    If you want to dive into that sort of thing i recomend looking into social constructivist theory, nuts to realise just how much of everything we live our lives by is really a product of people agreeing to do so rather than any struct objective measure.

      Money and time are two big ones. They both mean so much to humans but we’re the only ones that have ascribed that value to them.

      Exactly, like crypto for example, it has no real world value (in fact it has negative real world value) and the only thing that makes it valuable is that enough people believe it has value.
