Richard,
It is true I entered university aged 15 and earned my BS in math and
physics with honors and a minor in philosophy aged 18. I never
claimed to be a genius though.

Good for you. But you have often the tone of a "truth knower", which
is a symptom of "non serious philosophy" to me.
You seem unable to list all your basic assumptions, also, which makes
hard to really interpret what you say. Then you use the term
computation is an highly non standard sense, and this without defining
it. From what I understand, it is still too much "aristotelian" to be
compatible with computationalism. This is something you could save by
finding a flaw in the UDA.
Not sure I follow your interpretation of special relativity too.

And Richard, thanks again for the invite to the group! It's a good
forum to try to clarify the presentation of my ideas.... Nothing
does that better than sharp criticism....
Best,
Edgar

all,
According to Mr. Qwen, he was a child genius.
On every other list he has appeared the genius still.
So I thought I should subject him to this list.
Thanks for coming through.

Agreed, Liz. His bizarre misunderstandings about block time (it
violates conservation of energy) and sundry other statements
exhibiting poor comprehension of modern physics reveal him to be
exactly what you suspected early on: a crackpot. The question he put
to you in which he asked if you ceased to exist at one point on his
timeline reveals his basic error of logic. Everything must exist
simultaneously with me, therefore there is a universal common
present moment. Obviously that does not necessarily follow but Mr
Owen has invested so much in his idea (he's written a book - self-
published one might assume) that he is incapable of seriously
questioning it any more. I guess there are two routes to genius:
have a brilliant, revolutionary idea and convince the world, or have
a wrong revolutionary idea and armour yourself so heavily against
reason that every rebuttal merely reinforces your own view that you
are a misunderstood visionary. Ad hominem. Mea culpa.
