This tries hard to sound deep, but it's nonsense. There's a very big difference between someone who can just swing a hammer and a carpenter. Saying that the two are the same because they both use a tool someone else made is absurd.

Not only that but there's a difference between someone who can make the tools they use but doesn't for reasons like efficiency or practicality and the kind of people who can't make the tools they use but won't or the people who will never be able to make the tools they use.
