As long as they do more good than harm (no harm would be preferred) and they are intended to improve life and not make it more difficult etc. And as long as they are always considered constructs (and not confused with original territory). As I see it, we became slaves to the constructs much like one becomes slave to religion. And just as I cannot participate in a religion I do not believe in, neither do I feel any satisfaction from participating in a society I do not believe in. I guess that is what I am saying. It has nothing to do with constructs, but with the way they are constructed, maintained and believed in.
What's with this switch to 'good' and 'harm'? You can always try to sound clever by referring to stuff you like as 'good' and stuff you don't like as 'harm'. If you already know something is a 'construct', then maybe 'good' and 'harm' are also constructs when referring to it. Different strokes for different folks, and all.

It keeps your mind off your troubles, though, you have to admit. I recommend taking a class, even if its on Kabballah, regardless of whether or not you 'believe in it'. Your task, rationally, is to figure out how the professor wants you to answer her questions.
You and Andrew4Handel should get together and compare notes on how grim life is in, you know, reality.
