Just as a fun illustration of how control of the narrative shifts the perspective of the reader, I had ChatGPT write the story of the Nephi-Laban incident, as though it were a news story with a pro-Laban slant. I found the exercise thought provoking… Enjoy:
High-Stakes Confrontation: Nephi’s Violent Encounter with Righteous Laban Shakes Community
In a shocking incident that has left the community reeling, a man named Nephi has been implicated in a violent confrontation with Laban, a respected figure known for his integrity and righteousness.
The incident, which unfolded under the cover of darkness, has raised serious concerns about Nephi’s dangerous criminal tendencies and the moral implications of his actions.
According to eyewitness accounts, Nephi, a known troublemaker with a history of questionable behavior, allegedly confronted Laban in an attempt to seize valuable possessions. The encounter quickly escalated into a physical altercation, with Nephi resorting to violence to achieve his objectives. Laban, known for his commitment to justice and upholding the law, bravely resisted Nephi’s advances.
Supporters of Laban argue that he was well within his rights to defend himself against Nephi’s unlawful intrusion and violent actions. They highlight Laban’s adherence to the established legal and moral codes as evidence of his righteousness, casting doubt on the motives and character of Nephi.
In the aftermath of the confrontation, Nephi reportedly seized Laban’s possessions, including a set of ancient records. This act of theft, viewed by many as a violation of the law and an affront to personal property rights, has further cemented Nephi’s image as a dangerous criminal.
As the investigation unfolds, questions arise regarding Nephi’s true intentions and the moral justifications behind his violent behavior. Laban’s supporters argue that Nephi’s actions cannot be justified under any circumstances, highlighting the need for a thorough examination of the events leading up to the confrontation.
Disturbingly, reports have also emerged linking Nephi to a string of kidnappings involving multiple individuals. Among the victims are Zoram, a trusted associate, Ishmael, a respected community member, and even Ishmael’s daughters. Authorities have classified Nephi as armed and extremely dangerous, urging the public to exercise caution and report any sightings or information related to his whereabouts. The safety and well-being of the community are of paramount importance, and efforts are underway to bring Nephi to justice and hold him accountable for his actions.
Amazing!

I’ll make the MASH theme song even more iconic: look at the lyrics
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless (suicide)
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
“Is it to be or not to be?”
And I replied, “Oh, why ask me?”
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
And you can do the same thing
If you please
It makes me happy that I’m not the only one that loves Better Call Saul. I haven’t watched Season 6 but I’ve been told that there isn’t a plan to finish it and Season 6 does not give a good conclusion. So that’s frustrating.
Saul finished and finished well.
