Is knowledge power?

[Mitera Nikkou]

Do I need to explain? ;/

I'll post my choice later, because I'm lazy and whatnot. And because Polls has become a ghost town. Le sob.

Yep. If you know the enemy, then you usually know how to beat it. 'Nuff said.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Ah-ha, you fool! Now I can make sure that you don't copy me! Mwa-ha-ha!

Yes, this is the real reason for why I didn't give my answer in the first post. Nyeh, nyeh!

Obviously, my answer is, "no."

Most knowledge attained is circumstantial, and so I don't believe that my power meter rises along with my knowledge meter. I believe that knowledge is a burden, and we have to use our judgement to decide how we will handle it. It's in the handling of this burden that we build up power, not just by attaining and using it. I mean, anyone with half of a brain can learn things and make use of their knowledge to their benefit (to one extent or another), but not everyone can use their knowledge wisely, in particular under less-than-desired conditions. It's the same in the physical sense: are you strong just because you built up some muscles, or are you strong because of what you were able to accomplish with said muscles?

Knowledge=Work/Time

Therefore

Knowledge=Power.

Drone. ;/

[Haylie]

Curse you, Nikkou! How could you do this to me, your most loyal follower?!

[Mitera Nikkou]

Oh, so now you admit to brown-nosing?

[Haylie]

NEVAR!

Maybe.

Sorta.

Kinda.

Yes.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Just as I had deducted! Surely I will become the next greatest detective... Known for never failing to show the nekkid truth! *_*

Define 'knowledge', 'power', and 'is', please, and the I'll decide.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Not in that order, I won't. You jerk.

Is is as is does. (Awesomeness, I tell you!)

Knowledge is what you know. (Duh.)

Power is the capacity to do something. (For instance, you may have a toaster, but it can't toast without power. Or just because you know something doesn't mean you have the (will) power to use it, or, if you do, properly.)

Power=Work/Time

So it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is?
