Have any of you read Christopher Langan's CTMU? Did it give you any unique insights?
The idea of the universe as a recursive computer is interesting. I did find some ideas valuable. I just wish Langan would simplify his arguments to make reading them easier.

Yes. IQ alone is a shit measure of intelligence.

Looks like someone couldn't understand Mr. Genius's big words.
I know it's mean nothing but he doesn't have the facial features of high IQ.
Was he properly tested independently multiples times with steady scores ?

Yes. There is substance to his ideas, but he writes in a very convoluted style, using non standard meanings and definitions which you could only know if you read all of his citations. It comes off as very obvious that his writing is there to make him seem smart

Any kind of shitposting seems refreshing after the spectrum autist.
It made me see how much I wish sci was good... The second insight is fuck mods for deleting university problems as "homework" because it'd be a ton more interesting than horseshit Langan.
