In this humorous and satirical piece, the author explores the concept of a “Universal Hammer” and the progression of tools in the modern world. The author highlights the frustration of having to buy and maintain multiple types of hammers for different tasks, leading to the idea of a universal hammer that can do it all. However, it is quickly concluded that such a hammer would not be effective for any specific task. The narrative then turns to the idea of hammer factories and factory-building factories, which eventually evolves into a tool-building factory factory factory. The author pokes fun at the complexity and absurdity of this concept, ultimately suggesting that a high-quality spice rack requires more advanced tools.
