Guns are also tools. This is why we need gun control in the US & why other countries have already figured out it’s not worth it. You can use it to feed yourself, but it’s being loaded with hollow point bullets & it’s unregulated. As long as we’re using metaphors. Tools are what they are used to do.

Gun control opinions aside, yes, this is the point. Not everyone needs every tool. But if you're going to use a tool, you should know how to use it or go in knowing you're still learning it and not blame the tool if you can't use it right.

So you just don't give a shit about material reality in this discussion? People by and large will not learn how to use this tech "the right way" and people are already causing harm to the world and themselves by using it wrong. Your argument kinda turns flaccid at that point.

Your argument is putting the entire burden of doing the right thing on the consumer. That's like saying that if manufacturers didn't make EVs, it would be on the consumer to build EVs themselves to avoid burning gas. Your entire argument is moot.
