A biological construction is not a human mind construct though because it's tangible and we can touch it like a chair. 

if we consider depth of construction, there might be no chair there, and no "there".

At some layer, the distinction stops mattering and you realize how you warp reality to perceive it.

How is intention/ consciousness warping quantum reality?

Nothing can be created or destructed, constructed or deconstructed, only transformed.

The substance that transforms itself from one form to another itself is not constructable or deconstructable. 

Construction and deconstruction are mere illusions. In reality all things are eternal and it has always existed.

The posts with X,Z,Y Jesus, Human Rigths etc being constructs seem like a new trend now. So the Golden Question is : What is not construction? 

What is or in other words isness , when you are not pointing at it with your defecient perception or linguistic pointers .

Consciousness is NOT a construct. 

" Something is nothing " is NOT a construct.

Perhaps another way to frame the discussion:

What is inherent and intrinsic to reality? What is itself?

But Leo says that it's a construct too. Even physical objects are constructed by our mind. (Btw, I am not conscious of it.)

What about your physical body and the water you drink and the oxygen you breathe? Is that a construct too?

Different layer of consciousness, just as much a construct.

God work constructing. If God was not into construction work we would not exist.

God's constructing itself, no different from us.

Who to be able to make a distinction? God cant make distinction, but wait, it can via You, since You are God making the distinction of being God or You making the construction.

That definition of God can't, another can. Non-duality is a paradigm of the same self/god that argues for its absoluteness.

That would be fucking real. But rigth now there is no Croc Snatching head, so this too is a construct, for now, future may get real.

You guys have a real bad sense of what a social construct is. A social construct is not just any old thing you imagine.

Contemplate.

What is not a construct... Look around you.

Look. Sense. Feel. Appearance and sensation aren't constructs.

Tall/short, hot/cold, loud/soft - constructs.

A change in any of those appearances is a construct in itself.

Direct experience = direct. Not a construct.

Change = thought/construct.

I had a go at contemplating.

For a thing to be a construction, it can only exist through mental work and maintenance.

A social construction are constructs that are collectively similar between minds.

A crocodile bites your head. You don't have to work to construct that. You just get bit. So not a construct.

Gender is partially constructed. The social games we play around gender are constructions. But the biological capabilities and genetic differences between the sexes are real. As a man, I can't construct a child through mental work only. If I could, then yeah gender would be a construct.

Economics is a social construction. It is purely conceptual, and a game played between minds. But since it is acted out it has consequences for people. It is a construction that can affect you.

A social or mental construction is concept. Sometimes that concept can be acted out and affect you in some way.

What is not a construction is what's happening now in the world that does not require mental work to exist. 'Physical' phenomena.
