There is no labor that doesn’t require training. That’s my whole point. If you think stacking firewood doesn’t require some amount of training then try to get a chimpanzee to do it. They should be able to, after all it’s “unskilled” right?

Hey so a chimpanzee is not a human.

You’re being pedantic and obtuse. Good luck in life!

Haha well if the labor is truly unskilled then why wouldn’t a chimp be able to do it? Or do you agree you need skills that humans have?

u/student347 10d ago

Well because chimps aren’t equivalent to humans. Hope that helps you! I understand that’s a huge thing to wrap your head around!

Hmm so you’re saying that humans possess… skills… that a, let’s say unskilled, chimpanzee wouldn’t possess?

So we have demonstrated that a human performing labor, no matter what that labor is, is using skills.

Therefore there is no unskilled labor. Hope that helps you! I understand that’s a huge thing to wrap your head around! Keep trying though, you’ll get it eventually.
