@LittleCaveCreature Yes, 1/3 are not really teachable, 1/3 is the one who will benefit the most and the last third are the one who don't really need to be taught. At the same time, a fourth of people is enough to run society. With 2/3, of people who can do real work, you've some solid margin. And don't think that you first third can do manual labor...they can only do it when supervised, so they end up being "small hands" (like helping hand for brick layers). The situation will improve over time as plumber is slowly disappearing from soil, plants and animals we consume. (So, the Inverse Flynn Effect is ending)
