@hansw@mastodon.social I find that there are very very few people (pretty much just people with mental conditions who cant function in any capacity like even feeding themselves) who are incapable of training for marketable skills.

Intellectual persuits are just one time of highly-skilled labour. There are physical skills as well. Take for example a hibachi chef (one of the best paid chefs).. they have little to no need to have any intellectual skills, but they do train physically to be able to do all sorts of stunts and feats with food as they cook, they are a mix between a juggler and a skilled chef. Thats just one example

You also have artisans who do intricate wood inlays, again not an intellectual skill but highly-skilled and well paid as well

There is an endless list of high-skilled labour that doesnt require cleverness.
