I'm a GA researcher. I did this livestream of my reaction to the article

TLDR it is quite a bad article. One of the closest thing he has to a real argument is "I don't like it when geometric objects are identified with operators, I want those to be separate things". But this is both anti-GA and anti-Lie-Theory. As he says, he is critical of mathematics as conventionally practiced. So be warned that if you find yourself disliking GA for anything like the reasons he dislikes GA, there's a lot of other (mainstream/prestigious) fields you dislike too.
