Knowledge is Power (K=P)
Time is Money (T=M)
Power equals Work
divided by Time (P=W/T)
Using simple algebraic substitutions gives the following equations:
K = W/T
(and, since T=M)
K = W/M
Therefore, knowledge equals work divided by money
Using some simple ratios and propotions we get some logical conclusions:
1. If Knowledge is held constant, then the more you work the more money you
make.
2. Similarly, the less you work, the less money you make.
However, consider the fact that
W = K*M
and hold Work constant. Then we can conclude,
1. The smarter you are, te less money you make. Or, if you prefer, the
more money you make, the less you know.
Now, hold Money constant, and conclude
1. The more you know, the harder you have to work (for the same amount of
money).
2. As knowledge approaches zero, so does work (regardless of the amount of
money you have).
Clearly, we have just demonstrated that stupid, rich people do little or no
work.
To consider the validity of this proof and its socio-economic implications
on society, please spend a few hours watching C-SPAN.
