The conspiracy against the making of a single thing

Most people I know do not know how to make a single useful thing. Not a chair, not a lamp, not a stove, let alone a house or a toilet. Basic things. That is odd, since we use these things all the time, let alone the bunch of useless things we use. Why is it that nobody knows how to make a single useful thing? It cannot simply be that we are all dumb. There must be a bigger reason if it is such a widespread thing. It is because we do not need to know, since things are made for us in big long and complex processes of thing-making where parts of things are made somewhere and other parts somewhere else, and then they are put together as things in yet another place. Then it is very convenient for the pro-Thing forces that we are so useless at making things, since we will then depend on them for all the things we do need!
Since part of what is necessary for no more things to exist is to stop the massive making of things, and since the MMT feeds from our not knowing how to make things, a key step in stopping new things is learning how to make things.
So the paradox is: if we want to stop things, we must learn how to make things.
