WHAT IS THE EARNEST MANN SHOW REALLY ALL ABOUT? PC# 446 EARNEST MANN’S: ADVANCED PERCEPTION EP.3 PT.1
Why I Created The Earnest Mann Show and What It’s Really About
Hello, I'm Earnest Mann. This episode is personal. I’m sharing why I created this show, how it's become a part of me, and why it's not just another piece of fast food entertainment. A lot of folks ask me what this show is really for—and today, I give you the clearest answer I’ve ever given.
The Purpose: Helping People Think for Themselves
What I’m really trying to do is help people solve life problems by looking at the world from a completely different angle. I specialize in cutting through the noise—separating the wheat from the chaff. Whether it's politics, religion, or the fight between determinism and free will, I’m not here to push a narrative. I’m here to get you thinking.
On Politics and Religion: Why I Stay Neutral
I know my content sometimes sounds political or even religious, but I’m not trying to represent the right or the left. I’m nonpartisan because frankly, in the grand scheme, almost none of it matters. Same goes for religion—I'm agnostic, but I’ve had very real experiences with what I call spirit forces. That might sound contradictory, but it’s not when you truly explore it.
Determinism vs. Free Will: The Real Crisis
The real threat we’re facing isn’t from politicians or preachers. It’s from the widespread belief in determinism. Too many have given up on free will, and with that, they’ve given up on hope. It’s why so many are angry, lost, and blaming each other.
To the Critics: This Show Is Not Fast Food Content
Now let me speak bluntly. Some criticize how I talk—say I’m too slow, or don’t get to the point fast enough. Well, tough. This isn’t built for short attention spans or sensationalist banter. It’s meant to make you think deeply. If you're here for cheap laughs or clickbait, you’re in the wrong place.

Transcript
00:00 It's such a strange thing when something is so much a part of yourself when it has become an actual extension of yourself. I feel as though I almost must get permission to talk about it. As though in some bizarre way my show is its own person. Hello, I'm Ernest. Welcome. I receive this question a lot and I just recently realized it would probably be helpful if I would make an episode about that very subject itself. So, here goes.
00:40 As things stand right now, what I'm trying to accomplish with this show is basically trying to help others solve their life problems by having a very different take on well, just about anything and everything out there. I'm very good at separating the wheat from the chaff, which of course means well just about anything.
01:07 I'm not trying to be annoyingly vague. It's just that sometimes it's difficult to identify certain things in life that can be problems in terms of cause and effect that actually make any sense to people when your statements run contrary to an overwhelming and relentless narrative, which is what makes helping people so damn difficult. Take politics for example.
01:34 I may sometimes post a story that certainly seems very effectively political. I do stories sometimes that are quickly interpreted as being on the right or on the left. Yet in reality, I'm completely nonpartisan. And I'm nonpartisan because on absolute real terms, virtually nothing political matters, which I suppose makes some people angry because they believe I'm being deliberately ambiguous, which I assure you I'm not.
02:15 Or how about religion? Ah, yes, that's a good one. I made it perfectly clear that I am totally agnostic, which you might think on the surface would make the subject of religion a dead end, but that's not the case because I believe in spirit forces. Now, we don't have to use the exact term spirit forces. I personally prefer to call them forces, but whatever the hell you choose to call them, I believe in them, especially since I have experienced such forces myself and I continue to do so.
02:59 Which also segus into the next dilemma, determinism versus free will. You see, I don't think there's very many people that would argue with me that the world is in a very dark and difficult place right now. Many people are frustrated and angry and pointing the finger at each other. But what many people don't realize is that this is a direct consequence of when the vast majority of people on the planet have been convinced to turn away from free will and embrace the shackles of determinism, which I believe is a horrible thing to do because ultimately
03:43 determinism robs humanity of its greatest gift and aspiration. hope. My point in all of this is that the vast majority of people in this world are all suffering under the yoke of one great delusion, determinism. And to use an old analogy reversed, people have become extremely good at identifying the trees, but have lost all concept of the forest.
04:18 So, now that you're getting to know me a bit better, I'm going to speak very candidly and coarsely about a great frustration of mine. Those of you who know me, you know, I don't curse or use socalled vulgarity lightly. But I also believe there can be a time and place for anything.
04:40 And I just wanted to share with you my thoughts on a certain segment of humanity that I can only wish would collectively commit just one noble act in their otherwise completely vacuous and inane existence to win a Darwin award. There is something I hear repeatedly. So, I'm responding in the hopes that I won't have to keep repeating this message to the mentally deficient who are taking the valuable time of the investors in my show who I absolutely appreciate.
05:20 Some seem concerned about my speech, namely that I speak too slowly or take too long to get to the point. I hear you. And after giving it a great deal of serious consideration, here's my most well-reasoned and iridite response to those who are concerned with this. you. There was that hyper fast and hyper concise enough for you. This is not fast food news.
05:50 It is not fast food entertainment. This is meant to be informing to produce actual thinking that has taken a great deal of introspection, thought, and time to produce. The key word being thought, a process apparently those of you complaining have little interest in. So, if you're looking for nonsensical banter produced by and apparently poor those with the attention span of a canary, by all means go there.
06:23 Millions love Matt Walsh and Terren Howard, just as millions love Budweiser beer and Belvita cheese, which I believe is a pretty reasonable comparison. Although I do believe that Budweiser and Belvita Cheese actually have more substance. So to make this as clear as even a blind man could see, this is not a show paring a narrative.
06:51 It's not what I'm about, what this show is about, or what my viewers and podcast listeners are about. My viewers are people who actually want to be informed. They are not idiots. Now, if you are a new listener, thank you for staying till the end. It would certainly appear you're not an idiot.
07:17 And since you're not an idiot, subscribe and hit the damn notification bell because it really does help the channel grow, which in turn ends up being a really good way of getting rid of even more idiots. But of course, you not being an idiot, I did need to tell you that. Until next Monday or Friday, this is Ernest and I usually always am.
