Well, Valve’s profitability per employee is supposedly higher than Google or Apple’s, and their employee handbook detailing their unconventional corporate culture is available for viewing online. shrug
(For what it’s worth from what I can tell Mormons don’t even formally make the sort of ontological commitments that are typical of (at-least-somewhat-reflective) mainstream Christianity (like, ‘Jesus is my savior and I should have expected Him to show up in all logically possible worlds and all possible minds should be rounded-up-to-infinitely compelled by His story and the seemingly contingent features of Jesus [Jesus’s teachings] are actually universal features of Logos and so it would be an obvious epistemic sin to disregard Him [them]’) and so it’s more plausible that it would be possible to go along with Mormonism in something like good faith, even if only jokingly or subtly-ironically or something.)
Will, out of curiosity; do you enclose your comments in parentheses to give them the quality of a “whispered aside”, as if the camera had cut to a couple of conversants sitting in the back stalls? Because that’s what it does in my brain.
I give a 70% chance that Mormon doctrine holds that Jesus is accidental (in the sense of not existing in all possible worlds). He has a physical body, after all. For that matter, so does God.
Mormon theology is too weird for me to fully grok, though.
...Mormons? I don’t wanna. Even though it would probably work.

Eh, it seems worth investigating to me.

More or less, yeah. Vladimir Nesov has a similar but distinct habit.
Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of that before.
