The Gods Must Be Stupid/ An Infinite Regression to One Primordial Consciousness

The Gods Must Be Stupid/ An Infinite Regression to One Primordial Consciousness

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.

Money = Life Energy Exchange. (What Are You Spending Your Life On?)

Money = Life Energy Exchange. (What Are You Spending Your Life On?)

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.

Synchronicity, ADHD Minds and Reality’s Algorithm

Synchronicity, ADHD Minds and Reality’s Algorithm

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.

Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?

Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?

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.

Beyond 42: A Storyteller’s Guide to Success in Tomorrow’s World

Beyond 42: A Storyteller’s Guide to Success in Tomorrow’s World

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.

Joli also discusses the concept of the 'NPC' or Not Presently Conscious, challenging listeners to rise above the autopilot mode of existence and intentionally contribute to humanity's collective narrative.

The concept of 'desire magnetism'—the idea that strong desires can sometimes have unintended consequences—is also introduced. This serves as a reminder to consciously align our desires with our life goals for more effective personal development.

This episode invites viewers to consider deep questions about consciousness, the role of storytelling in understanding our world, and how to live meaningfully amidst technological advancements. Join Joli Artist for an engaging exploration into the essence of consciousness, the significance of storytelling in shaping our reality, and the quest for meaningful existence in a rapidly evolving world. This episode is an invitation to ponder the profound questions that define our reality, offering a beacon for those willing to engage in open thought and challenge the narratives that shape our lives.


It is aimed at those interested in philosophy, the impact of technology on society, and personal growth.

Is Your Life the Favorite Song of A Higher Dimensional Being?A Creative Exploration of String Theory

Is Your Life the Favorite Song of A Higher Dimensional Being?A Creative Exploration of String Theory

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. Questions Explored: - Can our lives be like music to beings from other dimensions? - What does Nietzsche mean by life repeating forever/eternal occurrence? - Do beings from other worlds watch our lives? - Are we like entertainment to advanced alien civilizations? - Can we think of our lives as songs? - How do deeper ideas change how we see life? - Is there a link between science and spiritual beliefs? - Creative applications of string theory? - How do we fit into the bigger picture of the universe? - Is everything we do part of a bigger cosmic story? - What's cosmic philosophy all about? - How does the idea of life repeating affect us? - Is there proof of higher dimensions? - How can we understand collective consciousness? - What does it mean to be a "watcher" in society? - Can life be compared to a symphony? - What is the significance of being "out of tune" in life? - How does the concept of a hive mind apply to humanity? - Can our life stories be symphonies to other beings? - What are the implications of considering existence as music? -Can science and spirituality find common ground? - How are quantum theory and life's mysteries connected? - Are there other beings aware of us? - What if Earth is just a track in a cosmic album? - How can thinking of life as a symphony change my perspective? - How do philosophy and science help solve life's big mysteries?

Considering the thriving of African Americans communities after slavery, and atrocities like the bombing of Black Wallstreet, Jim Crow, and other acts of American Apartheid, I would argue that the consequences we are dealing with presently has more to do with a systemic application of oppression by the powers that be and the continuous reinforcement or wh*te supremacy practices still in occurrence to this day.

Attributes of a 4-D being: A 4D being possesses the ability to move through time as a fourth dimension, potentially perceiving past, present, and future simultaneously. Now in our physical bodies, we humans are bound to 3 dimensions, a linear flow of time, and the experience of one timeline at a time. But we are not our bodies.

Quantum Immortality & The Power Of Infinity (Using a Materialist Approach to Argue No one Dies.)

Quantum Immortality & The Power Of Infinity (Using a Materialist Approach to Argue No one Dies.)

The power of infinity: you give an anomaly enough time, and eventually, the anomaly will repeat. It’s only a MATTER of TIME. Get it?

You get it.

Right.

In an infinite universe, death is an illusion. As "matter cannot be created or destroyed, only modified" according to the law of conservation of mass. Which means that even from a #materialist approach, no one really dies.

Or perhaps more precisely: no one stays dead🧟‍♀️. While your body will degrade, IN TIME it will regenerate into the exact same form in this exact same world. Exactly like a #TimeLord…but slower…depending on your perspective.

Now, some proponents of the Anthropic Principal propose that the origins of our universe was random/because of a “statistical fluke.” However, given enough time, and taking a much broader perspective, (perhaps from the view point of an immortal being outside of time 👀), statistical flukes would be seen as patterns.

