Through his vaunted philanthropy, Bill Gates transformed himself from a tech villain into one of the most admired people on the planet. Even as divorce proceedings and allegations of misconduct have recently tarnished his public image, the beneficence of the Gates Foundation, celebrated for spending billions to save lives around the globe, is taken as a given. But as Tim Schwab shows in this fearless investigation, Gates is still exactly who he was at Microsoft: a bully and monopolist.

Gates foundation didn’t cooperate and so there is not concrete data but it’s because the foundation is not a charity but instead gates private play ground.

Sincerity in trying to understand polygamy

Sincerity in trying to understand polygamy
Revisado: 01-19-24
She does indicate that she had once supported polygamy but had concluded that polygamy was wrong and that her emphasis would be focused on scripture and how the scriptures show it is wrong.
When I found her works in January of 24 she had completed many episodes and my observation is that her emphasis has gone way beyond scripture and theology.
She does ok at first on focusing on scripture and theology but as time goes on her emphasis becomes primarily anti Brigham and pro Joseph Smith.
Her conclusion and cause is to prove that Polygamy doesn’t come from Joseph but from Brigham and others.
She ignores that Oliver Cowdery and Joseph had a very high level high council argument over Joseph’s involvement in Adultery as early as 1836 or prior that was written up by many contemporaneous individuals.

Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

Well done very in depth biography of an important current political character. The book exposes the very short term thinking of congressional participants.

Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Growing up Mormon during America’s early-1980s satanic panic, Bigelow escapes the religion’s bland conformity by playing Dungeons & Dragons. After graduating from high school in 1984, he dives into sex, drugs, and the counterculture via Salt Lake City’s punk and new-wave scenes, as echoed from London, New York, and especially Los Angeles. As Bigelow explores the underground, he rejects myths of supernatural good vs. evil, living instead by the D&D concept of chaotic neutrality. During LSD trips, however, he starts sensing an unseen dimension.

Acid conversion
Revisado: 01-11-21
As more historical information comes out about early Mormonism every LDS member will if they are thinking and reading have similar Acid tripe of tests of their faith. Do we give it up because of the stupidity of early leaders? Or do we recognize that even the most faithful of our leaders have a dark side as well as a light side. All need the savior especially those who desire to be righteous.
