Knowledge

Knowledge is power. I realized this yesterday morning, that knowledge -- to know -- is a better quality to possess than general intelligence. I don't have facts or figures to back this up, it just hit me that in order to be successfull in studies you must in the end possess the knowledge you are attempting to learn. Maybe intelligence and knowledge are the same thing, I don't know as I haven't though of it.

I was just browsing the bit bucket at dev/null and found an interesting read on liberty and freedom of knowledge, aka hackerism. They quote a founding father of America:

"The spirit of resistance to government," Jefferson wrote, "is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive."

-That makes sense to me
