| As with all sentences with an "is" in them, the meaning can be interpreted in two different ways: Meaning #1: If you have knowledge, then you will have power. The idea here is that the acquisition of knowledge results in social power. The one "in the know" holds a certain power over those who do not. The knower is a Go-To-Guy. Meaning #2: If you have power, then you will have knowledge. This is the opposite of the above meaning. The basic idea here is that knowledge is really just power in disguise. |
