Evolutionary Anthropology, Paleontology and Genetics do not support the idea of the development or existence of "races" with essential qualities. The science does support the existence of alternate species of human, something altogether different.

The Social Construction of Race and Gender: "The social construction of race is a sociological concept that holds that the category of race is defined in language and culture rather than objective or biological fact (Gergen, 2015)."

Meta-Positivism is the 2020's negation of the excessive application of 1990's Post-Positivism.

Post-Positive Theory was the post-structuralist deconstruction of Classic Enlightment Liberalism.

The Ideology of Liberal Identity Politics is one of the applied products of Post-Positivism; as are its more recent derivatives in the form of Intersectionality, Trans, Critical Race Theory and WOKEism.

Post-Positivist Theory was premised upon a tacit rejection of Marxism and Classical Liberalism.

Meta-Positivism rejects the premises of Post-Positivist radicalism.

I incorporate themes and concepts derived from both Marxism and Austrian Economics in polemics against Liberal Identity Politics.

I am critical of the excessive (obsessive?) application of post-positivist epistemology:

"Post-positivists believe that human knowledge is based not on a priori assessments from an objective individual, but rather upon human conjectures."

(A conjecture is a proposition that is proffered on a tentative basis without proof.)

I share the following post-positivist premise when it comes to History & Historiography:

"Postpositivists believe that a reality exists, but, unlike positivists, they believe reality can be known only imperfectly."
