In the beginning was the tool, and the tool was the world.

In the beginning was the tool, and the tool was the world. The world was with us and we were the world.

Seeing the world was a tool, we said to each other, “Aren’t we clever?” and immediately forgot what we were doing. In case we got in trouble.

Some say, to their credit, they remember themselves, but then, immediately forget the world.

And there we are.
