I think what he's trying to say (and this is not necessarily my opinion!) is that being 'cool' means exuding an air of effortlessness, of ease. Being prepared is pragmatic, but can interfere with your ability to project effortless ease, since carrying things outside of the wallet/keys/phone trinity requires added effort on your part.
Another reading of this, were we to take accessories and EDC as personal signifiers of some sort, is that your preponderance of tools belies a desire to control the world around you as opposed to flowing through it, adapting to the future when it becomes the present. Desire for control links to a fear of powerlessness, then to weakness and so on - even if only at the subconscious level.

Whatever, do you, you don't owe anyone an explanation. That's my actual opinion.
