The comprehensive view that everything human beings experience, know, and value is constructed—not discovered, not given, not inevitable. Knowledge is constructed. Science is constructed. Reality is constructed. Self is constructed. Meaning is constructed. God is constructed. The Theory of Constructed Everything doesn't claim that nothing exists independently—it claims that everything we have access to is accessed through construction, shaped by construction, constituted by construction. This isn't nihilism—it's the opposite. If everything is constructed, then everything is our responsibility. We built it; we can rebuild it. There's no appeal to nature, no escape to the given, no hiding in the inevitable. It's all us, all the way down.
"You want something that's not constructed, something purely natural, purely given? Theory of Constructed Everything says: sorry. Everything you touch, think, love, and fear is built—by evolution, by culture, by you. That's not despair—that's responsibility. If it's all constructed, then it's all up to us. Build carefully."
