I don't think any of this stuff is very meaningful or useful, but the title seems particularly cheeky.
The whole point of that catchphrase "shut up and calculate!" was supposed to be "stop speculating about things we can't prove or disprove and wouldn't have any direct impact on us if we could; focus on crunching the numbers and figuring out what's effective."
This whole "mathematical universe" thing seems like practically the definition of premature speculation! It's no more useful than ancient Greek philosophers speculating on the nature of the elements. Those other people over there drawing circles in the sand, now, they're getting somewhere.
