Identity too! That's like the most important one I think. A lot of our worst behavior is in service of these completely made up identities which none-the-less help us secure access to resources.

I heard someone talking about how a lot of our rituals are these imaginary actions we take to reify these imaginary but vital institutions like identities and nation states.

Made up things are consequential.

Sometimes

All those things operate on Tinkerbell logic:

currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy

They can all be thrown away in an instance if people (for whatever reason) don't fight for them.

There will always be people who fight against those things, and people that don't give a fuck too. But we always have to have enough willing to fight for them, the % necessary just fluctuates.

Exacly this, all of pur societally functioning things are based on our exceptance of enforcing rules upon purselves. Without laws, you can't have human rights.
