R Seeker

[Perpetuo Carlson]

WhenI was ten years old, my best friend was a Methodist. He and I determined that we would know which of our churches was true based on whether Southern Methodist University or BYU won the Holiday Bowl game to be played on December 19, 1980.

It did not look good for the Restoration when BYU trailed by twenty points with four minutes left. Then the Cougars recovered an onside kick and scored. Then they blocked a punt and scored. Then, with no time left on the clock, quarterback Jim McMahon threw a Hail Mary pass that Clay Brown caught amid a thicket of defenders in the end zone.1

Another ingredient in my story is interpretation. By interpretation, I mean the way that I endowed facts with meaning beyond what you or I can prove or disprove. I took all those components and arranged them to serve my present purpose of priming you to think like a seeker.

Narratives abound in the information age. We are surrounded by, infused with, and, in one sense, even composed of stories like mine. Some narratives are simple. Some are sacred, even salvific. Some are sinister. Some are seductive. We must choose which narratives to make ours. How can we know what is true and trustworthy? The best way I know is to be a seeker precisely as the Lord prescribed in Doctrine and Covenants 88:118:

When we confront complexity, it is common to feel dissonance or tension between the ideals we thought we knew and the reality we now see. We become aware that there is more than one narrative and more than one point of view. Then we think about what we know and how we know it. We consider and experiment with options and alternatives. We choose what we will believe, how we will interpret the facts, and what narrative we will use to make sense of the facts. We choose whether our faith will continue to be childish, grow up with us, or die.

Bias is real, but so is the simplicity on the other side of complexity. We can seek our way to it with both disciplined brainwork and relentless spiritual work. That is what I know. And this is how I know it.

Along the way to earning my PhD, I picked up a useful seeking tool in a philosophy class: the discipline of slowing down enough to pick a proposition apart, determine what it means, and then decide whether it can be justified. Consider, for example, the proposition that I just made: Joseph Smith was a revelator. What does it mean? Can it be justified? If, in the time since you heard me finish the questions, you have already concluded that you know what it means and that it is justified, then you have not yet grasped what I mean when I say to be a seeker. If you are slowing down and wondering what it means that Joseph Smith was a revelator and wanting to painstakingly internalize all the available evidence that could either justify or discredit that proposition, and if you are determined to carry out that process by study and by faith for as long as it takes, then you are grasping what it means to be a seeker.

There is a lot at stake in deciding how you will define revelator. How would you arrive at that definition? Would you default to a definition based on one or more unsound assumptions? Would you decide, for instance, that a revelator is a perfect person, or nearly so? Would you decide that a revelator is someone who produces revelations in perfect English? Would you decide that there are no such things as revelators these days? Would you base your definition on objective facts? If so, which ones? So very much depends on the definition you choose.

Those might seem like unassailable truths, but they are not. They are just unexamined assumptions posing as foregone conclusions. Seekers are not content with that kind of thinking. They are not content to let unexamined assumptions pose as truth.

the Homing Missile can also dispatch Outriders quickly, provided they aren't in a Healing bubble, by virtue of breaking all of the Weakpoints simultaneously, just like what the Rocket Barrage would do.

It's not especially clear, but there's a lockon mechanic for them. You have to keep sights on your target until the targeting indicator subtly changes, at which point you've got a lock and if you fire a seeker it will chase the target.

I pilot my ship and find it the most useful as I can take out 2-3 fighters at once, even in veil. The other two weapons do not work against crew ships and the other tough one has weak points I can easily shoot so I just don't see the need for either middle.

Apprenticeship is an industry-driven training model that combines on-the-job learning with job-related instruction. As an "earn and learn" model, apprentices are employed and earn wages from the first day on the job.

Pre-Apprenticeship is an opportunity to help job seekers gain the necessary skills for Registered Apprenticeship. These programs can play a valuable role in preparing individuals for a career, while contributing to the development of a diverse and skilled workforce. Employer can connect to these programs to create an apprentice talent pipeline.

Youth Apprenticeship (YA) is a highly successful talent acquisition strategy, in which, employers hire high school juniors or seniors for one or two-years. During this time, the student continues toward high school graduation and takes courses related to the profession as a way of enhancing what is being learned on the job.

YA is the perfect program for students to explore their interests and enhance skills in a profession before even graduating. Employers can connect with the high school students before graduation, connecting to the next generation of the workforce.

Registered apprenticeship offers numerous benefits to both employers and job seekers by operating a time-proven training method of combining on-the-job training with classroom learning. Apprenticeships provide employers with solutions to the current shortage of skilled workers and the ongoing need for a highly skilled workforce while providing apprentices the benefits of an "earn while you learn" training model.
