Knowledge Is Power

Knowledge is Power
Time is Money
and as every engineer knows,
Power is Work over Time.
So, substituting algebraic equations for these timeworn bits of wisdom, we get:

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

Now, do a few simple substitutions:

Put W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields:
K = W/T (4)

Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:

K = W/M (5).

Now we've got something. Expanding back into English, we get:

Knowledge equals Work over Money.

What MEANS that:

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:

M = W/K (6) Money equals Work Over Knowledge.

Thus, from equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done.

What THIS MEANS is:

The More you Make, the Less you Know.

Solving for Work, we get

W = M K (7) Work equals Money times Knowledge

And, from equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0 as Knowledge approaches 0.

What THIS MEANS is:

The stupid rich do little or no work.

Working out the socioeconomic implications of this breakthrough is left as an exercise for the reader.

Intriguing! Yet I wonder, your equation fails to include the every popular "Brown nosing factor" = BN.

OMG KB, you're a freaking genius! That made so much sense it's scary! Now all you'll have to worry about are the men in black. They might be coming to your house or workplace right now! If this simple lil equation were to become public knowledge, civilization as we know it will crumble!!

Now, if I can only figure out the appropriate units...

Beat ya to it nubiannupe.


Proof That Girls Are Evil:

We all know that girls equal time and money, so....
girls= t(m)

We all know that time is money, so....
girls= m(m)
girls= mē

We all know that money is the root of all evil, so....
mē= evil

Soooo.....
girls=evil
