and screen time? Why is the time of puberty particularly concerning when it comes to handing over smartphones and social media? Why does social media seem to impact girls more negatively than boys? These are just some of the questions that this episode addresses. In addition, Haidt offers two solutions for improving teen mental health. This episode is not just for adults but also for teens who are directly affected by these issues. Please note, suicidal ideation is mentioned briefly in the episode.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says it is time to reinstate the play-based childhood to bring our kids back from life online and into the real world, away from their increasing obsession with devices. It’s a fact of modern life that children who are given smart phones are able to access pornography, real images of violence and harmful comparisons with their friends and also influencers around the world. Social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt argues that as the social norms have changed, and younger and younger children have been allowed access to their own devices, their participation in the real world has suffered. Jonathan’s theory is that in order to combat the addicting influence of technology on our kids’ lives, families and society must encourage and allow children to enjoy free play, independence and responsibility in the real world. He says, rather than despairing at the current state of childhood, we have the power to give children fun, excitement and a passport to the real world. This episode of Conversations touches on Australia's social media ban, screen addiction, smart phones, online gaming, social media, mental health, teens, childhood, free play, children's independence, risk, outdoor play, child development, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, gaming, and Jonathan Haidt.

We continue our Best of 2024 episodes with an episode from the Village SquareCast podcast, hosted by the Village Square. We wanted you wonderful SquareCast listeners to know that we didn't plan for this episode to drop on Leap Day and we didn't plan on it being (we kid you not) Episode 100. But both things just happened . At the very least, we think that's a sign that you really ought to listen. Were we "the universe has a plan" maximalists, though, we'd say it means you need to quit your day job and follow bridge builders like Jon Haidt and The Village Square around like Jack Kerouac groupies. You pick. Here's our blurb to help inform your imminent life choice: What if, at a pinnacle of our civilization’s technological achievement, everything just broke — the institutions we’ve come to rely upon in navigating a modern complex world, the shared stories that hold a large and diverse democratic republic together, and even a common language through which to navigate the rising tide of crisis. According to renowned social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt, this describes our current reality, one that he calls “After Babel.” In this new normal, we are scattered by a digital environment into feuding tribes that are governed by mob dynamics and driven by a minority of ideological outliers, made stupid at warp speed by group think, and — thanks to social media — armed with billions of metaphorical “dart guns” with which to immediately wound “the enemy” in ways that are hardly only metaphorical. What could go wrong? Our very special guest, Dr. Jonathan Haidt, will delve into the profound impact of social media on democratic societies, dissecting the intricate web of challenges it poses to civic trust and civil discourse. Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the foremost thought leaders of our time — one who has generously given his counsel to The Village Square, and countless efforts like ours — on this existential challenge of our time.

5x15 is delighted to announce a special online event with acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt and television presenter Kirstie Allsopp, in partnership with Smartphone Free Childhood. Author of the groundbreaking, No.1 Sunday Times bestseller The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt has transformed the conversation around teenage mental health and galvanised a global movement. Haidt argues that there are two major factors behind the epidemic of mental illness among adolescents: the rise in smartphone usage, and the decline of free-play in childhood. With so many of us glued to our screens, it is now harder than ever to rediscover time spent in the real world. But there is another way. By presenting startling new data, Haidt's book has inspired many to put his practical recommendations to the test, and the results are remarkable. By limiting smartphone usage and returning to in-person interactions, children, teenagers and the rest of us can discover independence, responsibility and meaning, allowing us all to flourish. Published to huge acclaim this year, The Anxious Generation is both a life-raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves. There are lessons here for everyone, not only about parenting and development in an anxious age, but about reconnecting with what's important. Join us in October for this inspiring conversation. Praise for The Anxious Generation ‘Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . . He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all.’ – Susan Cain ‘Compelling, readable – a clarion-call to parents everywhere’ – Telegraph ‘Every single parent needs to stop what they are doing and read this book immediately.’ – Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus ‘Urgent and essential’ – Guardian Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at New York University’s Stern School of Business. His research examines the foundations of morality, and how morality varies across cultural and political divisions. Haidt is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis (2006) and of the New York Times bestsellers The Righteous Mind (2012) and The Coddling of the American Mind (2018, with Greg Lukianoff). In 2019 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since 2018 he has been studying the contributions of social media to the decline of teen mental health and the rise of political dysfunction, and The Anxious Generation (2024) has come out of this research.

