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 p implies q and q implies r then p implies r ), for example, is logically true in the sense that one ( at least I ) has to think ( apart from the principle of universal doubt ) that it is true and if someone thinks it to be false then it is his/her inability to see the truth in the law of syllogism or, more importantly, to understand what the law of syllogism states or the concepts it involves. So the principles like the law of syllogism are supposed to be eternal as they cannot be otherwise. They have to be the way they are forever, regardless of individual minds. However, this does not apply to ethical judgments, as one can reasonably think otherwise. The concepts good and bad allow far more flexibility, and if one, for example, thinks that it is good to hurt others for one’s own pleasure, this thinking involves no conceptual contradiction, as that is the way that person defines the concept of goodness. And how can there be any logical/conceptual/reasonable restriction on how one defines goodness or badness ? In case of the law of syllogism once we are clear about the terms p, q, r, and implication, the truth cannot logically/conceptually/ reasonably be denied. Ethical concepts are thus vague concepts. Concepts like implication, on the other hand, are concrete or clear. ( It is a different thing that if we mean to call dog, for example, as implication then it is a mere attaching of the label ‘implication’ to the concept of dog as ‘dog’ is also nothing but a label attached to some concept. )
In this particular world majority of people more or less agree on ethical definitions because their minds are constructed that way ( i.e. Programs are created to generate appropriate states of consciousness.) In the NSTP ( Non - Spatial Thinking Process ) theoretical terms if the non - spatial universal program is changed people would disagree or think different way/s.
SEAR is a component of Superultramodern Science (SS).
The Founder as well as the President of British Superultramodern Scientific Institution (BSSI)

•Superultramodern Scientism (SSism)
Superultramodern Scientism (SSism) by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSISuperultramodern 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....

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).

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...
