Purchasing stock confidently
requires the right knowledge. As Francis Bacon, the father of the scientific
method once stated, “Knowledge is power.”
In mankind’s agricultural
past, ownership of land and property meant power. During the Industrial
Revolution, ownership of factories and machinery became the basis of wealth and
power. Now more than ever, in our globally integrated cybernetic information
driven world, knowledge and information in and of itself has become the basis
of wealth and power. Examples of those that are powerful due to our current
knowledge based society include the wealth of Bill Gates to the influence of
the large pharmaceutical companies of which both are based on intellectual
property rights.
Control of information is
something corporate elites always recognized as a way to consolidate and build
wealth and power. In 1983, 90% of American media was owned by 50 companies.
Right now, over 90% of the information diet of 313 million Americans is
controlled by 6 corporations: News Corporation, Disney, Comcast, Viacom, Time
Warner, and CBS. That is 90% of everything Americans see, hear, and consider
important. As author Tom Clancy pointed out, those that control the information
can control the people. Governments that are despotic have long recognized the
importance of controlling the flow of information in a society. For example,
China’s government controls its population in part by maintaining massive
surveillance and a content control system over their population’s access to the
Internet. As elites and governments recognize the importance of controlling
knowledge and information, so should you be seeking to build on your sources of
information.
Decisions do not happen in a
vacuum. They are best made when the individual has sufficient information to
weigh the possible consequences of various choices. Access to the right
information gives decision-making power, builds your range of options from
which to make choices, and is a key step toward empowerment and building
wealth. Knowledge gives competence and the capacity to act, and sets one on a
path of never ending and self-initiated growth.
