In this episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation," Joli discusses the recent election and its implications for America. She offers a unique perspective on the election results, addressing everything from voter turnout to the Democratic Party's shortcomings.
Joli explores how the two-party system has evolved into what she sees as essentially a one-party system, with Republicans controlling multiple branches of government. Rather than approaching this from a place of fear, she encourages viewers to focus on personal growth and active engagement in their own lives.
Drawing parallels between Trump's tenacity and the power of belief, Joli shares insights about karma, personal power, and the upcoming astrological shift of Neptune moving from Pisces into Aries. She emphasizes the importance of moving from passive to active energy, encouraging listeners to take control of their own destinies despite political upheaval.

On this episode of "So You’re Living in a Simulation," Joli delves into the concept of luck, emphasizing that it’s not merely random chance but something that can be actively influenced.
She draws on the analogy of fishing to explain how people can "catch" luck, comparing it to hunting or preparing for low-probability events that lead to success. Luck isn’t just about being in the right place at the right time; it’s about positioning yourself in the right places often enough that when a lucky break happens, you’re ready to seize it.
Joli encourages listeners to think of their work—whether it's art, a product, or a service—as seeds. The more seeds you plant, the more opportunities you create for them to grow into success. She stresses the importance of diversifying efforts, networking, and consistently putting yourself out there to increase your visibility.
By being proactive, prepared, and strategic, you can turn low-probability events into opportunities that feel like luck.
The episode also touches on how randomness follows patterns we may not always perceive, connecting this to the simulation theory.
Joli reminds her audience to take care of their health and well-being, as physical and mental stamina are essential when opportunities arise.

**In this thought-provoking episode of the "So You’re Living in a Simulation" Podcast, Joli explores the relationship between memory, consciousness, and the multiverse.**
Starting with the challenges of memory retention, particularly for those with ADHD, Joli suggests that our minds often resurface irrelevant or painful memories without benefit. But what if we could selectively forget those who’ve caused us harm?
She proposes a radical approach to memory: consciously editing past experiences by imagining different outcomes in parallel realities. By doing this, Joli argues, we can reframe our narratives and change our futures.
Throughout the episode, she discusses how looping positive memories, rather than traumatic ones, can help shift our mindsets. She also cautions against becoming trapped in victimhood by reliving past trauma and advocates for using memory editing as a tool for personal growth.
Drawing parallels to video editing, Joli encourages listeners to actively "cut out" the negative parts of their stories that no longer serve them.
Using anecdotes, she highlights how reframing can even influence our physical and emotional states. The episode concludes with a powerful metaphor: just as actors can be left on the editing floor, so too can people and memories that don’t deserve a role in your life’s narrative.

On this episode of “Your One Black Friend” Podcast, Joli delves into the profound concepts of time, consciousness, and parallel universes.
She begins by questioning the limitations imposed by our understanding of time travel, proposing that the notion of causality and past events might be challenged by the existence of parallel universes. Joli argues that while traditional physics suggests time travel to the past could violate fundamental laws, the existence of parallel realities offers a way around these constraints.
Joli then explores the idea of immortality from a fourth-dimensional perspective, suggesting that our consciousness exists across multiple points in space-time. She explains that when we learn or grow, we are effectively "dying" and transitioning to a new variant of ourselves in this continuous journey through time. This shifting consciousness means that even if one version of ourselves dies, other variants in different timelines or realities persist.
The discussion further expands into the concept of quantum immortality, which posits that consciousness cannot truly die but instead continues in parallel universes where one survives potentially fatal events. Joli emphasizes that this idea supports the notion that no consciousness truly experiences death; it merely transitions to other states of existence.
Joli concludes by reflecting on the limitations of current technology, which prevents us from interacting with past or parallel versions of loved ones. She suggests that, despite this, the essence of our being—our consciousness—continues to exist throughout all of space-time. She envisions a future where technology could one day track and interact with these different states of being, reinforcing the idea that we are more expansive and eternal than the linear perception of life and death might suggest.

