Finnish brain researcher Mattie Bergström warned that those who's hands are left untrained will be left "values damaged," and what he meant by that is that they will be left without the full and normal range of human values, and incapable of perceiving the deeper meaning of things.
Values like care for the natural environment, historic preservation, art, craftsmanship and real love for each other will ring hollow for those who've been sequestered from engagement in life though the development of skills hands-on.
I am reminded of the Bonwit-Teller Building in New York, that was torn down to build the Trump Tower.

John Barron (really Donald Trump with his voice poorly disguised) claimed that the Art Deco sculptures Donald Trump had previously vowed to preserve, were "without artistic merit." The saving of the sculptures, previously promised to the Metropolitan Museum (where they were thought to have profound artistic merit) was delaying construction, so Trump had them destroyed. Those sculptures were conceived by artists and carved by craftsmen, and were to be welcomed and preserved by the Met, but did that matter? It would have to a man cognizant of the full range of human values.
Those Bergström described as "values damaged" are lacking the full depth and diverse range of human values. They, knowing little else and having no solid core of humanity adopt money and power as their only driving principles. They become reckless and careless for all else and all others..
We are left in a sad and sorry state when our leaders are drawn from among those Bergström called "finger blind." And so, developing integrated skills and intellect of hands and mind is essential to the preservation of the quality of human life. Let's make certain that all kids develop integrated skills of hand and mind to prevent them from becoming destructive egomaniacs who put human culture at risk.
The only things Trump has ever had built were at the expense of having destroyed something better first.
