No it's more about not spending time on every single theory written by cranks with inferiority complex you find on vixra. Instead spend your time studying established knowledge from previous generations (that's the PhD route).

I'm not the same anon and I don't discard people simply because of PhD but I can see how that's a rational strategy. In order to gain knowledge, you first have to trust the experts in academia, and study what they know, if they don't give a shit about something such as CTMU or flat earth theory or raspberry multiverse, it's rational to listen to them. There is not a single case of revolution in math or physics that was started by someone who don't understand the established framework. Einstein learned from Kant, Mach, Duhem, Poincaré, Schlick, and others, who does this dude cite for his theory? lol

Just go to viXra, there are too many similar theories.

The only way for a new theory about gravity to be considered worth a 20 minutes read is that it has to either
- predict something in principle testable that GR didn't predict or
- respect the invariances of existing established theories (like how QFT upgrades QM and SR, and how String upgrades QFT)

Also if the author doesn't understand what a Tensor is or what a manifold is (i.e someone like Tesla) then he is automatically dismissed in talks about gravity or space-time, I know this sounds unfair but physicists are humans too, they have limited lifetime. Not knowing modern math put your theory below Leo Vuyk's raspberry multiverses in the list of candidate theories.
