I don't have the ability to communicate, so I do intellectual labor.

Theory of intellectual labor due to lack of communication skills.

@cicada3301_kig: It is important to understand that people doing manual or physical labor are doing physical labor because they lack [intelligence I think it's important to understand that people who do manual or physical labor are doing it because they don't have intelligence, not because they have strength of an organization (e.g. profitability, productivity, economic clout, stability, growth potential). I think it's important to understand that

@cicada3301_kig: it's a comparative advantage in economics

@cicada3301_kig: If you think about it, in the long history of mankind, the value has shifted from physical to intellectual to communication skills over the long history of mankind, so I guess it is possible that "people who do intellectual labour do it because they don't have communication skills, not because they are good at intellectual labour". (e.g., "people who do intellectual labour do it because they are good at it")
