This article by Miles Mathis criticizes David Deutsch’s “Constructor Theory,” arguing that it is a fraudulent attempt to salvage outdated and flawed quantum physics theories, particularly those related to quantum computing. Mathis claims that Deutsch’s work, like the concept of qubits, is based on non-existent physical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, which in turn are rooted in Hugh Everett’s many-worlds interpretation and Schrödinger’s Cat Problem. Mathis asserts that Deutsch is an “absolute fraud” whose career consists of creating baseless mathematical models.
The author further contends that Deutsch’s Constructor Theory is not a genuine scientific advancement but rather a “vast wall of cheese” designed to obscure the logical fallacies in his earlier work. Mathis dismisses the theory’s claims of explaining physical laws in terms of possible tasks as nonsensical and an abuse of the concept of epistemology. He points to the lack of practical advancements in quantum computing over decades as evidence of its hollowness.
Mathis also extensively scrutinizes the funders of Deutsch’s work, including the Eutopia Foundation and the Economic Security Project. He alleges these entities are connected to shadowy organizations and individuals with ulterior motives, suggesting they are involved in manipulating treasuries through fake projects and aiming for the “extermination” of the middle class. He links these funders to institutions like the New School, Aspen Institute, and Roosevelt Institute, and prominent figures like Natalie Foster, Van Jones, George Soros, and McKinsey.
The article also critiques Gordon Moore and Intel Corporation, linking them to a history of antitrust issues and clandestine intelligence operations. Additionally, FQXi, Anthony Aquirre, and Max Tegmark are mentioned as funders, with Tegmark being accused of promoting information technology over genuine physics. The John Templeton Foundation is also scrutinized, with Mathis tracing Templeton’s supposed rise to wealth through dubious means and connecting him to powerful families and historical figures.
The author highlights Freeman Dyson as another example of a fraudulent scientist, dismissing his theories and suggesting his achievements were based on connections rather than merit. Mathis concludes by emphasizing the superiority of his own physics discoveries, particularly in nuclear architecture and charge channeling, over Deutsch’s “ergodic blather.” He portrays himself as a lone voice fighting against the decay of science and the corruption of truth. The article ends with a stark warning about the dangers of perverting life through reckless experimentation and the true threat posed by “evil biolabs” rather than AI.
