The value provided by diversification has been greatly exaggerated. Compare investing in a couple of quality coins that steadilyly grow with investing in 100 coins. It's also much easier to buy/sell at optimal times when you have to focus on not that many things.

> But diversification leads to increased protection
Not really a lot, when things go to shit they usually go to shit together. Pic related, a diverse portfolio isn't actually too helpful there.

> But I'll miss trading opportunities
And that's okay because when you try to make a trading play you'll have good reasons to get into it instead of throwing darts blindly at a dartboard feeling comfy because 5% of your investments went 10X without noticing all the bags you got married to.

The key word here is mostly, there is a semi-objective system of classification of human races, but what are understood to be races by the general public today is constructed by culture and history.
For exemple, a lot of americans would call greeks, swedish and portugese "white people" while calling iranians, indians and mexicans "brown people".
This classification of people, the idea that russians and spaniards are from the same race while spaniards and riffians are from two different races, is only vaguely based on genetic realities and is mostly a cultural thing.
As of today the closer thing we have to an objective classification of races is:
>caucasoids
>negroids
>mongoloids
>aboos
with a lot of intersections and subtilities (for exemple most mexicans are a mix of caucasoid and mongoloid).

Everything is a social construct. A "social construct" is a social construct. You have probably confused a social construct with a continuum because you are stupid. The biological reality of genetic diversity exists, the social construct of race is created to categorize this biological reality. As understanding of genetics and populations changes, the categories may change. All Taxonomic ranks are social constructs based on mostly subjective criteria. The only "hard" rule is the "can the two organisms breed with each other" rule, and even then, most taxonomists will categorize animals as different species when they can breed fertile offspring (such as Polar bears and brown bears).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(biology)
"What does or does not belong to a family—or whether a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, or any taxa. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions of taxa, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. Some described taxa are accepted broadly and quickly, but others only rarely, if at all; the publishing of new data and opinion often enables adjustments and consensus over time."

Do you deny the entire concept of taxonomy?

"you need objective categories, that can never change, ever, at any time in the future, otherwise the whole concept is invalid" is a demand only ever made with regards to human races and nothing else in the entirety of science.

Where did I said that I was against the existence of racial classifications? The fact that I proposed one while aknowleging it's imperfection should have been enough to make you understand that for me merely calling a classification a social construct is not a critic.

A scientific category is valid if it helps us conduct science. You are incapable of understanding the subjectivity of scientific categories as being valid.

Despite skin color, South Indian Dravidians do have skulls that are more similar to Lebanese than Australian Aboriginies, thus that classification was scientific.
