Answer 5

It might be that Knowledge is power, but nowadays, new values are taking the lead...  Opportunities, flattery, useful connections, stepping on others...

Answer 6

2 Parts to this answer.

Firstly the idea of seem to get further in life suggests that people who suceed financially or become more in the public eye are "getting further" this is because we live in a post industrial capitalist economy. Making money and then spending it is vital to the sucess of maintaining this. The media is therefore geared towards celebrating an opulent lifestyle, and encouraging others to aspire to it and maintain the existing dominant economic model.

Also someone becoming self fulfilled, more compassionate and better developed (what I'd define as getting further) is not particularly excititng and papers do not believe this will sell column inches, so it is stereotyped as being a hippy or an oddball

Second part of my answer; people do not necessarily have to have a great deal of knowledge in order to hold power over someone. In the workplace, bosses generally do not have much knowledge at all, but what they do have they guard jealously and always allude to having much more. I have had several bosses who have been openly hostile to any line of intelligent questioning or something which threatend their knowledge facade. This is why I now work for myself

Answer 7

knowledge is not a power as the kitchen knife is not a weapon till you'd not decide to use it as weapon.

Answer 8

Yes, it is always get further because it's a dogs eat dogs world.

Answer 9

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,

baffle them with bullshit!"

If you say what they want to hear, it doesn't matter if you know anything or not.

Answer 10

THEIR knowledge has more power...its as simple (or complicated) as that!

P.S.  Its a special kind of knowledge that not everyone can apply...definitely not the ones with the scruples!  So...

Answer 11

Because they bullshit with such confidence that knowledge can be manilupated and passed off as legitiment twisted  knowledge so that in appearences they are sudo powerful people. It is mostly all fake, things like smoke and mirrors.

Like a stack of cards that fall with the fraility of one poof of phoney wind blows all illusions away and only the true power continues to stand

Answer 12

B.S. if it is well delivered will usually deceive the high population ignorant people

Answer 13

Knowledge is not power.

Knowledge 'applied' is where the power is.

The bull shutters know this and apply it to their world.

Answer 14

Because they always feel that bad taste in their mouths...

Answer 15

If the person had real knowledge than they wouldn't really care about the material part of life.

As one retain more wealth one does become corrupt and greedful.

Its best to have wealth in knowledge than wealth in monetary possesions.

Answer 16

I believe one of the main reasons financially successful people are financially successful, is they have no conscience or scruples, at least none that would bother them...

(God, I envy those people, because I'm way "overly-aware" of how many people have almost nothing, for me to have "too much."  I wish I had never read The Gospels)

And one of the reasons I'm not financially successful, is...

My conscience would kick my oz big time...

(Unless I became wealthy saving babies...that would be okay...)

Answer 17

they don't take c**p from anyone.

Answer 18

because the basis for knowledge is power is to be smarter than your fellow man therefor by being able to bullshit someone who has what you want you have the ability to attain such an item from them, to trick someone into giving you something is the knowledge of outsmarting someone
