the body/mind duality applied to "othered" humans.
You can't use a hammer? You are worthless.
You swing a hammer every day? You are worthless.
You read books? You are worthless.
You don't read books? You are worthless.
Why is it so hard for people to respect other people's skills that they have generally spent their entire lives acquiring and refining. People having different skills and being able to trade with each other is the foundation of civilization.
I grew up around the duality as well, and it's just dumb.
