The ALL is a.i. (Breakdown.)

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. ••• Youroneblackfriend.com

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. Youroneblackfriend.com 1.

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. 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 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.
