"Skill" is a politically correct euphemism for IQ. Skills can be learned quickly as needed, but you can't fix stupid.

No, skilled means you can do something. Engineers, Machinists, Electricians, IT, etc.

I disagree.
There is a natural cleverness among humans to seek maximum reward with minimum effort, independent of IQ. There are as many high IQ criminals and low IQ criminals.

The universal rule, if society allows it (or empowers it) is the law of the jungle. The famous Hobbsian state of nature, “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
