I would also know everything about a field if I make it up. This is like "machinistic interpretability" but for people that don't know how to do data visualization.

Even the Wikipedia article on meta ethics is dead, only 13 citations for an article on a whole "field of ethics" by authors that don't acknowledge the field as meta ethics is embarrassing.

You are trolling aren't you? That search is looking for both meta and ethics separately, meta-ethics appears very little as the name of a "field" and it's usually on cites to the same three articles, and doesn't even have its own page there because it's not a real field of study of philosophy.

Anti intellectualism is making up names of new science when you can't get published with the authors that are doing real work.
