Vanishing Australian native wildlife "The Invasive Species Council said... findings revealed the growing disconnect between Australians and wildlife, as local species declined while introduced animals – like cats, foxes and rabbits – became an increasingly familiar sight." "About 10% considered cats wildlife." "About one in six NSW, QLD and Vic residents think foxes are native animals and a third believe quolls are introduced." "One in five thought cane toads were native." “Sadly Australia is a world leader in extinctions." >> https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/20/outfoxed-how-well-do-you-know-your-native-animals-australians-questionable-quoll-knowledge-exposed #Biodiversity #wildlife #NativeWildlife #conservation #illiteracy #ignorance #KnowledgeShortfalls #agnotology#education #pets #pests #SettlerSociety #EuropeanColonisation #extinction #ecocide #UnknownCountry #BiodiversityLoss

Bertrand Russell reportedly once said “the fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” Michael Desronvil, the lone juror who voted “guilty” in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, demonstrated Russell’s maxim by saying he "didn't have any doubts" that she knew what she was doing when she killed her children. Unless the other eleven jurors were wrong in having reasonable doubts, Desronvil was too ignorant to join them in that opinion. #BertrandRussell #Crime #Justice #Insanity #Philosophy #LindsayClancy #Stupidity #Ignorance #MentalHealth
