Did YOU get the point? Maybe Medicine and Physics and Law shouldn't be so complicated also?

Medicine and physics are not purely human constructs tho.

the universe and how it changes over time isn't a human construct, but physics is, one that tries to describe the universe and how it changes over time at a certain level of complexity. same for medicine, except that the human body is actually a human construct ;)

If you figure out how to make physics simpler and still be accurate, the physicists would definitely like to hear it.

The human body is merely (re)produced by humans, whereas with "construct" here we mean the design of things (which, in the body's case would be, e.g. nature, evolution, etc).
