Almost everything about tool, machine, and product design in history has been an increase in the force-multiplication of an individual's labor and decision making vs the environment. Now with Universal Machine ubiquity and a market with rich rewards for its perverse incentives, products and tools are being built which force-multiply the designer's will absolutely, even at the expense of the owner's force of will. This and widespread automated surveillance are dangerous encroachments on our autonomy!

I mean then build your own tools.

Simply put the last time we (as in humans) had full self autonomy was sometime we started agriculture. After that point the idea of ownership and a state has permeated human society and have had to engage in tradeoffs.
