Garth Ray, a U1 philosophy student, has recently acquired Internet attention for his controversial claim that he understands the world, and knows how to fix its problems.

Ray says a Tumblr post that describes “only the tip of the piñata” of his revolutionary theory has been reblogged over 25 times. “That’s more than any other original content on my Tumblr,” said Ray of his website, which features Instagram pictures and grocery lists in addition to posts discussing philosophy.

The student described his theory as a “new type of -ology, somewhere between eschatology and epistemology and probably ontology too.”

Ray said he is considering dropping out of McGill’s philosophy program because it is moving too slowly to keep up with his newly-developed theories. 

“The lectures weren’t updated to include the personal model of reality I developed,” Ray said. “That’s a real indicator of McGill’s so-called quality.”

The student expressed no concern over the future course of his education in the event of his leaving McGill.

However, Ray did express some concern that his theories may be too advanced for the world to understand. 

“I realized that after I got a C on my last philosophy paper,” Ray said. “It’s obvious that the professor, who’s supposedly highly educated, and who I won’t name out of peer respect, just didn’t get where I was coming from. I’m too intersectional.”

Ray is dismissive of the negative feedback he’s received in the form of comments on his blog in addition to his poor grades. He said the negative attitude is a defensive tactic generated out of fear, and it’s a downside that all the great minds of history have had to contend with.

He suggested that people read up thoroughly on Wikipedia and Timecube.com in order to prepare to live in an intellectual world dominated by his “groundbreaking metaphysics.”
