Interpretation
The line is a wry, workshop-flavored twist on the philosophical idea that “nothing lasts forever.” By adding “if you have enough power tools,” it reframes impermanence as something actively produced rather than passively endured: with sufficient mechanical force, any object, barrier, or supposedly permanent structure can be dismantled, reshaped, or destroyed. The humor comes from collapsing grand metaphysics into practical DIY logic, while also hinting at a darker truth about technology—tools amplify human agency, for creation or ruin. It can be read as a celebration of ingenuity and problem-solving, or as a caution about the ease with which power enables irreversible change.
