FAQs About Reality contains all of Christopher Langan's answers to questions posted on Quora during the years he was active, 2016-2019. Langan was banned from Quora for his conservative worldview and uncompromising debate style. Although Langan never broke Quora's rules or violated its terms of service, he was summarily deplatformed without warning. All of his posts were deleted or orphaned. With the help of members of the Mega Foundation and CTMU Community, the majority of his work on Quora was preserved in this volume. Excerpts from this title is available on Chris Langan's Patreon for subscribers and a hyperlinked version will be available to all subscribers in May.
Christopher Michael Langan is a noted independant researcher and reality theorist whose extraordinary intellect has not prevented him from living a rough, unsheltered, and excitling life. He is best known for his groundbreaking theory of reality, the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU).
Challenged from early childhood by extreme poverty and inadequate schooling, after working as a cowboy, firefighter, construction worker, and bar bouncer in various nightclubs throughout the New York metropolitan area, he came to the attention of the media in 1999 for combining one of the world's highest IQs (estimated ~195-210) with limited formal education. He was described by some journalists as "the smartest man in America" or "in the world".
Having conducted original investigations in the fields including logic, mathematics, physics, cosmology, biology, philosophy, language theory, theology, economics, and the cognitive sciences, he has contributed articles on such topics to a number of scholarly journals and alternative intellectuals perdiodicals.
An excellent and informative book; I have particularly enjoyed the answers related to mathematics, science, philosophy, and of course CTMU. If you want to better understand the author's worldview, it's a highly recommended read.
