I had to look it up but it’s called collective epistemology. It is critical to LDS members entire world view that a large group maintain that same belief system. It allows them to ignore all the overwhelming evidence the Church is false and corrupted. Thus the crash out

KENNETH. FREAKING. WALKER. 4th and 1 runs always have the chance to hit big because if you can break through there’s no one behind it. But oh my goodness this is even better than anyone could’ve imagined.

Great article.
A Mormon lawyer decides he wants to be an archaeologist and ends up losing his faith in the Book of Mormon because he found exactly zero archeology.

There have been over 5 million total 18-game spans by players in MLB's modern era.
In none of them did a player have as many hits, doubles, triples, homers & steals as the @Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong over his last 18 games:
34 hits
5 doubles
2 triples
9 home runs
6 stolen bases

Yesterday, Ian Happ hit an absolute tank for a home run. 109 off the bat. 32 deg LA.
.. except, he didn't. Thanks to our friends at @WeatherApplied, we know that the wind cost him *113 feet* of distance -- which is now the largest stop in the data.

If you map a lot of #LDS posting on X, it is almost formulaic:
1.Start with an absolute claim: “The Book of Mormon is true.” “Joseph Smith was a prophet.” “The Church is the restored gospel.”
2.Let the algorithm do the rest: likes, amen replies, testimony echoing, in group reinforcement.
3.When someone responds with a normal, good faith question (sources, translation issues, priesthood/temple history, racism, polygamy, anachronisms), it gets reframed as “anti,” “contention,” or “not the right spirit.”
4.Exit without touching the substance or (usually) just silence.
It is a clean self sealing loop: certainty is treated as the evidence, and scrutiny is treated as the problem. That may work for identity reinforcement. It does not function as an argument.

Someone will have to explain to me how Miami losing to two unranked teams and not even making its conference championship makes it a better team than BYU, which only lost on the road to the 4th-ranked team in the country. Sports media is every bit as corrupt as news media.

The way the College Football season shaped up, the CFP Committee had an opportunity to do the most right thing with the smallest backlash.
Alabama and BYU getting blown out in their conference championship games opened the door to put both Notre Dame and Miami in.
Instead they dropped the ball and punished BYU for losing, didn’t punish Alabama for losing and then flipped Notre Dame and Miami despite neither of them playing a game.
None of it makes sense.
They did the thing that would give them the most backlash just to have 5 SEC teams in the playoff.
That makes everyone question the integrity of the process and rightfully so.

When you compare full body of work for BYU and Miami it should be no question who gets in.
Better record? BYU
Better SOS? BYU
Tougher Conference? BYU
Better losses? BYU
More ranked wins? BYU
Better SOR? BYU
Made conf title game? BYU
Miami deserved to be ahead of ND, but not BYU

This is when you knew ESPN and the SEC had it rigged for Bama no matter what. When they made it sound like Bama escaping Auburn who was so bad this year that they fired their coach was like beating the 85 Bears. They looked really good in the 1st half is such a hilarious line

If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.
If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.
If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.
BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.
This. Makes. No. Sense.
The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).
RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.

Has a Mormon bishop ever sexually assaulted a child in his office at church?
Here’s a Utah man charged recently with doing that:
