As we know from physics, the amount of work done is proportional to power applied and the time spent:
Substituting into this formula the well-known equations
Time = Money,
we obtain that:
If we rearrange:
we can immediately see that Money is inversely proportional to Knowledge. In other words, the more you know, the less money you have. QED.
For other sophisms check out my other posts.
I agree! Something similar is said by a character from a novel by Umberto Eco. A recent one. I have to look that up. Something like this: to make money you have to concentrate in few, uninteresting things. If you follow your natural interests you are going to gain knowledge, but not money. If you go the other way round, it'll be the opposite. A zero-sum game!
So like I have been doing it wrong all this time?
I remember grandparent's advice to always work hard, never throw away anything as it could be useful someday (even a washer found on the street), and attend church on Sundays.
The Knowledge = Power is wrong today! it is $$$ = Power.
And don't forget Parkinson's Law where "Work always expands to fill the Time available"
Think you better rework your formulas....
BTW Great First post on Blockchain, and I recreated all your graphs in Part 1 with python and sql.steemsql.com .... nice work!
This is a sophism, i.e. a seemingly reasonable proof of a wrong statement (check other sophisms in the series to see what I mean). So, don't take it too seriously.
Although this particular sophism is humorous, it does have a "logical flaw" in it as well. That is, if you think a bit, you can actually find a convincing explanation for what is really "wrong" here (besides the whole act of combining arbitrary quotes into "formulas", of course).
Cognitive formula, well done!
