Who says that running the world is what you would do if you were powerful?

Yes

Knowledge = Power
Power corrupts

Study hard, be evil!

I actually *do* know everything...I just can't remember it all at once.

"If knowledge is power, and you guys know everything, how come you're
not running the world?"

The problem is in the plural.  There is not just one know-it-all (but
some close candidates), but a great many know-all-about-this types,
too many to get together and agree on how to run the world, and all
too savvy to want to do so.

Knowledge = Power
Power = energy/time
Time = money
Energy = Mass * (C^2)
QED: Knowledge = (mass/money) * 8.98755179 × 10^16 m/s^2

If I'm broke and weigh 82 Kilograms, then my knowledge is undefined.
However, if you pay me, I become almost infinitely informed, but the
more money you pay me the less Knowledge I have.
Thanks for the $2
