Hi JS,
I totally agree.
What you know about people & stuff in general is more useful than stuff like the square root of minus one.
Par ex : I only had the knowledge that a bloke working with me had an Equity card., So I had a bit part in East-Enders.
Courtesy of him.
I had the knowledge that a party was going down in the Sultanate of Oman, at the Palace. That gave me a bit of power within the system.
Daft, yet true.
Oh yes, mon ami > you are quite correct !
Bob.

Yes, this is pretty much true. Itis a rather broad statement however. There are many kinds of knowledge, but in the main, knowledge is an advatage and an advantage is power.

No, but Power is Knowledge. I can have knowledge without power, but with true power I have great knowlege. I think I need some sleep!

I agree. Knowledge IS power. Being powerful is knowing that your cleverer than the people around you, whilst letting them think that they are the cleverest.

Yes! And it doesn't even have to do with book smarts. One who has knowledge of how things work are better prepared to deal with the world.
