I use the Bing engine to avoid using Google. It's far less offensive than Google but it still is stricken with Wokeness too.
The=y have history tidbits and this is what they have for today:
"Captain James Cook makes an accidental discovery English explorer Captain James Cook's ship runs aground off the coast of Australia, in the world's largest coral reef system. The Great Barrier Reef was already well-known to the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples."
Really? did the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples explored and map the the reef? Did they produce charts or any kind of map? Did they investigate and catalogue what lives there?
Maybe the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples knew the reef was there but that doesn't mean they understood it or its significance.
It’s a bit like saying Leonardo Da Vinci invented the airplane. There’s a difference between conceptualizing and scientific-technologically developing that concept.
They had the reef half done to keep the illegal English out but a new leader who was elected by fake straws came in and stopped building the reef so that the illegal English immigrants could cross the open reef and vote fer him.
She hasn’t been to Fiji either
“Does this mean someone who lives a half-mile from a reef is more likely to know its location than someone from 10,000 miles away?”
Lol... Incredible concept isn’t it? I’m shaking my head still trying to figure out the point of the post in the first place...
“Really? did the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples explored and map the the reef? Did they produce charts or any kind of map? Did they investigate and catalogue what lives there?”
Yes... They did.
Duh, the navigator was Captain Obvious!
