Henry Kissinger has famously said that power is better than sex. Well, clearly he isn't a programmer!

Actually, what Kissinger famously said was that power was the ultimate aphrodisiac, which is something somewhat different. I imagine he is describing it as a one-way function...




Just to test my understanding on this sentence (I have re-read it 4 times now), JGC is saying that if Kissinger was a programmer, he would be saying "sex is better than power"? I think I have totally missed the meaning of this - could someone please point it out to me?


My interpretation was that programming is better than either sex or power :)
