All of society is an arbitrary social construct, sorta by definition.
Just because something is socially constructed does not give a person living within that society the power to deconstruct it. That's where SBF's hubris distorts his reality. Society is an arbitrary social construct and social rules can change, but individual people (even ones who steal $9B) have little power to effect that change.
