I often hear this from time to time. But is it really true? For example, there are retarded peaple with genitic memories that's able do alot of things that they were not tought. Some are very good at math and music or superier reasoning skills. But what can these knowledge do for them other then making them freaks of nature?
Peace and love, for ever.

Actions based on the knowledge could have, however, depending upon the circumstances.

In the broad sense, yeah, I guess you can say knowledge is power. If you want to look at it from a political point of view, knowing things your opponent doesnt obviously gives you an advantage. In the military, its all about the intel and knowing how to strategize. And as our dwindling education system shows, you stand to make more money with a better education. Yada yada, etc.

I don't think knowledge is a direct form of power, but it can be used to help you obtain it fasrter/easyier.

Autism doesnt automatically mean the same thing. The condition you are refering to is called Savantism, although the two are usually paired together.


Pinball, why would you joke about that... Bad form.

Let me explain knowledge = power

Nuke = power

Knowledge to create nukes = key to power

Threatening the world with 50 nukes = power

Understand?

"There is no Knowledge, That is Not Power"

(Mortal Kombat) ):3

------------------------------------------------------------

IMO, Knowledge = More Options. More Options = Power. If you are able to do More Things then you can adapt more, do more, think more. So Knowledge lets you have power.

Power comes from 2 sources - knowledge and lying. Deceiving twists knowledge.

old, but relevant in this thread

KNOWLEDGE is POWER
TIME is MONEY
and as every engineer knows: POWER is WORK over TIME.

If we substitute algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom, we get:

(1) K = P
(2) T = M
(3) P = W/T

Substituting W/T (from equation 3) in for P in equation (1), yields:

(4) K = W/T

and, Substituting M (from equation 2) in for T in equation (4), yields:

(5) K = W/M

Equation (5) shows that KNOWLEDGE is directly proportional to WORK and inversly proportional to MONEY. Or, Interpreting this into English, we get:

KNOWLEDGE equals WORK over MONEY, or:

1. The More You Know, the More work You Do, and
2. The More You Know, the Less money You Make.

Solving for MONEY, we get:

(6) M = W/K, or,

MONEY equals WORK over KNOWLEDGE.

From equation (6) we see that MONEY approaches infinity as KNOWLEDGE approaches 0, regardless of the WORK done. This means:

The more you Make, the less you Know.

Solving for WORK, we get:

(7) W = M x K, or,

WORK equals MONEY times KNOWLEDGE

From equation (7) we see that WORK approaches 0 as KNOWLEDGE approaches 0. Which means:

The stupid rich do little or no WORK.
