Are you saying it would be impossible to translate Lessans' observations into another language? German, say, or Japanese?
If it is possible to translate them into other languages, then all we're asking is that you translate them into simple English - as if you were trying to get the message over to a child.
If a new world order is to be built as a result of the ideas in the book, then it will presumably be useful to have a child-friendly version of the book, so your efforts won't have been wasted.
But as Stephen Maturin said, a simple list of the observations would be a better place to start.
If it were the gospels of the bible, the list would include items like:
- Birth of Jesus
- Return of young Jesus to Nazareth
- Ministry of John the Baptist
- First disciples of Jesus
- Beatitudes
Could you do something similar for this book? And then we could discuss each of the observations in turn, in greater detail. |
I can give you the name of the chapters in the book which gives an overview of where the book is headed, but I cannot explain the first two chapters in this simple way. Too much is left out and then people will tell me he's wrong. Been there, done that.
