Perhaps you could clarify why you feel it is urgent?

I agree that if this theory is correct it is of tremendous importance--but I'm not sure I see why it is more urgent than any other scientific theory.

The only thing I can see is the "understanding cognition in order to build AI" angle and I'm not sure that understanding human cognition specifically is a required step in that.