Tämä on näyte Suomen Kuvalehden audiosisällöstä. Tilaajana voit kuunnella koko lehden. Älypuhelimet ovat maailmanlaajuinen uhka. Jos niitä ei oteta heti lapsilta pois, tulevista sukupolvista kasvaa onnettomia ja toimintakyvyttömiä. Sosiaalipsykologi, moraalin tutkija ja eettisen johtajuuden professori Jonathan Haidt ei kaihda suuria sanoja. "Kyse on koko ihmiskunnan tulevaisuudesta." Haidt näyttää videopuhelussa virkeältä, vaikka on vasta palannut kotiin Yhdysvaltoihin Britannian-kiertueeltaan. Hän on markkinoinut kevään ajan juuri suomeksikin ilmestynyttä kirjaansa Ahdistunut sukupolvi. Kirjan ydinväite kuuluu, että puhelimeen perustuva lapsuus on korvannut leikkiin perustuvan lapsuuden. On tapahtunut "suuri uudelleenjohdotus" - rewiring kääntyy vähän kömpelösti suomeksi. Haidtin mukaan nopea siirtymä älypuhelimiin 2010-luvulta alkaen selittää, miksi nuorten ahdistus ja masennus ovat räjähtäneet käsiin eri puolilla maailmaa. Viime viikot professori on tainnut saarnata jo uskoville. "En ole koskaan nähnyt vastaavaa. Minne tahansa menenkin, vanhemmat ovat kurkkuaan myöten täynnä ja järkyttyneitä siitä, mitä tapahtuu", hän kuvaa. "Ihmisiä ei ole tarvinnut vakuutella, he ovat jo valmiita toimimaan." Kirja on ollut myyntimenestys mutta saanut myös kritiikkiä tiedeyhteisössä. Osa tutkijoista on sitä mieltä, että Haidt yksinkertaistaa syyttäessään mielenterveyskriisistä puhelimia. Ajassamme on paljon muutakin ahdistusta tuottavaa. Psykologi Candice Odgers arvosteli huhtikuussa Nature-lehdessä, että todisteet syy-seuraussuhteesta puuttuvat. Hän kirjoitti, että voisi käyttää Haidtin väitteitä tilastotieteen luennoillaan malliesimerkkinä korrelaatiosta tehdystä virhepäätelmästä. Vaikka siis käyrät - älylaitteiden yleistyminen ja mielenterveysongelmat - nousisivat samaan tahtiin, toinen ilmiö ei välttämättä selitä toista. "Luulen, ettei Odgers edes ollut lukenut kirjaani, koska hän ei tiennyt, että käsittelin siinä asiaa", Haidt sanoo. Hän osasi kyllä odottaa kritiikkiä. Sitä on aiemmin saanut myös aiheesta kirjoittanut psykologi Jean Twenge jonka kanssa Haidt tekee yhteistyötä. Twenge rohkeni kysyä jo vuonna 2017, ovatko älypuhelimet tuhonneet kokonaisen sukupolven. Silloin näytön puutteesta saattoi vielä huomauttaa, Haidt sanoo. Nyt se ei ole hänestä enää oikein. Haidtin työryhmä on koonnut tutkimustietoa myös verkkoon kaikkien arvioitavaksi. Näyttöä syy-yhteydestä alkaa hänen mukaansa olla kymmenistä tutkimuksista. Kaikissa koeasetelmissa se ei ole selvä, mutta monissa on. Älypuhelimet aiheuttavat Haidtin mukaan sosiaalista vajetta, univajetta, tarkkaavaisuuden pirstoutumista ja riippuvuutta, ja tämä kaikki heikentää mielenterveyttä. Koko ajatuskuvio on laajempi. Haidt näkee kaksi eri kehityskulkua, jotka yhdessä uhkaavat lapsuutta: ylisuojelu tosielämässä ja alisuojelu verkossa. Ensimmäisen muutoksen juuret ovat jo viime vuosituhannella. Etenkin Yhdysvalloissa ja Britanniassa vanhemmat ovat 1980-luvulta alkaen rajoittaneet yhä enemmän lastensa liikkumista ja vapaata leikkiä. Haidt suomi "turvallistamisen" kulttuuria myös edellisessä kirjassaan The Coddling of the American Mind. Siinä hän ja lakimiestaustainen sananvapausaktivisti Greg Lukianoff käsittelivät opiskelijoiden heikentynyttä kykyä sietää erilaisia mielipiteitä ja epämukavia tunteita. He syyttivät tästä esimerkiksi juuri pelokasta vanhemmuutta. "Aikuiset ajattelevat, että lapset ovat hauraita, joten heitä pitäisi suojella kaikilta vastoinkäymisiltä ja konflikteilta. Mielestäni tämä on ristiriidassa nuorten ihmisten 'antihauraan' luonteen kanssa", Haidt sanoo. Tuoreessa kirjassa hän avaa käsitettä vertauksella. 1980-luvulla Arizonan autiomaassa käynnistyi yltiöpäinen koe, Biosfääri 2. Tarkoituksena oli valmistautua avaruuden asuttamiseen rakentamalla keinotekoinen suljettu ekosysteemi, jossa joukko koehenkilöitä eläisi vuosia. Hanke epäonnistui monin tavoin. Yksi onge
