a lesswrong: 47-minute read extolling the ambition and insights of Christopher Langan’s “CTMU”
a science blogger back in the day: not so impressed
[I]t’s sort of like saying “I’m going to fix the sink in my bathroom by replacing the leaky washer with the color blue”, or “I’m going to fly to the moon by correctly spelling my left leg.”
Langan, incidentally, is a 9/11 truther, a believer in the “white genocide” conspiracy theory and much more besides.
You just said “at the speed of light”, but while doing a backflip and taking a shit mid-air.
