The best classroom upgrade might be less tech #TEDTalks
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…

Yes! They are gorgeous birds. I live in Singapore and hear the rooster every morning as I get up early….

They are not junglefowl though, most are just normal chickens that were released during COVID. Talked to a Nparks personnel regarding this

@@unicornia7494 Not really. Not sure which type they are. But some of them exist and are well established in certain areas long before Covid. There was already a bunch of them around SGH, that looks like normal chickens. Those around my flat near Boon Keng have plumages that look closer to Junglefowl, very colorful. The female looks nothing like what you expect a chicken to look like, smaller, smoother in shape.

I feel one of the larger contributing factors which made the wildlife come back was actually cov1d because people stayed home during the lockdown and wildlife had more safe space to roam.

I have lived in the Boston MA area for 5 years. This past year we moved into the city. Since moving into the city I’ve seen, a groundhog that lives under my neighbors house and he can’t figure out how to get rid of it, a very large skunk, a very large non-venomous snake, rabbits galore, and of course birds, squirrels, chipmunks. Very interesting

As the human race encroaches the forest habitat, the wild animals have learnt to live in the city habitat with humans.

Sometimes the reintroduction of a species has a knock-on effect, displacing another subspecies. For example, wolves in Yellowstone and Colorado “ evicted” coyotes who then “moved” foxes into suburban, then urban areas. I have seen the increase of foxes in cities like the one I live in, Lincoln, NE and also, for a curious reason, in the UK before fox hunting became unpopular, foxes forsook country fields. and woods to take up residence in Bristol, England and very populated urban areas of London. ????????????

I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
making more than $100k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
people who panic.

I do voluntary field work in Singapore. Moved here from London decades ago. Currently doing dragonfly count,species,numbers etc. Also with Jane Goodall Institute here for the Raffles Banded Langur. The reintroduction to the wild of the Pied Hornbill has been successful. I have spotted them from my window and they say on my friends balcony.
