I looked into him about a month or so ago, after he'd posted an
unflattering remark about my work. He might have an IQ of 200, but to
put it bluntly, what he writes is "drivel". It may well have a kernel
of truth, and there may well even be original thought in there, but it
is so voluminous and so badly organised it is impossible to tell.
Basically, my advice to him would be to get a PhD. It doesn't teach
you creativity, but does teach you how to organise and express your
ideas so that others can possibly understand it. But I suspect Chris
Langan is too proud to do this. At least Bruno has done his PhD, and
his work is so much the better off for him having gone through that
process, painful though it was.
Cheers
