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?
Maybe I could teach Osama that using a plane as a wraith or dropship would be 10x better than using it as a scourge..... ^^; -Flex

Power doesnt even necessarily have to be physical. Blackmail, for instance.

Needless to say I failed it.

no retarded person is good at math or reasoning, and neither of those is knowledge
your post doesn't make any sense


There are spiecal retarded peaple with Genetic gifts and memories from their ancesters. I think they are called Phasut or some thing.

"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.

Actually, money = power. Knowledge is just a means of getting the money if you don't have it.

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.
