However, the likes of business are literally constructs that do not exist apart from the action of beings such as humans (or any other logically possible group that hypothetically exists). The world is the material substance outside of one's mind, either in the sense of the singular planet/locale or the entire cosmos. Whatever matter exists is "the real world," although only a fool believes that they can know that the world of matter really is as it visibly appears. It does not logically follow from the nature of almost all sensory perception, and certainly not from the mental experience of sight or sound, that there is anything beyond one's mind which is physical, metaphysically distinct, and exactly as perceived.
Not only is the "world" of business invented and subject to any human-instigated change which is logically possible, meaning it cannot be the "real world" in any sort of foundational sense, but except through a single logical proof, there is no way for a human to even know that there is any sort of external world at all [1]. Either way, to assume that there is a material world because there appears to be one is stupidity, yet a form of stupidity that many non-rationalists seem to easily fall into. The "real world" is just the world as it really is, and very little can actually be demonstrated (by logic) about the world.
Now, logic is the grounding of truth itself, which is itself true independent of everything else because of self-necessity, which in turn makes it epistemologically self-evident. One ramification of this is that logic exists because the opposite is impossible, with or without anything else. It is neither physical matter, which does not have to exist, nor a social/mental construct, which only exists if a conscious being creates it or sets it up. Yet it is independent of the "world", which can only exist in the first place because this is logically possible.
How many people ever discover the supreme independence and centrality of the laws of logic at even the most basic level, that of inherent truth and epistemological self-evidence? Not many, it would appear! Yet some of them are quick to confuse something invented by humans as if it is the most foundational or important aspect of reality! What delusional, inept thinkers they are, desperate to achieve success by their society's arbitrary standard, one irrelevant to the truth about the actual layers of reality money, business, and other sociological constructs and practices stand upon.
Likewise, there is nothing supremely foundational about the actual external world and whatever laws of physics really operate beyond the veil of perception. Electrons, molecules, soil, vegetation, and so on, along with "laws" like gravitational attraction (really, they are often just the behaviors of material substances under given conditions as opposed to anything separate and transcendent) are secondary at best to the laws of logic, which depend on nothing else. Not even God can create or undo what cannot be false! Despite all of this, the natural world, to the extent that it exists outside of one's consciousness, constitutes the real world. Social constructs of the sort like commerce and traffic customs are contrived inventions that, while not logically false concepts like other social constructs (including racial stereotypes), in no way reflect nature itself.
