The founder of post-science disagrees with most scientific research and practices. They argue that peer review should be replaced by forward-looking valuation of projects based on future expectations. Additionally, social and life sciences are not empirically verifiable due to involving infinity. Post-science identifies the three most relevant problems as financial crises, complexity crises, and permanent life.

Science ispilinguptechnologytocause complexity criseswithpartiallyautomatedsolutions,whichneedtobe manuallyupdated). I am the founderof post-science,knowledge beyondscience,and,therefore,Idisagree withmostof scientificresearchandpractices. First,the backward-lookingpeerreview processshouldbe replacedby forward-lookingvaluationof the projectbasedonfuture expectations. Andthe review processshould involve onlythe validityof the expectations,whichare the inputstothe valuation,whichissolvedby post-science (http://infinitespreadsheet.com;http://postscience.com/ispatent.pdf). A trulyoriginal idea shouldhave nopeers. I stronglyrecommendthatNSFwill reviewproposalslike the patentoffice,which shouldalsoconverttoa quantitative valuation,insteadof itscurrentqualitative meritsystembasedon utility. Second,social andlifesciencesinvolveinfinity,whichneverarrives,and,therefore,these sciencesare notsubjectto empirical verification. Third,post-science identifiesthatthe 3 mostrelevant problemsare 1. Financial crises, 2.Complexitycrises, 3.PermanentLife. Forexample,today¡¯s economicproblemisnolongerproductivity,butdistribution,andthe lasttwofinancial criseswere causedby the over-productionof real estates. Science iscontributingtoproductivity,whichcontributes to financial crises. Andscientificprogressiscontributingtocomplexity. Today¡¯stechnologyisrestingon a partiallyautomatedfoundation,andscience ispilinguppartiallyautomatedsolutions,whichwillneed permanentmanual handling. Forexample,almostall the software budgetisallocatedforupdating legacysoftware;there isalreadyasoftware complexitycrisis. The solutiontounlimitedcomplexityis complete automation,which issolvedbypost-science (http://postscience.com/pspatent.pdf, http://humanlanguageprogramming). Post-science isstartingapost-science knowledge revolution. Ihope NSFwill contribute. Pleaseemail me at: post.science@yahoo.com. Thankyou.