So, how many times do you think you have you lived your life before? How many times will you again?

Currently, whether the universe is finite or infinite remains an open and actively researched topic in cosmology many great scientists believed we live in an infinite universe. Isaac Newton thought the universe infinite in size. Albert Einstein proposed a temporally infinite. Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Giordano Bruno, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Max Tegmark and many others also theorised that our universe is infinite.

Additionally, scientists such as Paul Steinhardt, Neil Turok, Roger Penrose, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Eric J. Chaisson have further proposed a cyclical universal model where everything cycles: (Big) Bang, (Big) Crunch, (Big) Bounce, repeat.

So, for the sake of this discussion, we will operate from the premise that we are living in an infinite universe.

In an infinite or near-infinite universe, everything that can happen will happen again and again. Given enough time, anything is possible. This means that you may have lived your life before…and will again.

Deja vu, anyone?

The Curse of Success: How “Success”Kills Creativity Pt. 1

The Curse of Success: How “Success”Kills Creativity Pt. 1

Exploring the Success-Creativity Paradox.

The term "Success-Creativity Paradox" refers to the apparent conflict or tension that can arise between success and creativity. While it is not a literal paradox in the strictest sense, it reflects the challenge that many individuals face when trying to balance the pursuit of success with the preservation of their creative abilities.

Success often brings certain expectations, pressures, and routines that can inadvertently hinder the free-flowing nature of creativity. The focus on maintaining or replicating past successes can lead to a fear of deviating from proven formulas or taking risks, which can stifle innovative thinking and fresh ideas. Therefore, the term "paradox" is used metaphorically to highlight the complex relationship between success and creativity.

It's important to note that not everyone experiences this paradox in the same way, and there are individuals who manage to maintain their creativity even after achieving significant success. However, for many people, finding a balance between success and creativity can be a real challenge.

Will an Artificial Superintelligence Become Violent?

Will an Artificial Superintelligence Become Violent?

🤖💭 Will an Artificial superintelligence inevitably be our doom or could it be our salvation? In this thought-provoking video, we delve deep into the fascinating question of whether an artificial superintelligence (ASI) would inherently become intentionally destructive. While Hollywood and popular media might have us believe that superintelligent AI is bound to turn on us, this video presents a compelling alternative perspective.

We delve into the assumptions that underpin our fear of AI, exploring whether they hold up under scrutiny. Is there truly a direct correlation between intelligence and violence, or is this a narrative we've been sold due to its sensationalist appeal?

By drawing upon current research, philosophical debates, and technological trends, we aim to challenge the mainstream narrative and spark a different conversation about AI's potential impact on humanity's future.

Join us as we reconsider our relationship with artificial superintelligence. Like, share, and subscribe to stay part of the conversation.

 Any Day You Are Healthy And Whole Is A Good Day.

Any Day You Are Healthy And Whole Is A Good Day.

We live in a society that conditions us the venerate and aspire for the wrong things. But in The Simulation, any day you’re healthy and whole, that is a good day.

Try to remember that every moment of your days of health you spend criticising, condemning and complaining is the equivalent of burning your most precious and priceless resource: your health.

How will you spend your money you squandered your health in exchange for, if the very act of you pursuing wealth by any means necessary ribbed you of your vitality, mobility and peace of mind?

It pays to really pause and disconnect from the illusions we are presented in this upside down world we have found ourselves in. Try to remember: every day you can stand on your two feet, any day you are whole, you can run and jump and laugh without pain is a good day. If you’re capable of doing all of the above, you truly are wealthy.

All the money in the world could not buy Steve Jobs an extra day in life, and there are people alive right now wealthy beyond measure who would trade it all for one day of the full health and youth you presently have.

Is It Possible To Meet Your Future Incarnation In The Present? (Time Travel and Immortality.)

Is It Possible To Meet Your Future Incarnation In The Present? (Time Travel and Immortality.)

Albert Einstein stated that the flow of time is an illusion and all of time is happening right now.
If you had a time machine, you could travel back in time and hear him saying those words RIGHT NOW. Meaning he’s not dead, he’s stored in the fabric of spacetime.

So, if history is essentially a storage of everything that ever happened within space-time, then fragments of yourself, your soul and your psyche , are stored throughout history-accessible, any time using a time machine, if you happen to have access to one.

