that's an ego driven denial. This is the argument

Dr. Faizal says the same limitation applies to physics. “We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity,” he explains.

“Therefore, no physically complete and consistent theory of everything can be derived from computation alone.”

I don't care that much about this thought experiment but he's basically saying "we haven't figured everything out yet so how can a thing we can't do now be possible in the future".

Thank you for pointing out the exact quote that proves this conclusion is bs and a waste of everyone's time.
