Today I'm going to share with you

0:02

another insight of advanced perception.

0:05

The absolute necessity of recognizing

0:07

foolishness and in the troubled times

0:09

upon us that's vitally important if you

0:13

not only want to survive but thrive.

0:16

Now before I really get going into this

0:19

I just wanted to clarify a couple of

0:21

things. What I'm about to tell you is

0:24

coming from a realist point of view. And

0:28

if you're unfamiliar with that, realism

0:31

is simply stating things well as they

0:34

are. Something which apparently is

0:38

severely lacking in contemporary

0:40

society.

0:42

So I don't sugarcoat anything. Uh I drop

0:45

a lot of fbombs or use any other

0:47

language that I feel is appropriate to

0:50

express well my emotions. So if any of

0:54

that offend offends you uh due to your

0:58

porcelain sensibilities

1:01

that he uses bad words and I'm turning

1:06

it off. Well then please do so and go

1:10

somewhere else and you can listen to

1:11

some other good intended gibberish. But

1:14

you won't find it here. That's not what

1:16

I do. So bearing that in mind now I can

1:20

go forward with the message.

1:24

There is a difference between stupidity

1:27

and foolishness.

1:29

As uh as the old saying goes, you can't

1:33

fix stupid. But you can fix foolishness.

1:37

But in order to fix foolishness, first

1:40

of all, you have to have folks that look

1:43

at something and think a little bit and

1:46

say, "Well, gee, uh, yeah, I guess that

1:48

is kind of foolish." But with a stupid

1:51

person, nah, it ain't going to happen.

1:54

And hence the reason you can't fix

1:56

stupid.

1:58

But for those of you who are not stupid,

2:02

um eh there's hope.

2:06

So, what I want to talk about is people

2:09

that are using

2:11

um many um many acts of what you might

2:15

say are uh avoiding harsh realities just

2:19

to well make themselves feel better. And

2:23

to a certain extent, I mean, that's

2:24

normal because well, that's something

2:27

else that that people do. I mean, we all

2:30

do that. And hell, drugs and alcohol are

2:33

a clear a clear indication of that. And

2:37

also on top of that, you might say

2:40

there's a a hell of a lot to uh be, you

2:43

know, turned off about, let's say. So

2:47

with situations

2:49

that you are in and you have no control

2:54

over, then yeah, I mean, that's that's

2:57

really bad. There's nothing necessarily

3:00

stupid or, you know, foolish about it.

3:02

Sometimes you can be in those kind of

3:05

situations.

3:07

And your only hope, if at all possible,

3:11

um, especially if you have the

3:12

foresight, is simply to get the hell

3:15

out.

3:17

It doesn't matter if it's family you're

3:20

with or friends or anyone or a city or a

3:24

country. um if they have collectively

3:27

lost their minds uh yeah if at all

3:30

possible hopefully you will get the hell

3:34

out.

3:36

So with that in mind, only you can

3:40

answer that for yourself.

3:43

You see, and and just one other quick

3:45

side thing that I would mention here, I

3:49

have to put out what I'm saying in to uh

3:53

to help people, but in the broadest

3:55

sense possible. I mean, think about it

3:58

realistically. There is no way I can

4:02

help you with your individual

4:04

circumstances if I don't know your

4:09

individual circumstances.

4:11

We haven't talked. So that's why, you

4:15

know, these things are put forth, these

4:17

bits of information, episodes, what have

4:20

you, are put forth for that reason. And

4:22

they're put forth um with the hope that

4:26

um well, you got a problem, you know how

4:28

to reach me. Now bearing that in mind,

4:31

what I'm going to talk about here is

4:33

foolishness, which can be uh changed,

4:38

altered, or removed, and stupidity.

4:42

Now, if you're dealing with a situation

4:44

or people that is truly stupid, as I

4:47

said before, not a whole lot you can

4:50

necessarily do about it. But in the case

4:52

of foolishness, there is something you

4:55

can do about it. foolishness and

4:58

stupidity. You could call them kind of

5:01

sort of kissing cousins,

5:04

but there's a very good probability that

5:06

those that are foolish will probably

5:09

although they can, you know, appear to

5:11

be, but they could probably never become

5:14

stupid. And the stupid, well, they'll

5:18

probably always be stupid.

5:21

But you are considered foolish or a fool

5:25

or what have you if you do and or

5:29

associate with foolish things.

5:34

And what I'm defining as a foolish thing

5:37

is anything that takes up your time

5:41

that is not directly beneficial to you

5:46

in a practical manner. Um, it doesn't

5:51

always necessarily have to mean money,

5:55

but it should actually practically

5:57

improve your life in some manner.

6:01

So you could argue for instance that uh

6:06

going out and seeing a concert or going

6:09

out seeing some form of entertainment

6:11

well that that's beneficial because you

6:14

know it's a stress reliever and and well

6:18

that's what it is

6:20

and I I don't have any any problem with

6:22

that.

