replicates or creates another?

what created the first universe?

wait, is this that theory that came from the supposedly smartest man in america who dropped out of school and works in construction for 20 years now?

>In other words, a comprehensive theory of reality is not just about observation, but about theories and their logical requirements. Since theories are mental constructs, and mental means "of the mind", this can be rephrased as follows: mind and reality are linked in mutual dependence at the most basic level of understanding. This linkage of mind and reality is what a TOE (Theory of Everything) is really about. The CTMU is such a theory; instead of being a mathematical description of specific observations (like all established scientific theories), it is a "metatheory" about the general relationship between theories and observations…i.e., about science or knowledge itself. Thus, it can credibly lay claim to the title of TOE.

Real talk though, is this guy full of shit or is there some merit to his theory?

Undecidable

I've tackled the CTMU paper and it did have plenty of interesting ideas, but I cannot evaluate it as a whole and say it's coherent.

Anyone who even speaks a language is just a dumb parrot.
Nothing humans are capable of should be considered 'intelligent'.

This guy is like Hegel, he can't simplify his ideas. His intelligence is undoubtedly outstanding though.
