people say that "a computer is just a tool," or, "science is just a tool."
well, sure, but a new tool is an innovation is a mutation.
which of the following tools doesn't affect the identities
of those who use it?
a mitochondreon is just a tool
a nucleus is just a tool
sex is just a tool
gluing cells together is just a tool
neurons are just a tool
spinal columns are just a tool
lungs are just a tool
hands are just a tool
speech is just a tool
democracy is just a tool
money is just a tool
writing is just a tool
a house is just a tool
clothing is just a tool
facial expressions are just a tool
the sentences "are we not men?" and "smash the machine!" are just tools
all the parts of our bodies and minds, languages, customs, symbols and
relationships are just tools.
