Using the same reasoning, since Knowledge is Power it would also hold that Money = Work / Power, which means that Money also approaches infinity when Power approaches zero, which is equally silly.

Money is a function of power. The only relation to skill is that if the skill is in demand and hard to acquire it gives you a commiserate amount of power via your ability to withhold your skill. There's a cap on how much power that can ever give you and it's not that high. Furthermore, the reason some people don't attain more power is because they are too socially oblivious to obtain more power and would rather just whine about how unfair it is and make bad math jokes.

That's why I studied all the exam material the day before: because as time goes towards zero, my knowledge increased exponentially.

As always, watch your units or your result is meaningless:<p><pre><code> Power = Work &#x2F; Time Knowledge is Power </code></pre> The first power is in Watts. I&#x27;m pretty sure the second is some sort of political unit of influence.

&quot;as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity&quot;<p>In other words, if you employ people with little knowledge, the cost of getting anything done approaches infinity. Just look at any major government IT project for proof of this theorem.

&quot;as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity&quot;, also to rephrase: as knowledge approaches infinity, money approaches zero, - sounds like industry vs academia salaries?

This probably is more true if &quot;Knowledge&quot; is a representation of others&#x27; knowledge.<p>ie: Does the customer know how badly you&#x27;re ripping them off?<p>Does the customer know what cloud computing &lt;or blockchain&gt; even is?

This explains why the more money someone makes, the harder it is to explain new concepts to them.

Sounds a reasoning behind 1984 &quot;Ignorance is Strength&quot;.
