I doubt very much, s&m, that Square Two is aimed at deep thinkers like yourself.
Ordinary run-of-the-mill intellects, though, may be able to find something worthwhile in the reflections of Profs. Valerie Hudson, Ralph Hancock, Richard Sherlock, and their associates. And that modest achievement may well be enough to justify Square Two's existence.

Read again the mission statement;(emphasis mine)
“Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand; of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad, the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms--that ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you.” D&C 88:78-80

Way to go DCP.
The best part of it is; them guys (religious entities) are making a great living of the sheep.
Jesus was really right on the button when he called his followers sheep.
