He's a joke desu senpai. He's a wannabe pseudo-intellectual. It should be obvious enough since Gladwell seemed to hold him in gigh regard.

Some bum who claims to be the smartest man alive. Look at his paper for "CTMU" (a nonsensical theory that purports to prove the existence of God.)

Imagine that kid who wouldn't shut in your Freshman intro to philosophy course. Same thing, only he's ten times more insufferable, dropped out of college, and claims he's the smartest man alive ever.

He has a naturally high intellectual capacity but with little formal education. Though his work reflects a lot of thought put in, it reads as though he's ignorant of the relevant scientific lit. On top of that, he believes in a personal god of the Christian variety if I'm not mistaken, but he's not entirely religious..
Not to put down people with that background, they're often much more scientifically literate than most scientists. But given what belief in a personal a western God will do to your perspective on science, and given the fact he's had no formal education, he's in no position whatsoever to credibly contest the entire community.
It's a fun possibility to play with, but people who are convinced he's right probably have no idea what they're talking about. He's gotten more than enough coverage to be read by enough intelligent people who so far have stayed pretty quite about him.
