This podcast episode examines how societies create shared understandings and rules. It differentiates between brute facts, which exist independently of human perception, and social constructs, which are built upon collective agreement. These constructs, like language, money, and governments, shape our reality. The resource explores how ambiguity and misalignment between constructs and brute facts can lead to societal challenges. It analyses the nature of agreement, whether implicit or explicit, in shaping these constructs. The podcast source also offers reading recommendations and assignments to encourage critical thinking about the social constructs we often take for granted.
