The Importance of Judging in Today's World

Hey there, Earnest Mann here! Today, I’m sharing an experience that really underscores the importance of judgment in navigating life’s challenges. A guy once sat next to me at a bar, delivering a lengthy monologue about his life without asking for a word in return. As he left, he thanked me for being a good listener, blissfully unaware that had I spoken, my thoughts would have been far less complimentary. This led me to reflect on something deeper: why is judgment such a taboo in today's society?

Why You Need to Embrace Judging Situations

Our society today frowns upon being “judgmental,” associating it with negativity or even comparing it to more extreme labels like racism. However, judgment is vital to survival. From analyzing the actions of authority figures to making split-second decisions in dangerous situations, judging people and circumstances isn't just a right—it's a necessity. Without the ability to judge, we become paralyzed by indecision.

The Myth of Being Non-Judgmental

Society’s pressure to be non-judgmental has left many, particularly the young and woke, trapped in existential crises over the simplest of decisions. I argue that being judgmental—when informed by knowledge and experience—actually leads to better decisions. The ability to judge has kept me safe in countless situations, and it's one of the key tools we have to move forward confidently in life.

The Bigger Picture: Life Isn't About Pleasing Everyone

The truth is, you can’t please everyone. Worrying about whether you’re going to be judged, or whether you’re judging others, only keeps you from living your life. Life is short, and we’re not here just to consume. We are meant to accomplish something meaningful, something that can help others.

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it.

With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price for it, because even if they’re able to pay that price, they believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I understand with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are typically due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.

This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell ever really needs to be said, so please help me, as well as others, by leaving your thoughts, and hopefully.... subscribing.

I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.

Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.

Please consider, that by visiting the website and supporting this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head! I look forward to you reaching out to me, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!
