  1. How To Catch Luck (ft. Joli.Artist)

    How To Catch Luck (ft. Joli.Artist)

    --- 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.

    Edit the past: How to shift realities by editing your memories | Joli Artist

    --- **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. **Youroneblackfriend.com** --- **Timestamps:** 00:00 Introduction 02:10 Reverse Time Travel and Closed Timelike Curves (CTC) 09:58 "Do I Want To Say That" Pause And Choose The Reality Experience 17:19 What Created Humanity And Set The Moon In Place? 28:44 Stop Reliving the Traumatic Events 31:53 Re-Imagine Something Different Happening 01:11:42 Leveraging Forgetfulness: ADHD and Memory Editing --- **Key Explored Questions:** 1.

    How Time Travel Proves We Are Immortal | Joli Artist

    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. youroneblackfriend.com --- Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 05:32 Explaining eternalism and the block universe theory 11:36 Time travel to the future: methods and theories 19:20 "Choose your own destiny" 28:17 Eternalism vs Presentism 41:36 “It’s Not Just One Future" - Many Worlds Interpretation and Eternalism 50:59 "Death only happens to other people" - consciousness can't die --- Key explored questions: 1. What is eternalism in physics? 2. How does the block universe theory relate to time? 3. Is time travel to the future possible? 4. What are the challenges of traveling to the past? 5.

    Death Only Happens To Other People

    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.

    Exploring Infinite Realities: Joli and Kosmic’s Deep Dive into Dark Matter Episodes 1-3 (Part 2)

    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. Youroneblackfriend.com •••

    The Answer To Life, The Universe, And Everything Is Two Die

    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. youroneblackfriend.com Key Explored Questions: 1. What is the meaning of the number 42 in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? 2. Are we living in a simulation created to experience endings and limitations? 3. How does our perception of sight actually work? 4. Can we navigate our consciousness to different future realities? 5. How will AI impact storytelling and interactive multimedia experiences? 6. Should we give meaning to ominous dreams or declare them meaningless? 7. Are we energy beings that cannot truly die but only shift forms? 8.
