Bill,

Just a clarification. Physical and mental labor are separated at the level
of the social division of labor, not the level of the individual. This
process (the formation of priesthoods, schools, etc, historically linked to
the dominant class in the different modes of production) is perhaps somewhat
obscure in our day when the division of labor has an international, global
character, in which much of the physical labor occurs in countries far
distant from where the mental division of labor is centered. Wallerstein
and the world-system theorists are interesting to read in this regard.
