I will try to take a few pictures of it when I have a chance. We haven’t opened it for years, because the book is is pretty bad shape. The binding (which is not original binding as far as I can tell) is about to fall apart. It’s currently on the bookshelf squeezed between a few book to prevent it from crumbling.
We were even planning at one point to digitalize it and donate it to a library (or some organization that can restore and preserve old book). But the family debate about it when this conversation come up because it’s something that has been passed down for generations already.
I have a manuscript in Latin that was passed down in the family. The content seems to be some religious stuff when a family friend who understands Latin took a look at it. No one in the family actually bothered to understand what’s written in it.
Maybe I will bring it to someone who could translate it when I have time on the future.
It is a chicken and egg problem.
The real root cause as you said is very likely down to individual’s media literacy and critical thinking skills. But the solution to educate everyone from ground up would be very costly and less efficient.
From an efficiency perspective, the government have to figure out ways to stop misinformation from spreading in short term. And hopefully, next few generation will have better critical thinking and analytic skills to online information.
I don’t know how they would draw the line between misinformation and first amendment. But hopefully, a competent government will see this as a problem and find solutions to it.
Thank you for writing this out so clearly.
People’s attention span has been decreasing since the introduction of social media, smart phones, and ease of access of information.
Imo the government should hold entertainers and public figures accountable for spreading misinformation. But this is hard to enforce and the root cause is people’s attention span.
I hope they could re release a PC version as well. Current GTA IV PC version is laughable on modern hardware. The optimization mod works ok most of the time. But sometime it stutters like crazy and I need a hard PC reboot to fix it.
