Abstract :
This paper begins by reviewing our earlier
and older paper on the certainty uncertainty principle
which was published by us early in the year 2023, and by
also examining its basic and fundamental postulates. We
also then proceed to summarize our paper on racism and
the ‘Comprehensive sociocultural persecution complex’
which was postulated as a logical extension and a
practical application of the aforesaid certainty
uncertainty principle for the social sciences. We also
propose and examine other possible extensions of the
certainty uncertainty principle such as the examination
of the Flynn effect, the idea of qualified historiography,
and the out of Africa theory, the multiregional
hypothesis for the origin of anatomically modern
humans, besides several others. We also present and
propose a formula for attempting probabilistic
approaches for hypothesis evaluation, and evaluate and
recommend techniques for evaluating strength or
weaknesses of evidence. We also correlate this paper
with our various previous papers as necessary, and
propose the principle and canon of non self-canceling
contradictory evidence. We also hope and expect that
this approach would not only constitute a logical
extension of the certainty uncertainty principle, but also
would be of some use in promoting the cause of rigorous
and exacting science.
