Felipe Nunes, political scientist, professor, and founder of Quaest, is the guest on this week's Provoca. In conversation with Marcelo Tas, he investigates who the modern Brazilian is and what research reveals about the country's political and social transformations.

Based on his book "Brazil in the Mirror," Felipe Nunes discusses the growing identification with the right, political polarization, and the paradox of an increasingly traditionalist Brazil electing Lula as president. The political scientist also explains the concept of ideological "calcification" and how it can hinder dialogue and debate in society.

During the interview, Nunes presents three major transformations that have helped shape contemporary Brazil: the demographic transition, the religious transition, and the transformation in how we communicate. The conversation also touches on distrust among Brazilians, the fear of urban violence, and the impact of social media on politics.

Felipe also explains how election polls work, dispels myths about voting intention surveys, and discusses the limitations of this type of survey—after all, a poll is not a prediction of the future, but a snapshot of a specific moment.

And there's a personal revelation: Felipe Nunes explains why he decided not to vote and how this choice is related to the pursuit of impartiality and independence in his work as a political analyst.
