Why the stupid rich do little work

After applying some simple algebra to some trite phrases and cliches a new understanding can be reached of the secret to wealth and success.
Here it goes:

  • Knowledge is Power
  • Time is Money
  • Power is Work over Time.

So, substituting algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom, we get:

  • (1) K = P
  • (2) T = M
  • (3) P = W/T

Now, do a few simple substitutions. Put W/T in for P in equation (1), pu, which yields:

  • (4) K = W/T

Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:

  • (5) K = W/M
  • Therefore: Knowledge equals Work over Money.

What THIS MEANS is that:

  • 1. The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and
  • 2. The More You Know, the Less Money You Make.

Solving for Money, we get:

  • (6) M = W/K
  • Money equals Work Over Knowledge.

From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done. What THIS MEANS is:

  • The More you Make, the Less you Know.

Solving for Work, we get:

  • (7) W = M K
  • Work equals Money times Knowledge

From equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0 as Knowledge approaches 0. What THIS MEANS is:

  • The stupid rich do little or no work.