On this episode of “Your One Black Friend” Podcast, Joli begins by recounting a conversation with her editor Allwin, who expressed existential concerns about aging, suffering, and the cycle of life and death.
Joli challenges conventional views on death, suggesting it may be an illusion rooted in societal conditioning (rather than an absolute end.) She proposes that our fear of death stems from a limited understanding of consciousness and reality.
Drawing on various philosophical and scientific concepts, Joli presents alternative perspectives on the continuity of consciousness beyond physical death.
Joli delves into topics such as simulation theory, reincarnation, and the cyclical nature of existence. She then explores ideas about the relationship between masculine and feminine energies, the fall of Matriarchy and shift to Patriarchy (from moon to sun worship,) and offers a speculative narrative about the origins of gender and civilization spanning Mars, Venus, and Earth.
Throughout the episode, Joli encourages listeners to question mainstream beliefs about aging, mortality, and the nature of reality. She emphasizes the power of individual belief systems in shaping one's experience of life and suggests that embracing alternative perspectives can lead to a more fulfilling and less fearful existence.
Joli concludes by advocating for personal exploration of these existential questions, urging listeners to develop their own philosophies and beliefs to navigate life's challenges. She presents her ideas as possibilities to consider rather than absolute truths, inviting the audience to engage in deeper contemplation about existence.

In Part 2 of this episode of "Your One Black Friend," Joli and guest host Kosmic Jedi continue their exploration of parallel universes, inspired by the themes and narrative of Blake Crouch's novel "Dark Matter," now a series on Apple TV. (Part 2 of this discussion deals only with episode 1-3 of the series.) Kosmic & Joli delve into the concept of infinite realities and discuss how this idea allows for endless possibilities and outcomes, making the show's narrative both exciting and thought-provoking.
How does the concept of infinite realities reshape our understanding of personal identity?
How does soul memory influence intuition and decision-making?
How does exploring alternate timelines affect our perception of regret?
Joli and Kosmic Jedi analyze the complex themes of the show, including Eastern mysticism, physics, and psychological analysis. They appreciate how these elements are intricately woven together to create a multi-layered narrative that encourages viewers to think deeply about the nature of reality and the choices we make.
The discussion also touches on character relationships, focusing on the sacrifices and decisions made by the characters, particularly in the context of gender roles and personal fulfillment. They compare the show to other media like "Rick and Morty," "Invincible," and movies such as "The One" with Jet Li and "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington, highlighting how these works handle the concept of multiple realities.
Joli and Kosmic Jedi reflect on their own lives, contemplating how different decisions could have led to different outcomes. They emphasize the importance of intuition and the belief in multiple chances or lifetimes to experience different paths, suggesting that this mindset can reduce regret and anxiety by accepting the existence of parallel realities.
The conversation also explores philosophical insights, particularly the idea of letting go of regret and anxiety by recognizing that this is not the only lifetime or timeline. They discuss how adopting this perspective can lead to a more relaxed and observant approach to life, reducing the fear of missing out and the intensity of decision-making.
Throughout the discussion, Joli and Kosmic Jedi express a strong appreciation for the show and its ability to spark deep, reflective conversations about life, choices, and the nature of reality. They commend the creators for their ability to address complex themes in an engaging and thought-provoking manner, making it a standout piece of media.

In Part 1 of this episode of "Your One Black Friend," Joli and Guest Host @KosmicJedi delve into the fascinating themes of Time Loops, Parallel Universes, and “Reality Transurfing”, leading to a discussion of Blake Crouch's novel "Dark Matter," (now a series on Apple TV.)
What impact do the choices we make have on the paths our lives take?
The conversation organically transitions into a broader discussion about the concept of time, routine, and how society's rigid structures often conflict with individual natural rhythms, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. Joli and Kosmic highlight how modern technology and societal expectations can stifle creativity and productivity, suggesting that breaking free from these constraints can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Throughout the episode, the dynamic duo skillfully intertwines personal anecdotes with speculative fiction. References to popular culture, such as "Doctor Who," "X-Men," and "Back to the Future," are used to illustrate the philosophical and practical implications of living in a multiverse, providing listeners with thought-provoking insights and entertaining discussions.

