Comment on There is only one type of job. Doing something someone else doesn't want to do.

The ability to learn is also linked with time, energy, and accessibility to resources.

So… that’s the point. You don’t want to do all that…

I would love to be able to become a master of all trades. I cant put food on my table consistently unless I stick to one.

But you don’t really want to because that would be really hard.

There are so many things you want to do or know that you are incapable of knowing or doing because you are too stupid to learn it. No amount of trying will be enough. Your specific brain is incapable. Not everyone has the same abilities to do or learn, but may want to if they could.

What if it takes 100 years for you to train for the job? So if you tried and failed, does it count as “not wanting to do that”?
