Different
But same
If knowledge doesn't give me the ability to pop peoples' heads like a grape with the power of my mind then what good is it?
We would still be in the stonage.
Power to you is "useful"
that's it
fuck
Knowledge can be a means to power; but it is not in itself power
Semantics dispute~!!!
**You all are armchair scientist congrats!**
20 minute long semantics dispute
fuck my life
* Several people are typing *
@Eirene Omni... anything is self-contradictory though. Unsolvable paradoxes abound.
If you have an iota of power aka any piece of matter you can use knowledge to ramp that up
Example: let’s say I became aware of the affair of a wealthy businessman/politician/celebrity
Has anyone done the Jordan Peterson "God is just what you care about lol" thing yet?
I have a penis. Feminism told me it holds great power.
@Schedrevka Pretty sure that counts as an "idol" not a "God"
Fuck it, Amazonia actually explained it better than me. Knowledge is power because it gives us the means to achieve power. Without knowledge, we can't receive power. They are mutual and work hand to hand, if you have knowledge, you will gain power.
Who are you to say that Idol is not God or vice versa?
And according to laws,everything has energy @Dusty Morgan
So
You can use that to get more
I have power over the wealthy and powerful individual; but it is not because I have this knowledge. I hold power due to the social ramifications of my ability to reveal this to the media. But let’s say that the powerful figure doesn’t care; he belives that this scandal will not diminish his own power
Then my knowledge has no power
It has some
Someone will react to it
@Uksio A god is still a god even without input.... an idol requires input in order to have power over anything
I know only one god: the "future self". I can pray to that one and there is a high probability he will do shit for me (as long as it is within the realm of doable)
That's Procrastination
^^^
I know no God
I know myself
And what goals I have
And work to that
Yes but is it shrek?
if I achieve my goal I get a new one
