Everything we 'think' is a construct, including the concept of humanity itself.
What's profoundly ironic is the number of times I've read threads like this one where people belittle others for constructing meaning in their lives, when every single shred of knowledge they have about themselves and their relation to their world is an artefact of others' construction of knowledge (science, whatever), which they have learnt and selectively chosen to employ in coming to their meaningful decision that nothing is meaningful.
I mean, fuck me with a pointy asteroid. The light doesn't get much dimmer than this.
Hmm.
