核心要点
The Knowledge Revolution Reshaping Our World
Power is undergoing a historic transformation. While we often focus on who has power, the more profound shift concerns how power itself operates. The fundamental sources of power have always been violence (muscle), wealth (money), and knowledge (mind). Throughout history, these three have constantly interacted, but their relative importance has dramatically shifted. Today, knowledge has emerged as the ultimate power amplifier, transforming both military might and economic wealth. This explains why every power holder throughout history has sought to control information. The Catholic Church once monopolized literacy; modern dictatorships control media; even democracies classify millions of documents as "secret." Despite our focus on wealth distribution, knowledge is actually the most maldistributed power resource, and the coming struggle will increasingly center on access to information. Unlike guns and money which are finite, knowledge is infinitely expandable. While force and wealth cannot be used simultaneously by different people, knowledge can be shared without being depleted - often producing more knowledge through its use. Most revolutionary of all, knowledge can be grasped by both weak and poor, making it a perpetual threat to the powerful.
