Here's the cool thing: each tool you build this way is a Function You Once Could Not Perform. The tool isn't "the thing that does x," it's the relationship of its own features to the features of the object it acts on. Understand your tools like this & your competencies generalize

If I were to assess what our education system actually does, I would not come to the conclusion it tries to min/max for building competencies. Daycare, + Sorting Hat to kind of sort of steer people to appropriate sectors that actually build competencies. Not an endorsement.
