It's late, but you might be interested in John Gabriel's attempts to reinvent calculus or David Birnbaum's philosophical theory of everything. Here's a Guardian article about the latter's story. You're probably already familiar with the classic Time Cube website.
yeah sure great minds over there in the flat earthers groups, einstein larpers and such. i think self-important scientists in academia with their endless citations are lame. but being a hopeless romantic about the idea that human knowledge is almost ethereal, without form, just vibes, and equating the systematic analysis of nature with just some guy being curious about something, is even lamer.
What does Cumrun say about Andy’s latest idea to build on Lenny’s insight to get around Eva’s paper showing that Ashok’s plan to use Juan’s discovery that Brian and Michio discussed recently on the 13th anniversary of Shamit’s paper tweaking David’s original epiphany, can only work if some speculations of Cumrun are true to begin with in Euclidean signature?
Great minds think alike, I guess. Eric Weinstein and I; just two dudes trying to bring a voice to the voiceless and break up the elites' monopoly on "the truth".
