Tuning system wackery

Here's someone who believes that A=440 is a bad idea, not because they like baroque instruments, or because Verdi knew singer's ranges best, but because "432hz vibrates/oscillates on the principals of natural harmonic wave propagation and unifies with the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity and electromagnetism." Um. Okay. But even that makes sense, as compared to this maker of a microtonal keyboard, who somehow mixes Pythagoras, chakra/pitch identification, Georg Cantor, Egyptian pyramids and 666 together in search of a tuning system.
