Andie: "Tools are good to have but not to be. A tool is used and lacks agency of its own. That is not a virtue in a human being."

[WS:] It is true only within the framework of individualistic ideology, for which, to follow on Doug's remark, humanity stops at the end of one's dick . Outside that ideology, people may pride themselves in being tools or instruments of some greater powers - be it deity, history, nation, popular will, or organization.