6:24

But there is a fine line between stress

6:27

relieving and avoidance. And I'm talking

6:30

about activities which are clearly

6:33

avoiding the uh necess I can't even

6:36

talk. The necessity of approaching life

6:40

uh intelligently to improve your life.

6:44

Hey there. Just wanted to show you my

6:46

absolutely amazing Earnest Man Show tote

6:50

bag. And what makes it so amazing? It

6:52

looks great and it's big. Big enough to

6:55

hold all your personal problems.

6:59

Well, okay, maybe not that big, but it

7:05

does hold a lot of stuff.

7:08

So, pure example of that, for instance,

7:11

would be video games. Now, I realize

7:16

there's a a lot of guys out there, maybe

7:18

even gals, who play video games in

7:22

their, you know, in their late 20s, late

7:25

30s, some in their 40s. That's being

7:28

foolish.

7:30

Video games at best should be played

7:33

maybe until you're about 12 years old.

7:36

And then you're supposed to put the

7:37

joystick or controller away and get on

7:40

with your life and do what you do what

7:44

you need to do in order to improve your

7:46

life andor survive.

7:49

Because here's the thing of all the time

7:53

time which is the most precious precious

7:55

commodity

7:57

of all that time that you're wasting

8:00

there are the smart people who aren't.

8:04

They're not playing video games. They're

8:06

not watching sports 247 sitcoms or

8:10

anything else which is meant as a

8:13

distraction, as an entertainment

8:16

to plate you into doing nothing. They're

8:20

not doing that.

8:22

They're making the money. They're

8:26

getting the property. they're doing the

8:28

things that need to be done so that you

8:32

know when you hit the golden years,

8:35

whatever you may determine that to be,

8:38

um, you're not sitting on a pot with

8:40

your finger up your ass with nothing to

8:42

show for it because you were worried

8:45

about, you know, I gaining a high score

8:48

on some incredibly important video game.

8:52

um and video games or sports obsession.

8:56

That's just again a tip of a very big

8:59

iceberg.

9:00

And it's not there by accident. Just as

9:03

they learned from Rome all those

9:06

centuries ago, it's easier to plate

9:10

masses of people with entertainment

9:14

um than it is to actually address their

9:16

needs. So what's happening is is that as

9:20

everything dwindles and you have less

9:23

and less and less, you own less and less

9:26

and less and you stand around perplexed

9:29

and then everybody wants to look at the

9:32

government and that no longer is what

9:36

our government is here for. The

9:39

government is not here in reality to

9:42

take care of you. The government, the

9:46

government's new job as handed out by

9:48

their corporate owners is to plate you

9:52

to give you lots and lots of uh bread

9:57

and circuses and maybe even some public

9:59

assistance here or there. In other

10:01

words, just ek them out. just let them

10:04

get by on their, you know, their panty

10:07

jobs just long enough for us to

10:12

continue taking what is important. Ah,

10:16

they're so busy, they'll never notice.

10:18

And that's what's really going h

10:20

happening. So, I mean, if you turn

10:24

around, it's 10 years later, if you're

10:26

30, if you're 40, if you're 50, and you

10:29

still don't have a pot to piss in, uh,

10:32

yeah, don't blame the government because

10:35

the government was sold out a long, long

10:38

time ago. We don't have a government per

10:42

se. Uh, we have a oligarchy. And so

10:46

because of that, uh, yep, they're not

10:49

concerned about fairness or ownership,

10:52

particularly not interested in you

10:55

owning anything.

10:57

You don't own your house until, well,

11:00

that's the irony. You don't own your

11:02

house even if every last dime of the

11:04

mortgage is paid off and you get some

11:06

sort of deed to this um property. Uh,

11:11

yet you don't own it then either. uh

11:14

because don't pay try not paying your

11:18

you know property taxes for a year or

11:20

two and see what happens. But that's a

11:23

subject for another time. My point of

11:26

this uh relatively short episode is do

11:30

not engage in foolishness and probably

11:35

as a consequence of that don't spend

11:38

your time with people who do engage in

11:42

foolishness because once again it's just

11:46

going to you know drag you down

11:50

and end

11:52

in the conclusion of what I want to say

11:54

is this.

11:56

Stop using vicarious identification

12:00

in your daytoday lives and then sitting

12:04

around bitching and complaining because

12:08

you don't have anything. Because the

12:10

simple truth is as simple as the old

12:13

phrase itself. If you always do what

12:16

you've always done, you'll always get

12:20

what you always got. I hope you found

12:23

this helpful or interesting. And if you

12:25

have any questions about this or any of

12:28

my other episodes, you can reach out to

12:30

me via my contact link in the

12:33

description below. And if you really

12:36

want to give me a compliment besides

12:38

hitting the subscribe button, telling a

12:41

friend about the show would be the best

12:43

compliment you could ever give me. Until

12:47

next time, this is Ernest and that's all

12:49

I've got for today.
