About Connor McFadyen
In Connors Words
“Symbai exists to make rigorous thinking accessible to anyone who wants to challenge their mind — not just those who already love to argue.
After six years of refining ideas from classrooms, coaching, and code, I built Symbai to make advanced argumentation easy to access — and even fun. It’s where technology meets the art of reasoning, helping you think more clearly, question more deeply, and engage with ideas that push you forward.”
