They're a framework we invented to talk about reality in a coherent fashion. A so-so analogy might be gravity - the law of universal gravitation is a human construct to describe an observed phenomenon.

That’s what I thought as well. It was a few years back, so I’m not sure if his position has evolved since then. It’s a loaded question in the first place to ask “where the laws of logic come from.” It’s akin to when creationists ask “if there’s no god, then who created everything?”
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
