After applying some simple algebra to some trite phrases and cliches, a
new understanding can be reached of the secret to wealth and success.
Here it goes:
Knowledge is Power
Time is Money, and, as every economist knows,
Power is Work over Time.
So, substituting algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom,
we get:
(1) K = P
(2) T = M
(3) P = W/T
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 this means is 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.
>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
>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 socio-economic implications of this breakthrough is left
as an exercise for the reader.
