learning about human intelligence, either first-hand or through study. For many, many people, their intelligence level indeed precludes learning skills beyond the very basic. And for many poor, without any safety net of any kind, drugs and crime--- acts that would be forgiven and mitigated in those with means--- are facts that keep them from much beyond basic work.
This crap about "effort" has been bandied about since the industrial revolution to justify inhumane treatment of the masses.
If one doesn't feel a responsibility to one's brothers, there's no way to implant it. Attacking them as somehow less than you is a pretty low path. Societies should be measured by how the lowest are treated. The pigs who slop at will at the trough will always do fine under a republic or a monarchy. Pigs are pigs.
