Radical Constructivism and Daily Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpWbUWroPuA

I came across this video of Ernst von Glasersfeld talking about how radical constructivism impacts one's daily life. This was interesting to me because, as I read "An Introduction to Radical Constructivism", I wondered how a radical constructivist would operate in his/her daily life. I wonder how someone who believes believes that their knowledge doesn't necessarily reflect any empirical facts of the world can go to school, get a job, or even have a conversation with someone. That is why I was interested in this video, in which Ernst von Glaserfeld says that radical constructivism can improve one's daily life. He explains that a radical constructivist doesn't care if someone else agrees with them. They are content believing what they believe without trying to persuade other people to agree with them. I wonder what other benefits radical constructivism might offer to one's daily life? What obstacles does a radical constructivist face in his/her daily life?
