Our nation’s big problem, is not a mystery, but social control, hidden in plain sight.
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
Speaker:people can't understand Universal truths
Speaker:if you tell someone for example not to
Speaker:do a certain thing it seems they're only
Speaker:more determined to do it so if you
Speaker:really want to witness someone
Speaker:completely destroy their lives
Speaker:especially when they're really young
Speaker:give them good well-meaning advice and
Speaker:you can bet your ass versus a psychotic
Speaker:sailor they'll do the exact opposite on
Speaker:the other hand if it's someone you
Speaker:really despise maybe giving such a
Speaker:advice is not such a bad idea hello
Speaker:folks I'm Ernest and it's Friday we made
Speaker:it through another week of making our
Speaker:obscenely Rich owners even richer now
Speaker:before you jump to the assumption that
Speaker:I'm a communist or a socialist I'm not
Speaker:so just please hear me out and have the
Speaker:courage to do what few others can
Speaker:actually do today think for yourself
Speaker:hell I'm not going to be discussing
Speaker:politics but I am going to try to do is
Speaker:clear up one very huge
Speaker:misconception no one and I do mean no
Speaker:one can make America great again because
Speaker:the statement which is currently Donald
Speaker:Trump's tagline is so utterly ambiguous
Speaker:and simultaneously
Speaker:undefiable yet it definitely reaches out
Speaker:with strong nationalistic and
Speaker:sociological fantasies that were neither
Speaker:universally true or un ially good in the
Speaker:1950s or even to the present day to give
Speaker:just one small example overall life
Speaker:could be very good in the 1950s if a man
Speaker:had a good paying job more often than
Speaker:not with the Union living in the brand
Speaker:new suburbs and was basically given a
Speaker:down payment on a home or being able to
Speaker:attend college or university free of
Speaker:charge using his GI Bill
Speaker:assuming of course he survived World War
Speaker:II but life was very difficult if you
Speaker:were a dirt poor sharecropper living in
Speaker:the South with no GI Bill and no new
Speaker:suburbs to escape to like I said the
Speaker:real issue here is not politics but a
Speaker:closely guarded secret that the true
Speaker:owners of this country don't want the
Speaker:average citizen to know or worse yet
Speaker:understand because it would completely
Speaker:undermine and destroy their empire of
Speaker:control now in the corporate controlled
Speaker:news media on the Rarity that the
Speaker:subject of population is even mentioned
Speaker:of which it might be a total of two or
Speaker:three seconds we are reassuringly told
Speaker:that the world's population overall is
Speaker:decreasing but to put this very politely
Speaker:that's simply not true and if I were to
Speaker:put this in terms of its relative urgy
Speaker:for our survival I would call it what it
Speaker:actually is a [ __ ] piece of
Speaker:propaganda designed so the population
Speaker:will not become frightened or
Speaker:uncooperative wage slaves which of
Speaker:course would be bad for
Speaker:profits what has changed for the time
Speaker:being is the rate of increase has
Speaker:somewhat slowed but it's still
Speaker:increasing nonetheless and any source
Speaker:that tells you otherwise either has an
Speaker:agenda or simply doesn't know what the
Speaker:hell they're talking about having said
Speaker:that here's some truth on what is really
Speaker:important to
Speaker:know America in 1950 had a population of
Speaker:around 162 Million by 1980 when I was a
Speaker:teenager 237 million and currently it's
Speaker:around
Speaker:350 million so just since 19 1980 alone
Speaker:that's a difference of
Speaker:113 million more
Speaker:people that's a difference of almost 200
Speaker:million more people since
Speaker:1950 even adjusting for deaths from all
Speaker:causes and this is just for the US not
Speaker:human population growth for the entire
Speaker:world so if you want a realist
Speaker:explanation of what's going on although
Speaker:these are not all the factors
Speaker:contributing to the problem there are
Speaker:two M primary
Speaker:causes one greed and two no serious
Speaker:implementation of population control and
Speaker:the primary reason there is no
Speaker:desperately needed number two is because
Speaker:there is number one and if number one is
Speaker:not rapidly Adit eliminated through in
Speaker:incentivized change number two will
Speaker:eventually kill all of
Speaker:us as far as the greed part of the
Speaker:equation there are many that have argued
Speaker:which I absolutely agree with that the
Speaker:overall level of greed has dramatically
Speaker:increased since the
Speaker:1950s and the level of absolutely
Speaker:obscene business profit ratios paint a
Speaker:very clear picture of that reality I
Speaker:believe that people like Jeff Brazos are
Speaker:a perfectly good example of this but
Speaker:regardless of where you stand on that
Speaker:issue what is completely undeniable for
Speaker:those who have the courage to confront
Speaker:this reality is the ab absolutely
Speaker:unchecked increase in
Speaker:population which is only making a really
Speaker:bad situation worse and it's only going
Speaker:to get worse allow me to give you this
Speaker:simple analogy to
Speaker:illustrate let's say we have a performer
Speaker:and he isn't very successful until one
Speaker:day he meets the devil and agrees to
Speaker:give his soul to the devil for fame and
Speaker:success the devil in turn gives the
Speaker:performer a small bottle with a strange
Speaker:fluid inside he tells the performer to
Speaker:take the whole bottle of that fluid just
Speaker:before going on stage and he will be a
Speaker:success he also tells him that the
Speaker:bottle will refill automatically so it's
Speaker:ready for every performance but he must
Speaker:use it for every
Speaker:performance the performer does as
Speaker:instructed by the devil and very quickly
Speaker:becomes very successful but what he
Speaker:notices over time is the more he uses
Speaker:the potion the more physically he is
Speaker:wasting away in other words the very
Speaker:thing that he is taking for his success
Speaker:is also slow killing
Speaker:him one of the pillars of corporate
Speaker:capitalism is Perpetual growth and the
Speaker:only way you can have Perpetual growth
Speaker:is if you have more and more consumers
Speaker:you can't have less consumers and not
Speaker:even a static number of consumers there
Speaker:must always be growth which in case you
Speaker:don't already know are the same
Speaker:immutable laws of a virus or a cancer
Speaker:Perpetual growth until it kills the host
Speaker:unfortunately I don't have the time to
Speaker:discuss the alternatives to corporate
Speaker:capitalism in this episode but I will
Speaker:talk about the Alternatives in a future
Speaker:video if you like but what I can tell
Speaker:you with absolute certainty is that
Speaker:before anyone can Implement alternatives
Speaker:to improve was essentially a gigantic
Speaker:ponai scheme of a government there has
Speaker:to be a clear admission that the current
Speaker:system is not working and only until
Speaker:that happens can we have a system which
Speaker:works much better to improve the lives
Speaker:of the majority of its people something
Speaker:called proper governance which is
Speaker:supposed to be the ultimate purpose of a
Speaker:nation's
Speaker:government so dear listener did you find
Speaker:what I had to say interesting or do you