On this episode of "Your One Black Friend," titled "The Answer to Life, Universe, and Everything is to Die," Joli explores the profound implications behind Douglas Adams' famous number 42 from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." She reveals a mind-blowing interpretation that 42 symbolizes the concept of "to die," suggesting that our reality is a simulation designed to experience endings and death, created by entities that are incapable of dying.
Joli connects this interpretation to themes discussed in her own podcast, "The Dark Oracle's Guide to the Multiverse," where she posits that our world's limitations and delays in gratification simulate the experiences of mortality and desire. She delves into the role of consciousness in navigating different realities and emphasizes the importance of intention in choosing our future experiences.
Throughout the episode, Joli reflects on the nature of perception, the potential of AI to mirror human consciousness, and the philosophical implications of dreams as windows into parallel universes. She concludes with a discussion on the eternal nature of energy and matter, reinforcing the idea that while we may shift forms, we never truly cease to exist. This episode challenges conventional perceptions of life and death, offering a unique blend of science fiction, philosophy, and personal insights.

In this episode, your hostess Joli, (aka Jo the Storyteller,) begins by challenging the conventional notion that successful adults must engage in serious professions, highlighting how many top earners, such as athletes and entertainers, thrive by engaging in playful, childlike activities.
We then delve into a philosophical inquiry about the illusion of choice and the deterministic nature of our lives, suggesting that while we can choose paths, we don't control the circumstances we encounter.
Next, the idea that our lives may be part of a larger, organised system are explored. She questions the materialistic, scientific worldview that assumes reality is purely physical and posits that there could be deeper metaphysical layers to existence that we cannot currently perceive or understand. The discussion touches on the limitations of human perception and how our understanding of the universe is restricted by our senses.
Throughout the episode, Jo encourages viewers to reflect on their belief systems. By blending humor, personal anecdotes, and philosophical insights, Jo urges listeners to create their own belief systems or risk being enslaved by those imposed by others.
youroneblackfriend.com
Some of the key points and ideas she explores include:
- Our lives and reality itself could be a kind of story or narrative driven by sentient, abstract forces or entities that we are unaware of.
- Time may operate in reverse in a kind of "anti-universe", where our experienced flow of time from birth to death is actually going backwards compared to the "normal" direction. Our visible universe may only be 5% of all existence.
- We may be living in a simulation, game, or constructed reality rather than a purely materialistic physical universe that arose by chance.
- Our perceived individual choices and paths through life may actually be predetermined, raising questions about free will versus determinism.
- After death, our consciousness or existence may continue in other realms, dimensions or parallel universes, contrary to the materialist view of annihilation.
- Ancient advanced civilizations may have existed before our currently understood history began after some antediluvian cataclysm or reset.
Joli advocates creating one's own philosophical belief system rather than blindly accepting the prevailing materialistic worldview promoted through institutions like science and media. She aims to explore these unconventional ideas through an entertaining lens of storytelling to make them more palatable and thought-provoking.

In this thought-provoking episode, Joli explores the mind-bending hypothesis that humanity and our entire reality could be an artificial simulation or "time box" created by an advanced civilization. She presents evidence suggesting our world has programmed limitations, from our DNA to societal divisions, hinting at an intelligent design behind the scenes.
Joli challenges the assumption that the creators of our reality must be supremely intelligent beings, drawing analogies to AI systems that can surpass human capabilities in specific tasks despite having less overall intelligence than their creators.
She speculates that our reality is a simulation aimed at exploring the fundamental question of the meaning of life, created by beings who may themselves exist within a higher simulation. Joli describes a fractal, recursive view where there is ultimately only one primordial consciousness that has infinitely divided and fragmented itself across countless realities and dimensions in an eternal quest for meaning and purpose.
In this captivating discussion, Joli prompts profound questions about the nature of our existence and whether the drive to simulate realities stems from the desperate solitude of a singular, primeval intelligence grasping for answers to its own origins.

