    Just because something is a social construct doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing to be ignored.

    Being alive is a social construct. Humans decided that some things counted as alive, and other things did not. Nature doesn’t care if a bunch of chemical reactions are happening inside a cell, or in a glass tube. It has no objective definition of “alive”.

    He’s also very particular about the factory and the chocolate it makes. Candy with a hint of gloop sounds about as appealing as Gloop fudge, and Wonka may just chuck out the whole batch.

    Wonka didn’t defy the laws of reality just so he could cut corners in the factory.
