“Sure socks are a social construct, but so are the things that let you eat ice cream, watch your favorite streaming service, or play your favorite video game. In fact the only non-social construct actions you involve yourself in are eating, sleeping, and expelling bio waste. Even those you seem to have no problem follow the social rules around. If you’d like to abandon society and escape into nature free of the bounds of social constructs, you’re welcome to do that when you’re 18 and can afford enough to buy a plane ticket to Fairbanks, Alaska. Until then, you have to put on your socks.”

Dying by exposure to the nature or elements is very natural. Living a long and healthy life is a social construct.