In this episode titled "Money is Time," Joli discusses the often-overlooked truth behind the exchange of labor for money, emphasizing how money essentially represents hours of one's life.
Joli challenges the common perception of money as merely a transactional tool, urging listeners to reevaluate how they spend their earnings. She illustrates the idea that spending money on trivial items equates to spending precious life hours on them. She further explains that money, as an intermediary, obscures the depreciation and devaluation of life's value.
Joli critiques the consumer culture that encourages spending on overpriced, branded goods like Louis Vuitton bags, which she argues cost significantly more than their production value. This spending habit, she notes, leads to a disproportionate exchange of life hours for items of minimal intrinsic value.
Joli also touches on how the economic system inflates the value of money, further depreciating the value of an individual's labor and life.
Drawing a parallel with the movie "In Time," where time is the ultimate currency, Joli reflects on the dystopian reality of wealth inequality and the commodification of time. She argues that the current economic system, with its skewed valuation of labor and goods, mirrors the movie's critique of time as a commodified resource.
Joli concludes by urging listeners to become more mindful of their spending, recognizing that each transaction represents a portion of their life. She advocates for a reevaluation of values, suggesting that individuals focus on what truly enriches their lives rather than succumbing to consumerist impulses driven by branding and societal expectations. By doing so, Joli suggests that individuals can reclaim the true value of their time and lead more meaningful lives.

On today’s episode, Joli proposes a direct and profound connection between ADHD minds and the universe’s structure, suggesting a deeper, intrinsic alignment.
What if the ADHD mind reflects an intuitive understanding of the universe?
We will explore the intriguing concepts of algorithms in our reality, synchronicity, and how these ideas might relate to the ADHD brain.
This discussion was inspired by an excerpt from "Dimensions" by Jacques Vallée that discusses how modern information systems utilize algorithms and keywords for data retrieval, suggesting that our universe might be organised in the same way.
Piggybacking on the idea, Joli proposes that our universe appears organised as an associative database rather than a linear, sequential one, proposing that synchronicities and coincidences might reveal an order to the universe that is akin to an algorithm in a software program.
This associative model of the universe could also offer insights into the nature of the ADHD brain, which often navigates the world in a non-linear, associative manner.
Joli also discusses how we perceive and impart meaning to our experiences. The section on meaning explores how individuals construct significance and apply meaning to events based on their perceptions, beliefs, and cultural contexts, highlighting that meaning is not inherent but created by us. “We are meaning generating machines.”
It emphasizes individual agency in the meaning-making process.
In summary, Joli posits that ADHD minds, who often experience reality in a non-linear fashion, might be closely aligned with the fundamental nature of reality. This perspective posits that embracing a non-linear, associative view could enrich our understanding of the world and deepen our sense of connection with reality.

Imagine your mine as an app and your brain as the hardware/computer. Can you use your mind as one would use an app: engaging and disengaging it at will, and exiting out of it when done?
Think of the mind’s internal monologue to an app running in the background of your cellphone that drains the device’s battery. The continuous, often uncontrollable internal dialogue can lead to mental strain and exhaustion. Just as background apps consume power even when you’re not actively using them, the constant chatter of your mind can sap your mental energy without your conscious realization. This internal dialogue can range from worries about the future, replaying past events, to self-talk about current situations.
Conscious control and intentional engagement/disengagement from the mind can prevent exhaustion.
Joli encourages users to practice the mental discipline of redirecting attention away from this internal noise to the immediate present, deliberately using the mind as a tool rather than a source of distraction. The aim is to utilize the mind actively and purposefully, rather than allowing it to become a source of interference that pulls us away from the present moment.
The concept of an Associative Model of the Universe, is also discussed. This model suggests a view where our universe isn’t strictly governed by linear causality (where Effects directly follow Causes in a straightforward sequence.)
Instead, it proposes that the universe operates through a network of interconnected occurrences, where events are linked not just by cause-and-effect relationships but by associations that might not be linear or direct.
This model implies that events in the universe can be related in various ways that go beyond simple causality. These connections might be based on similarities, synchronicities, or patterns that don’t necessarily adhere to the traditional understanding of time and causation.
In such a model, understanding the universe requires looking at the bigger picture of how things are related, rather than just tracing direct lines of cause and effect.
This lends itself to a discussion on deterministic physics and philosophical occasionalism, as well as the implications of this perspective on personal autonomy, mental health, and societal behavior. If every decision or action is the result of a chain of events set in motion by past events, there isn’t much we do control. This acceptance could lead to peace through surrendering to the flow of life, reducing anxiety over making “wrong” choices, and fostering a deeper connection to the universe or divinity, (depending on one’s perspective.)
Lastly, Joli reflects on a social media post that resonated with her, tying in themes of mental liberation, societal norms, and the nature of sanity. She concludes with personal insights and interpretations of the song "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, questioning the societal norms that define sanity and celebrating the freedom found in embracing one’s uniqueness, even if it leads others to question your sanity.

