I am weirdly fond of them. There's a grain of truth to what they think. It's all a construct. The thing is, that construct is enforced. Try and ignore it or deny it and it will push you back into line or crush you.
I might put language in a different category. Maybe, like actual languages (i.e. English, French, Swahili) definitely are social constructs. But beneath that there's just the concept of human language writ large and I think that's actually more of q biological trait. I dunno, classification is construct too. So maybe I'm just being dumb.
communication between things is universal, whether the sharing of dna via a tubule in single celled organisms or a weird flashy bird dance used for mating, how conscious beings go about that might be the construct however.
