      I am not saying its not real. I am saying its a human construct. Just like laws, religion, culture, nations.

      They are created by us and dynamically evolve with our needs. We have full control over how they work and can overhaul them entirely.

      For example, you may have heard how money used to be backed by physical gold, but then we abandoned that in 1971 and now its backed by nothing. Its simply changing the rules as needed.

      Another overhaul is long overdue. The issue is that we rarely agree on how or what to change and that the choices are almost always made by centralized powers.
