IMAGINATION IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT, THAN INNOVATION. PC 449 EARNEST MANN’S: ADVANCED PERCEPTION EP.6
Why Imagination Beats Innovation Every Time
Hello, my name is Earnest Mann, and today, we’re cutting through the noise around innovation, a term that’s been hijacked by corporations and twisted into a feel-good buzzword. What’s been lost in the chaos? Imagination. The real engine of progress. This episode unpacks how we've been misled to believe that innovation is the holy grail, when in truth, it's often a cleverly disguised mechanism for short-term corporate profit.
Innovation: The Empty Suit of Modern Business
Innovation is glorified in ads and corporate speak, but I’m here to tell you—it’s an empty suit. Despite rapid technological progress, people are more isolated, anxious, and unfulfilled. Why? Because technological innovation without emotional, sociological, or spiritual progress is hollow. We're running in circles—like a mouse on a wheel—producing more but feeling less human.
The Wright Brothers Were Dreamers, Not Innovators
You’ve heard the Wright brothers called innovators. Wrong. They were dreamers with powerful imagination and raw perception. That’s how they flew. Imagination—not "innovation"—sparked that breakthrough. But corporations can’t profit from dreamers, so they replace real creative force with buzzwords that strip away the soul of achievement.
The Corporate Machine’s War on Imagination
Corporations thrive by replacing imagination with productivity and dreams with data. Innovation becomes code for maximizing profit at all costs, strangling the very spirit that moves humanity forward. It’s the chicken-and-egg story—only the chicken is you, neurotic and panicked, shoved into production lines of ideas that aren’t even yours.
The Power of Seeing Through the BS
I share a simple trick: translate corporate jargon into its real meaning. "Innovative techniques" become "legal loopholes to crush small businesses." The moment you see through the gloss, the manipulation becomes clear—and even funny. Decoding language is your key to liberation. It’s a skill that sharpens perception, empowers imagination, and helps protect your family from the toxic grip of corporate narratives.
Be the Modern-Day Robin Hood
This isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about reclaiming what’s rightfully yours. Your imagination is your armor. You’re not just resisting a system—you’re building a better one, one thought at a time. You have more power than they want you to believe.

Transcript
00:00 Have you ever noticed in your life that some people seem to have a lot of good luck and others, you know, seem to have well, a lot of bad? This is not your imagination. And it's really not a bad thing either because it's just showing that your perception antennas are perhaps just a bit more sensitive than others. Hello, my name is Ernest.
00:23 Welcome. And what I talk about in this series are the unfortunate consequences of ignoring one of the greatest abilities you naturally possess, perception. So with no ado, let's dive right in. Of all the terms that we constantly hear today, it's innovation. It has become a business buzzword of the 21st century and is relentlessly pounded into our consciousness 247 by advertising.
00:57 But if I were to use business terminology to define innovation in real terms, I would label it what it actually is, an empty suit. Hello, this is Ernest. Welcome. Now, I know this is going to sound like counterintuitive heresy, but this is the reason why more and more people are perceiving correctly, even if just intuitively, that innovation is essentially a road to nowhere.
01:25 The reason why is although we have certainly made great technological progress even in just the last 20 years, we as individuals are even more isolated and miserable because technological progress is not the same as sociological or spiritual progress. And if anything, we sociologically speaking have degressed.
01:55 And that degression will continue until we start using our imagination again until we actually start thinking as opposed to innovating which is corporate speak for maximizing short-term profits. I could offer countless examples of this but let's take the Wright brothers for example Orville and Wilbur Wright.
th,:02:50 man's first truly successful enginepowered flight. Yet what I have heard repeatedly in documentaries as well as narration by supposed authorities, aeronautical engineers and such is they speak of the Wright brothers as true innovators which tells me they either don't understand the actual definition of innovation or they are deliberately being disingenuous.
03:23 What the Wright brothers actually were were self-taught engineers, bicycle sellers and repairers, but they were also primarily dreamers. And in order to dream, you have to have a good amount of imagination, which of course is also tied to a high level of perception. And as I have said many times before, all of these things work synergistically.
03:51 But as soon as you try to change all that into innovation, that is as the old saying goes like putting the cart before the horse. This in turn is one of the primary reasons why so many modern people not just in America but around the world feel isolated, miserable and failing. Because the corporate business model and everything that flows from it is the polar opposite of imagination.
04:26 It only obsesses on innovation, absolutely refusing to engage with or accept the notion of anything that is not absolute production, aka innovation. This is like strangling the chicken because it's not producing eggs fast enough. Thus, the chicken becomes terrified and neurotic. I'll give you three guesses of who the damn chickens are.
05:02 This is the reason why I will never, at least as long as it's within my power, use an AI voice. I could and quite a few people have suggested that I do so. But I would feel very disingenuous if I did that since I feel it's very important to have a human connection with those who listen to me. And the same applies concerning script.
05:28 When using a script, I never use an AI script. I sit down at my desk thinking and typing and a hell of a lot of correcting. I do it all the old-fashioned way. But at least when I'm finally finished my work, I feel good knowing that at least it was my work, not some damn AI program pretending to be human talking to you, such as Mark Fuckerberg.
06:04 Now, if you want to know the real reason behind all of this endless use of the term innovation, you only have to unplug from the system for one moment and picture in your mind's eye what I'm about to tell you. Imagine a mouse running on a wheel. Good. That's you innovating.
06:29 And I would like to point something else out. the irony that in order for you to have that vision, you had to be able to see it in your imagination. Did you see what I'm trying to illustrate? If there's anything that's needed right now, it's imagination, not innovation. because it's our imagination that has always been the primary force responsible for a humanity achieving remarkable things.
07:05 And history clearly points that out. Of course, the corporation doesn't want you to know that because it's not in the corporation's interest that you are a independent or you know actually thinking at all. So, let me offer you this little trick that not only has certainly helped me, but it's also helped many others begin the process of breaking free and having a better life.
07:40 Anytime you see certain words or phrases, translate them with true words or phrases, which fully and accurately describes their true purpose and intention. Here's an example. Our highly skilled team of professional business entrepreneurs excel in innovative techniques and aggressive market acquisition strategies. Um, that would be accurately translated as, "Our highly skilled team of corporateowned professional legal criminals excel in finding every legal loophole imaginable to crush competition from local businesses, then purchase
08:24 those crushed local businesses for pennies on the dollar, ensuring eliminating local customer choice through perpetually ly expanding total local and regional market domination. Damn, isn't it nice to actually hear the truth? I can absolutely assure you once you start doing this, not only do you get better and better at it, but the realization of what is actually being actually said becomes really quite funny.
09:04 Man, I don't mean funny in the sense that what they're doing is at all humorous, but the fact that you are able to decode the nonsense and deception and not only protect yourself from their deliberate plans to steal from and manipulate you, but you can also help others to protect themselves from them.
09:30 So, you could quite deservedly think of yourself as a modern-day Robin Hood protecting your family and friends from the evil sheriff of Nodingham. And just think, all of this is possible by simply reactivating what corporate America doesn't want you to reactivate. Your imagination, your ability to think.
10:01 And speaking of imagination, I'm imagining a world where hundreds, thousands, millions are subscribing and hitting the notification bell. Not just because they want this channel to grow, but because they understand that I really do care. And that's about the best anyone can be expected to do in this world.
10:28 Until next Monday or Friday, this is Ernest and I usually always am.
