Well done! 
But let's try to examine the geometric shape of "imperialistic" positivism rationally and qualitatively.
Assuming that consciousness refers to relation of self-reference, and that science is a dynamic process of self-correction in dialogue between systems and their environment, then it seems obvious that self-correction is not possible without introspective methodologies of self-referentiality. Thus in terms of ability to self-correct, positivist rejection of introspection and intuition becomes in fact anti-scientific ideological attitude not unlike religious dogmatism. Rejection of consciouss self-reference and self-correction and dogmatical attitude towards propositional claims leads to "imperialistic" projection of dogmatic belief systems and mechanistically repetitive behavior to environment instead of evolutionally sound self-corrective adaptation to constantly changing environment and dynamical interaction.
The positivist attitude that rejects introspection and practicis only extrospective projection considering nature and environment nothing but objects is in deed 'supernatural' positioning of the positivist subject over nature instead of participatory relation, as the self-corrective and adaptive consciouss relation of dynamic interactive participation in and with environment is forgotten and denied.
