這篇文章介紹了約翰霍普金斯大學的 Bibliotheca Fictiva 收藏，這是世界上最大的文學與歷史偽造作品集。該收藏品由 Earle Havens 管理，旨在透過研究偽造品，鼓勵人們對資訊保持質疑的態度。文章探討了從古代到 20 世紀中葉的各種偽造手法，包括偽造文件、書信、甚至虛構人物的傳記，並指出「假新聞」並非數位時代的獨創，而是自古以來就存在的現象。透過分析偽造品的動機與手法，旨在培養讀者批判性思考的能力。
+ 這篇文章讓我大開眼界，原來我們現在擔心的假新聞，幾千年前就有人在玩了！
+ Bibliotheca Fictiva 聽起來是個很棒的收藏，真想親自去看看那些有趣的偽造品。

I am utterly opposed to hiding #academic papers behind paywalls. They are pretty much all funded (at least in part) by public money, so that information should be available to the public always and forever. That said, it is true, you can get a free #JSTOR "independent researcher" account with any email address that allows you to read 100 articles a month. This is awesome to get access to all these papers, you know, for my independent research. But, seriously, it's cool.
