Comment on The people who first invented tools had to invent inventing tools without tools.

Inventing tools to invent other tools is not hard. I can make an axe and then use that to make a tanning station in a day.

Reproducibility and scale is the issue. Making the SAME axe at volume is difficult. You need to heavily standardise your source materials and there just aren’t that many flat-shaped rocks out there.

  With the sharpest and shiniest axe I can make, and then I’ll reflect the sun’s beams onto people’s butts