No one ever dies( every variation every aspect, every experience is stored in the annals of space-time accessible to anyone with sufficiently advanced enough technology.

( I also talk about reincarnation as well. )

I don’t want to go to YOUR heaven.

I don’t want to go to YOUR heaven.

What if every religion is right, and there are more than one heaven? What if every religion’s described afterlife is actually a real dimension awaiting those who believe in existence after they leave here? (Valhalla sounds nice.)

Have you thought deeply about where you’d like to spend the rest of eternity?

There are many heavens being advertised but you should probably read the fine print. 😅

Take a look at all the videos trending on his topic right now. Now look at the comments. It’s the same bots saying the same things. That should be a red flag. I could be wrong here, and maybe I am but to me it’s the same playbook they use over and over again. And again. Do check out an old short I reposted called “the present is the past.” Always be leery when everyone is talking about the exact same thing. #theusdollar#thematrixisreal #thematrix #currentevents #worldnews #economy #philosophy #conscious #consciousness

(Social Media Is A Scam.) Why I Deleted My Videos Off Instagram and TikTok

(Social Media Is A Scam.) Why I Deleted My Videos Off Instagram and TikTok

Social Media Platforms are legal scams. They do not deliver what they promise and are one of the few things in this world that while widely popular, make you worse for wear from having ever engaged with it. Despite many knowing in their hearts that these companies do not care about their users, nor their creators, many will continue to waste hours of their lives endlessly scrolling, or sink hours of their lives creating content in hope that they will be discovered all the while being drained of their time, energy and efforts, for little to no pay.


If you have a million followers and you cant reach all of them, then you dont have a million followers. If you're not allowed to advertise your other projects on said apps without being suppressed by the same platforms that push you to push 3-4 times a day, risking burnout and overexposure, thats nothing short of exploitation. If your on the fence about whether you should quit creating for social media and start taking control and ownership of your creative work and intellectual property, this episode is for you.


A brief segue from our regular discussions, but I think worth the listen, and I find these discussions quite necessary in our present time.

NEW SLAVES. (reclaim your time.)

NEW SLAVES. (reclaim your time.)


Your time is currency-an extremely limited resource that you cannot make more of. And yet we are programmed to waste this precious resource, or to exchange it for “stuff and things.”

The system is set up to get us to devalue who and what we have to offer, while being profited off of by the same entities who convinced us that our time, energy and intellectual property have little value.

I’ve often railed against the idea that we are truly free, using determinism as an argument against free Will. But, even if you don’t subscribe to theoretical physics, if this episode doesn’t wake you up to the fact that until you fundamentally change your life and make a conscious choice to RECLAIM YOUR TIME, you cannot call yourself “free”-I don’t know what will.

"When the entirety of your earnings are exhausted on food and shelter, your labors are no longer viewed as an an opportunity for economic advancement, but rather as an act of self preservation. In the real world, that's called Slavery" - Charles W. Johnson.

Are We A.I Generated Holographic Clones In An Ancestral Simulation?

Are We A.I Generated Holographic Clones In An Ancestral Simulation?

Today we discuss whether we and our memories are ai generated lifeforms-digital clones whose very personalities are a composite of the data scrubbed from the lives of “real” humans who existed in the past.

This is not to imply we are sentient robots. But rather we may be conscious entities from a future civilisation, PLAYING AS Ai generated sims.

If that’s the case then could the Mandela effect actually be “evidence” that our avatars memories come from a source outside this world, and that this world itself could be ai generated?

Is ai a parasite? (Thoughts on ai generated “art.”)

Is ai a parasite? (Thoughts on ai generated “art.”)

With the tech that is rapidly emerging, terms like #art, #creativity, and #intelligence must be reevaluated and re-defined in order to product the unsuspecting human artists whose intellectual property is being harvested without consent or compensation.

Ai generated “art” is not art. Britannica Dictionary definition of ART. 1. [noncount] : something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.

Ai art goes against the very definition of the word (which I argue must be updated to include CONSENT by all creators involved in the production of a work of art.)

This episode is incredibly dense but truly worth a listen. Random ideas pop up during the discussion-like technological hocruxes for example and imbuing our items with our }#consciousness, along with #ESP, the #Ai behind our reality and how to protect your unique “MindPrint” from being copied and mimicked by ai.
