How I Killed—and Revived—Teamwork With AI https://t.co/J3bQYiJ4ph

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

A recently released streaming series presents a fictionalized interpretation of events in mid-19th century Utah. While historical fiction can be illuminating, this drama is dangerously misleading.

Brigham Young, a revered prophet and courageous pioneer, is, by any historical standard, egregiously mischaracterized as a villainous, violent fanatic. Other individuals and groups are also depicted in ways that reinforce stereotypes that are both inaccurate and harmful.

As to the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which the series inaccurately portrays as reflective of a whole faith group, the Church has long acknowledged and condemned this horrific tragedy. It has also taken significant steps to uncover and share the full truth of what happened and promote healing.

The problem with such deceptive, graphic and sensationalized storytelling is that it not only obscures reality and hinders genuine understanding but can foster animosity, hate and even violence. This is particularly troubling today when peacemakers are needed more than ever. At a time when so many responsible leaders are condemning the division and hostility that dominate so much of our public discourse, we echo the plea of President Russell M. Nelson: “The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers. … Peacemaking is a choice. … I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.”

This sentiment, shared across many traditions, is resonating around the world today. It is the prophetic message of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—a message of peace that all the modern prophets have shared, including Brigham Young.

Robots are here. Should we tax then?

No. But there are serious challenges ahead - as I discuss here with @JeffLHoopes and @ScottDyreng.

New from me. Implementation of a global minimum tax was always going to be somewhat of a messy and prolonged process. What we're witnessing now is exactly that in addition to other economic uncertainties that businesses are trying to navigate. It's a fog.

If legislation grants a tax break to a specific sector (product, etc), it is not a tax loophole, it is a policy option.

This is the case with VAT on schools, and many other corporate tax issues.

I fear that whatever good I've done donating to charities has been completely outweighed by the trees they've killed sending me letters to try to get me to give more.

[Scott Dyreng @ScottDyreng]

@Howlingmutant0 its way more complicated than that :)
