It’s only strange in the forced misreading of the meme you’re using
As op already clarified - the point isnt that tools have no influence over behavior, only that the behavior isn’t a deterministic one implied by those invoking Heidegger or Lorde
Influence being nondeterministic doesn’t make it less real. If a certain intervention has a 1% chance of producing a specific behavior, then across a large enough population you will see the behavior increase by exactly 1%.
Individual choice is real. But so are the impacts of cultural artifacts.