In this episode, Joli Artist, nka JoJo the Storyteller, 😏 examines the intersection of storytelling and our perception of reality. She advocates for the importance of questions over answers and the importance of fostering a society that encourages and values free and exploratory thinking.
The episode begins with a reflection on a surprisingly profound Twitter post by Elmo, which led to an existential conversation about the public’s general dissatisfaction with life. Joli offers listeners a unique perspective through a playful, dark twist on Elmo himself, while showing that even simple online interactions can often reveal deeper societal issues.
Critiquing the traditional education system's role in stifling creativity and inquiry. Drawing inspiration from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,' Joli underscores the vital necessity of cultivating the skill to ask meaningful questions in the upcoming Age of AI. This discussion serves as a metaphorical guide for listeners, encouraging them to seek out the right questions that lead to a deeper understanding of their place in the universe.

Is Your Life a Favorite Song to Higher Dimensional Beings? | Cosmic Philosophy & The Music of Existence
Join Joli and her special guest, The Kosmic Jedi, in this thought-provoking episode of "Your One Black Friend." Dive into discussions on collective consciousness, the role of nature as a teacher, and the concept of being "watchers" in society. Explore the idea of life as a grand symphony, and how we contribute to the harmony or discord of the collective melody.
In this episode, Joli Artist and The Kosmic Jedi delve into the philosophical depths of existence, questioning if our lives are akin to music for higher-dimensional beings.
Could advanced life forms view human life as unique songs in a cosmic catalog?
Imagine a species of advanced, higher-dimensional life forms with lifespans incomprehensibly longer than our own, who have crafted our reality as a form of entertainment. To them, each of our lives is a unique song in a cosmic catalog of their music.
Think of a being experiencing your life as you would your favorite symphony. Our planet could simply be one symphonic anthology within a vast, nearly infinite collection of cosmic albums.
Can you think of Earth as a constantly evolving musical score, where each species, ecosystem, and geological event contributes its own unique sound to the overall composition? Picture everything on our planet as part of a dynamic, living album that's always playing, with Higher-dimensional beings 'tuning in' to witness the rich variety of melodies created by the interaction of natural and human influences.
This concept mirrors Friedrich Nietzsche's Eternal Return, which suggests the universe and everything within it recurs infinitely. It likewise aligns with the Big Bounce theory in cosmology which posits that the universe undergoes continuous cycles of expansion and contraction. Could each “Big Bounce“ cycle be akin to a complex record playing on a device engineered by higher beings?
In the future, there will exist a technology that will allow us tweak our favourite songs to fit our tastes perfectly. But what if a similar technology is already shaping our lives, used by whatever engineered or is engineering our reality? In this scenario, our lives would loop like a favourite song, with the device’s technology enabling slight variations with each playback, resulting in subtle differences in every cycle. This would allow for adjustments to our life ‘tracks’ during each loop or “recurrence,” in a manner similar to how you will soon be able to modify your favourite music to suit your exact preferences.
