      A tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they’re drinking, they’re a very good tool.

        I think that’s the basic idea, but in practice it’s used for people who are just generally dumb as well.

          Well, when was the last time you looked at a hammer and thought “y’know, you’re pretty smart!”

      Tools are always useful. If its a good thing to (ab)use said tool depends on the tool and if its human or not :p
      … And the job for the tool ofc
