The Reality of Human Nature, Misguided Advice, and America's True Challenges

Hello, Earnest Mann here! In this episode, I'm unraveling the complexities of human nature, misguided advice, and the sociopolitical landscape of America. I share insights on why people often defy well-meaning advice and how this tendency can lead to unexpected consequences.

The Paradox of Giving Good Advice

I've observed that giving good advice, especially to the young, often results in them doing the exact opposite. This phenomenon highlights a deeper understanding of human behavior and the challenges of guiding others.

The Myth of Making America Great Again

I challenge the ambiguous and undefinable slogan, "Make America Great Again," often associated with Donald Trump. This phrase taps into nationalistic and sociological fantasies that were not universally true or beneficial in the 1950s and are not so today.

The Secret the Powerful Don't Want You to Know

The real issue isn't politics but the truth that powerful interests don't want the average person to understand. Contrary to what the corporate media tells us, the global population is not decreasing. The narrative of a declining population is a propaganda tool to maintain control and profits.

The Impact of Population Growth and Greed

Since the 1950s, America's population has grown significantly, contributing to various socio-economic challenges. The relentless pursuit of profit and lack of serious population control measures are at the core of these issues. Without addressing greed, which has escalated since the 1950s, these problems will only worsen.

The Perils of Perpetual Growth

I illustrate the unsustainable nature of perpetual growth through a powerful analogy. This growth mirrors the behavior of a virus or cancer, ultimately leading to the host's destruction. For meaningful change, we need to recognize and address the flaws in our current system.

Moving Towards Better Governance

For any alternative to work, there must be an admission that our current system is flawed. Proper governance should aim to improve the lives of the majority, and only by recognizing the shortcomings of our existing framework can we move towards a better future.

I've never been able to understand why

people can't understand Universal truths

if you tell someone for example not to

do a certain thing it seems they're only

more determined to do it so if you

really want to witness someone

completely destroy their lives

especially when they're really young

give them good well-meaning advice and

you can bet your ass versus a psychotic

sailor they'll do the exact opposite on

the other hand if it's someone you

really despise maybe giving such a

advice is not such a bad idea hello

folks I'm Ernest and it's Friday we made

it through another week of making our

obscenely Rich owners even richer now

before you jump to the assumption that

I'm a communist or a socialist I'm not

so just please hear me out and have the

courage to do what few others can

actually do today think for yourself

hell I'm not going to be discussing

politics but I am going to try to do is

clear up one very huge

misconception no one and I do mean no

one can make America great again because

the statement which is currently Donald

Trump's tagline is so utterly ambiguous

and simultaneously

undefiable yet it definitely reaches out

with strong nationalistic and

sociological fantasies that were neither

universally true or un ially good in the

1950s or even to the present day to give

just one small example overall life

could be very good in the 1950s if a man

had a good paying job more often than

not with the Union living in the brand

new suburbs and was basically given a

down payment on a home or being able to

attend college or university free of

charge using his GI Bill

assuming of course he survived World War

II but life was very difficult if you

were a dirt poor sharecropper living in

the South with no GI Bill and no new

suburbs to escape to like I said the

real issue here is not politics but a

closely guarded secret that the true

owners of this country don't want the

average citizen to know or worse yet

understand because it would completely

undermine and destroy their empire of

control now in the corporate controlled

news media on the Rarity that the

subject of population is even mentioned

of which it might be a total of two or

three seconds we are reassuringly told

that the world's population overall is

decreasing but to put this very politely

that's simply not true and if I were to

put this in terms of its relative urgy

for our survival I would call it what it

actually is a [ __ ] piece of

propaganda designed so the population

will not become frightened or

uncooperative wage slaves which of

course would be bad for

profits what has changed for the time

being is the rate of increase has

somewhat slowed but it's still

increasing nonetheless and any source

that tells you otherwise either has an

agenda or simply doesn't know what the

hell they're talking about having said

that here's some truth on what is really

important to

know America in 1950 had a population of

around 162 Million by 1980 when I was a

teenager 237 million and currently it's

around

350 million so just since 19 1980 alone

that's a difference of

113 million more

people that's a difference of almost 200

million more people since

1950 even adjusting for deaths from all

causes and this is just for the US not

human population growth for the entire

world so if you want a realist

explanation of what's going on although

these are not all the factors

contributing to the problem there are

two M primary

causes one greed and two no serious

implementation of population control and

the primary reason there is no

desperately needed number two is because

there is number one and if number one is

not rapidly Adit eliminated through in

incentivized change number two will

eventually kill all of

us as far as the greed part of the

equation there are many that have argued

which I absolutely agree with that the

overall level of greed has dramatically

increased since the

1950s and the level of absolutely

obscene business profit ratios paint a

very clear picture of that reality I

believe that people like Jeff Brazos are

a perfectly good example of this but

regardless of where you stand on that

issue what is completely undeniable for

those who have the courage to confront

this reality is the ab absolutely

unchecked increase in

population which is only making a really

bad situation worse and it's only going

to get worse allow me to give you this

simple analogy to

illustrate let's say we have a performer

and he isn't very successful until one

day he meets the devil and agrees to

give his soul to the devil for fame and

success the devil in turn gives the

performer a small bottle with a strange

fluid inside he tells the performer to

take the whole bottle of that fluid just

before going on stage and he will be a

success he also tells him that the

bottle will refill automatically so it's

ready for every performance but he must

use it for every

performance the performer does as

instructed by the devil and very quickly

becomes very successful but what he

notices over time is the more he uses

the potion the more physically he is

wasting away in other words the very

thing that he is taking for his success

is also slow killing

him one of the pillars of corporate

capitalism is Perpetual growth and the

only way you can have Perpetual growth

is if you have more and more consumers

you can't have less consumers and not

even a static number of consumers there

must always be growth which in case you

don't already know are the same

immutable laws of a virus or a cancer

Perpetual growth until it kills the host

unfortunately I don't have the time to

discuss the alternatives to corporate

capitalism in this episode but I will

talk about the Alternatives in a future

video if you like but what I can tell

you with absolute certainty is that

before anyone can Implement alternatives

to improve was essentially a gigantic

ponai scheme of a government there has

to be a clear admission that the current

system is not working and only until

that happens can we have a system which

works much better to improve the lives

of the majority of its people something

called proper governance which is

supposed to be the ultimate purpose of a

nation's

government so dear listener did you find
