A SOCIAL IMPOSSIBILITY THEOREM

For centuries, generations of philosophers and social scientists have studied the sources of income inequality in human society. Finally, a major breakthrough in the form of a mathematical proof of a fundamental truth, long suspected by millions of laboring individuals, and now shown rigorously.

Theorem: It is impossible for engineers, scientists and the professoriate to earn as much money as business executives.

Proof:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

powerequation

Since philosophers and economists have amply demonstrated that Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have via substitution,

eq2

Solving for Money, one obtains:

eq3

and taking limits,

eq4

Result: The less you know, the more you make.
