Hence the reason why I could not contextualize..... Knowledge Is being aware of facts.....Understanding is knowing how when and where to use/apply those Facts For Knowledge to be or become Power two things are required Know How (Skill/Practical Knowledge) and Resources. In your Example above Skill is training and resources is the gun. Belief is comprise of two things Imagination and Will....Both of which are natural to all.

As y'all may or may not know, I am fascinated with language and semantics which is why I pose the question: Is knowledge synonymous with truth?

@Chevdove, there have been many men throughout the history of mankind who have absolute power over people. I don't believe God gave those men power especially not the most evil and brutal of them. Those men took power regardless of their intelligence (knowledge) or lack thereof. Between violence, manipulation and exploitation, it does not take much power to control people even the *smart* ones.😎

Wait, @richardmurray all this time I thought you lived or were from Harlem. I wish more people took your polls. It may be that you have to have an account to take the poll. I'll lookinto this. Yeah, I saw that Yusef Salaam won the city council seat. I'm not surprised. He is tall, handsome, and the most articulate of the five guys he got bum rushed with. Being one of the exonerated gave him some name recognition which helps tremendously -- plus white people love him... I also saw the Bill Perkins died recently -- that news caught me off guard. I used to see the Brother running in Central Park (interestingly the last time was not too far from where the Central Park Jogger was brutalized).

Power. It attracts knowledge and everything else. Exhibit A-dictatorships. 😎
