A few months ago, I developed a strong computational metaphysical theory that explains the Universe in terms of computation. It integrates Wolfram's computational Physics with Dawkins' memes, some established theories of mind, the simulation hypothesis, Gödel's incompleteness theorem and Turing's halting problem, into a consistent framework that describes all of Nature. The theory matches our observations perfectly, makes several predictions, and is falsifiable. However, there appear to be several problems with it: It's just a Medium post, not an article in a peer-reviewed journal; It predicts that many of our current paradigms are wrong; E.g. we should not build larger Particle accelerators, try to reverse engineer the brain or venture into outer space; It invalidates all organized religions, while also proposing something that could be interpreted as "intelligent creation", pissing of scientists and atheists (which is ironic, given that I'm an atheist myself); It simply does not fit into any single category, so it's incredibly hard to share it anywhere without being modded (even /r/Philosophy deletes every threat about it). I suspect that after reading this, most of you have written me off as a crank. In fact, you cannot imagine how much insult and derision I've had to endure trying to post this theory on the Internet. But I still firmly stand behind it. I did receive some actual valuable critiques and have found a circle of people that I can debate the theory with; It's just that the subset of people who are open for the theory appears to be very small. I am posting this here in the hope that I will find some more open-minded, intelligent people who want to engage in a serious discussion. Please note that I won't return to this forum to read responses (I suffered a mental breakdown after the initial weeks of trying to discuss the theory on open forums), but I will respond to any serious criticism posted in response to my Medium article. Attaching a PDF version here, you can find the online version on my Medium (Bernhard Mueller), I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here.
