Man in a tattered business suit talking to kids around a campfire. Cow tools painted on the cave wall. He says "Yes, the planet got destroyed. Our financial tools lacked something in sophistication."

I prefer the original "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders"

Is the lacking sophistication bit a reference I'm missing?

It's a Cow Tools reference from The Far Side.

And for people who are still confused: The confusion is the whole point of the joke. Nobody understands what the hell "cow tools" is supposed to mean. Maybe it had something to do with research showing that other mammals, not just monkeys and early humans, were capable of making tools. But nobody knows. It's absurdist humor
