Construction chip

A natcho chip, that has no garnish and firm enough to use as a scoop.
“Ayo, look at how much food my construction chip can hold, this is like a mountain!”

Construction Accidents Lawyers

If you have been injured on a construction site, whether you were working or not, you may still have a lawsuit against those who created the dangerous condition. When safety standards are not followed, equipment is poorly maintained, or job sites are not properly inspected, the risk of injuries at construction sites becomes high and you may have a case against several people o

meta construct

A place where you will most certainly lose your sanity.
If you wish to stick around here, you'll need to grow some extremely thick skin.
The people here can be quite relentless.
But, there is a light of hope - there are some sane, smart people here. They are however few and far between.
meta construct is a decent place to be
as long as you can handle losing your sanity

The perspective that technologies are not neutral tools with inevitable effects. They are built by people with specific values, assumptions, and worldviews embedded in their design. A social media algorithm isn't just code; it's a constructed technology that embodies theories about human attention, social interaction, and value (e.g., engagement = profit). These embedded constructions then shape user behavior, often reinforcing the very worldviews used to build them.
Example: "The dating app's 'matching algorithm' wasn't magic; it was a Theory of Constructed Technology in action. It was built on a model of human attraction as a checklist of preferences, which then taught users to see themselves and others as checklists. The technology didn't just find love; it constructed a new way of looking for it." Theory of Constructed Technologies

The sociological view that scientific knowledge, while aiming for objectivity, is inevitably a human construction shaped by social factors: funding priorities, institutional power, peer review culture, dominant paradigms, and even the personalities of leading scientists. This doesn't mean science is "just an opinion," but that the path to reliable knowledge is paved with social negotiations, controversies, and the gradual construction of consensus, not the simple revelation of pure nature.
Example: "Studying the Theory of Constructed Science, she saw the Nobel Prize not as a divine award for truth, but as the pinnacle of a construction process: decades of building a persuasive narrative, converting peers, winning grants, and marginalizing rival theories until one framework became the 'obvious' truth etched in textbooks."

The recognition that evidence is never neutral; it is always interpreted through a lens. A strand of hair is just a biological filament until a detective's theory of the crime constructs it as "evidence of the suspect's presence." A statistical correlation is just a number until an economist's model constructs it as "evidence for market manipulation." The theory comes first and dictates what counts as evidence and what that evidence means.
Example: "In the conspiracy forum, the same government press release was constructed as 'evidence of a cover-up' (because they'd admit that if it were true?) and as 'evidence of their brazen transparency' (to throw us off!). The Theory of Constructed Evidence shows the evidence itself was passive; the opposing theories did all the work."

Theory of Constructed Facts

The idea that even raw facts are not simply discovered, but are shaped by the theories, tools, and questions that produce them. A fact is a carefully carved slice of reality, and the carving tools are our interests, technologies, and linguistic categories. The fact "the patient has a fever of 102°F" is constructed by the concept of "fever," the Fahrenheit scale, and the reliability of the thermometer. Change any of those, and you get a different fact. Facts are theory-laden.
Example: "The archaeologist explained the Theory of Constructed Facts: 'We say we 'found' a ceremonial dagger. But that fact was constructed the moment we decided to call it a 'dagger' and not 'scrap metal,' and 'ceremonial' instead of 'utilitarian.' The dirt gave us an object; we gave it a story that became a fact in our textbook.'"
