Superultramodern Scientism (SSism) by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSI
Superultramodern Scientism (SSism) is Scientism of Superultramodern Science (SS). Without SSism, SS would be seen as a philosophy instead of science. SSism agrees with the definition of Science as a systematic body of knowledge. More systematic a body of knowledge is the more scientific it is.
SSism is essentially based on its critique of logical positivism as well as falsificationism and the principle of universal doubt. :
1. Critique of logical positivism -
Logical positivism is a doctrine that if some theory ( that is supposed to be speaking about the nature of physical /material reality ) is not verifiable then it is meaningless or absurd. SSism states that the meaning of a theory has nothing to do with its verifiabitlity but rather the nature of concepts it involves. ( This is axiomatic. )
2. Critique of logical falsificationism -
Logical falsificationism is a doctrine that if some theory ( that is supposed to be speaking about the nature of physical / material reality ) is not falsifiable then it is unscientific. Thus it is instead metaphysical, if at all meaningful. SSism states that falsifiability of a theory has nothing to do with its being scientific. (This is axiomatic.)
3. The principle of universal doubt -
It is the principle that 'anything may be possible' for what is believed to be 100 % certain at the moment may be because of the limited intellectual capacities of the believer. This suggests that no part / kind of science (including pure mathematics) is to be seen as absolutely certain. Thus the idea of science reduces to the idea of systematic body of knowledge where each group or proposition has its own probability attached to it.
Superultramodern Science (SS) =
1. Superultramodern Scientism ( SSism )
2. The NSTP ( Non - Spatial Thinking Process ) Theory
3. Conmathematics ( Conceptual Mathematics )
4. The FR ( Flawed Reason ) Theory
5. The FMUP ( Flawed Modern / Ultramodern Physics ) Theory
The word philosophy, as it is distinguished from science, is misleading, as it means what philosophy contains is impossible to be a systematic body of knowledge and what science contains is certain or proved.

ROS ( Rehabilitation of Occult Sciences ) : Astrology, Numerology, Telepathy by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSIROS ( Rehabilitation of Occult Sciences ) is a component of Superultramodern Science (SS). Through the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory and other components of SS, like Superultramodern Scientism (SSism), sciences ( which, at present, are not generally regarded as sciences ) like astrology, numerology, telepathy could be rehabilitated (or scientifically supported).

Superultramodern Ethical / Aesthetical Relativism (SEAR) by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSI According to Superultramodern Ethical/Aesthetical Relativism (SEAR) nothing is absolutely good or bad (or beautiful or ugly), but, as Shakespeare said, thinking makes it so. The novelty in SEAR is its foundations. A thinks C (say an idea) is good while B thinks C is bad. Now it seems that there can be no logical or conceptual criteria to determine if A, for example, is right or wrong. The law of syllogism ( if...

The FMUP ( Flawed Modern / Ultramodern Physics ) Theory : Superultramodern Physics (SP) by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSIThe FMUP theory states that modern ( and ultramodern, as extremely modern ) physics is flawed, not absolutely but quite considerably. Following is a list (not necessarily exclusive) of those flaws with brief descriptions. [ The flaws are then resolved with the NSTP ( i.e. non - spatial mechanical ) framework, forming Superultramodern Physics. ] 1. Space - Time Entanglement -Space...
•The FR ( Flawed Reason ) Theory
The FR ( Flawed Reason ) Theory by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSI FR ( Flawed Reason ) theory is a theory that reason itself is ultimately flawed. That is, at some point Reason breaks down. It is not just a matter of human reason but Reason itself. FR theory, at least at this stage, does not say that it is certain ( 100 % or 99.99...% taking the principle of ‘anything may be possible into account ) that Reason is flawed. Rather it is supposed to be probable ( considering the secretive and awesome...

It is important to note that solution to a problem does not mean that it’s supposed to be the absolute solution or something 100 % certain. Nothing, according to the principle of universal doubt, is believed...
