I'm with Bird Beezy on this one :birdman:

Knowledge doesn't exactly equal power. It's execution, timing, strategy and resiliency. You can read and discuss a subject for decades, it's just in your head until you make a move. And it depends on what type of power we talking about.

:mjtf: Knowledge is the blueprint to power & without it, "execution, timing, strategy, & resiliency" are nothing more than blind trial & error.

You dont need a lot of context

These guys are in prison.

The foundations need to be built before "making moves"

plotting about "making moves" while in prison is what gets them right back in prison.

You have no clue what you are talking about or how the system works.

In terms of getting out and staying out of jail or prison. Having access to money >>> an education. Do you know how many people that have earned masters and PhD behind bars and are never coming home or cant even make parole?

He’s dumb as shyt yet he’s 1000x more influential, monumental, and rich than you are. Maybe he’s not as dumb as you think. And if he is such a fukkin ignoramus surely you can do what he did even better…right? :patrice:

This probably isn't the hill you want to die on breh. :mjlol:

Power - the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.

the ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality.



Now money is power. Beauty is power. Power is a people mover.

Knowledge sits in your head. You have to convert Knowledge into power. And you need a lot of it to take advantage achieve your goals. More than average knowledge. Knowledge can help you achieve power, but not knowledge alone for most . There are many knowledgeable people that are broke and can't influence or direct anything.

How do you learn execution, timing, strategy, and resiliency without knowledge?

Knowledge has to be converted into power. And it takes an extraordinary amount of knowledge to be to converted it into Power. You have to have a significant more amount of knowledge than most for it to matter.

We don't read much or research enough for us to have enough knowledge to turn into power. We're too face value. We can't really understand what Birdman is saying because it rubs us the wrong way. Birdman man is saying, "you're already sentence to prison, what kind of books gone help you? " We have to specify what type of knowledge and what's the goal.

We think college generally is knowledge. It is, but not that type of knowledge with need to help us achieve our goals.

Birdman: "I got enough power to help everyone"
Inmate: "We need books"
Birdman: "So you think reading books gone help y’all?"

While incarcerated, he spent as much time as possible in the prison library to learn about the law, and tried to gather his records and gain his freedom.

For over two decades he helped prisoners with their appeals and encountered many like him who should not have been in prison. Regarding his own case, Duncan was continually denied access to the records he needed to challenge his wrongful conviction.

Duncan graduated from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland last spring — at age 60 — and is now running for Clerk of Court in the same New Orleans district that once denied him access to his records.

There's a counterexample. Birdman can't use his power to help everyone to get inmates law books for them to develop their legal knowledge to help themselves and each other through self-empowerment?

How many inmates wanna be a lawyer? Also, those books have to be approved
