But I also think that the core of power is education. Every person that is well educated in a language has some basic mathematical and logical skills already has that bases of power inbetween his ears.

Disagree. That's potential, not power. Perhaps that's akin to mechanical power. Being able to do things is useful and could be leveraged into power, but power in the human context is more like the ability toake exceptions to rules. Most math professors can't do that.

So to say in a communist way. Those who are more equal are the powerful?

Can be one expression of power. I think being able to do stuff is power too. Liberties on is actively acting in are powers I would say. Like to meet with others discuss, plan something and do it.

Generic speaking I would frame power to align reality to my needs. And even the most known "powerful" people like Putin, Trump and Xi are not powerful in every way. FOr example they often do not have the power to go partying without bodyguards or having a picknick in whatever Park spontanously. Or going somewhere unrecognized without masking up.

They make up for it with Epstein parties and Pizza Gate parties.

Haha but to mee this does not seem the same level of freedom. Sad souls in their sad parties.

Seems like a bad way to spend a life
