Nemo the Mormon is a third-generation believer who grew up devout, orthodox, and deeply committed to the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But over time, he began to discover uncomfortable truths: financial secrecy, historical cover-ups, and leaders who seemed more like businessmen than prophets. Convinced that honesty and accountability were core Christian values, Nemo became an outspoken internal critic - until last year, when he was excommunicated after appearing in the media to challenge the church’s leadership.

We explore Nemo’s journey from devoted missionary to vocal dissenter, what finally broke his trust in the institution, and how he now thinks about truth, authority, and belief.

Spencer Greenberg is an entrepreneur, mathematician, and social scientist who has dedicated his career to helping people think more clearly and make better decisions.

After years of building tools to improve reasoning from personality tests to structured debate platforms, Spencer realised that the biggest challenge isn’t just giving people good information. It’s getting them to actually use it. Today, his work focuses on making psychological insights and rational thinking tools practical, engaging, and easy for anyone to apply in everyday life.

We explore why Spencer cares so deeply about truth-seeking, what makes people resistant to changing their minds, and how his projects (like Clearer Thinking and GuidedTrack) are helping people question assumptions, explore alternative perspectives, and live more intentionally.

Freddie deBoer is a writer, academic, and former teacher whose research and experience challenge one of society’s most deeply held beliefs: that education is the great equaliser.

After teaching students at every level - from special education classrooms to college lecture halls - Freddie had a change of heart. He came to believe that intelligence is largely inherited, that academic ability is far more stable than we like to admit, and that expecting every child to succeed in the same system can actually be cruel.

We explore the moment that led Freddie to question the promise of education, why well-funded interventions and elite schools rarely change outcomes, and what a more humane and realistic approach to schooling could look like.
