It's been a long time since I played it. And honestly, it doesn't have to be a take. Things are spelled out for the player from what I remember.

The 'intellectuals' in the rapture considered activities such as plumbing, cleaning etc to be beneath them. Which led to having an underclass of workers doing these things and eventually there was a rebellion.

Basically, cooperation is far more important than intelligence (or any other talent for that matter) in isolation.

An example I can give is Josh Trank. After Chronicle, his directorial debut which received great reviews, he got opportunity to direct Fant4stic. The production was an absolute shitshow.

Compare that to David Fincher. He was directing music videos before he got Alien 3. That movie had a lot of studio interference. David kept his head down, did his job and moved on. Only spoke negatively about Alien 3 after more than 15 years.
