theorem: the less you know, the more money you make

Theorem: The less you Theorem: The less you know, the more money know, the more money you makeyou make ProofProof::

We know thatWe know thata) Time is Money (T=M)a) Time is Money (T=M)b) Knowledge is Power (K=P)b) Knowledge is Power (K=P)and from Physicsand from Physicsc) Power = Work / Time (P=W/T)c) Power = Work / Time (P=W/T)

By substitution, K = W/MBy substitution, K = W/M Rearrange the equation and M = W/K, or Rearrange the equation and M = W/K, or

Money = Work/KnowledgeMoney = Work/Knowledge

From this equation, it follows that as knowledge goes From this equation, it follows that as knowledge goes to 0, money goes to infinity.to 0, money goes to infinity.
