Every engineer knows the basic relationship between work, power and time: Work = Power * Time According to the postulates: Knowledge = Power and Time = Money So we substitute and
Therefore, by simple math: Money = Work / Knowledge • So when Knowledge goes towards zero, Money goes towards infinity, regardless of the value attributed to work, even if the value of work is very small. • In the inverse, when Knowledge goes towards infinity, Money goes towards
The inevitable conclusion: The less you know, the more money you make
