>>12501060Also, evaluating his theory from my brief skimming of it (also as someone who has absolutely zero physics knowledge, myself): I think it is kind of interesting. He starts from the approach of "as a computer scientist, if I were to design a quantized universe, how would I do it" and then relates that to the existing theory + some speculative papers.
I noticed his theory has a lot of similarities to Wolfram's extravagant theory of everything (though he published his many years before Wolfram's). Wolfram is more annoying to me, because although he does actually have a serious physics and math background, he's way too arrogant and over-confident about the correctness of this extremely speculative idea. I did find his podcast episode interesting, though; it is definitely a coherent theory, whether or not it has any relationship to reality:

>>12501065I don't really agree but even if that were to be true, he's clearly a very original and insightful thinker. IQ obviously isn't everything. I'd recommend people watch
