What's truer'; knowledge is power or knowledge is virtuous?

I hate answering a question with a question...





Is ';truer'; a real word in the epistemological sense???What's truer'; knowledge is power or knowledge is virtuous?
It depends on the type of knowlege. Personal knowlege is virtuous. Virtue is a personal thing that u have to chose for yourself. Power is not something you can give yourself, it has to be given to you. If you dont control anything u dont have power. What u control has to give u the power by either submitting dominance or expressing need.





The publics knowledge of your knowledge can equel power. Its not what you know or other people knowing you. Its people knowing that you know what you know that creates respect and fear. Respect and fear are what create power.What's truer'; knowledge is power or knowledge is virtuous?
I would say that: knowledge is power, because you need knowledge to know what virtue is.
