    Technically aren’t a lot of things just societal concepts if you think hard enough about them?

      Sort of. Theres maybe something to things that naturally exist, whether we name them or not. We didnt create beavers in the same way we did money.

      I strongly recommend Sapiens: a short story of humanity by Yuval Harari if you’d like to think about this a bit more, particulary his concept of ‘myths’.

      I’d guess that you’d find a summary of that chapter online without buying the whole book.
