The relative and construcitivist in me would be inclined to argue that absolutely everything is of human construct. However, I do not believe in superiority of the human race or that we possess the "power" and capabilities to produce such complex structures and concepts. Wouldn't we understand everything if we created it all? To address, the direct name and implications of the Constructing Reality course, I quote Philip K. Dick: "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." However, mankind as a whole has chosen to accept mind over matter and in that way, a distorted view has been created which can only be disentangled through accumulation of knowledge through observation, experience, and more questions.
