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

Countries, slut shaming, office hours, time zones, dress codes...

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.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely have to check it out sometime. :D

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.
