  • Part one: Are We AI’s Ancestors? Prison Planet Theory, Eternal Return & Parallel Worlds-Deep-Dive w/Staysch
    Jul 5 2025

    A philosophical deep-dive into reincarnation, dimensional theory, and the possibility that we're all serving time in a cosmic prison. Joli (@Joli.artist) and @Staysch explore whether Earth is actually a 3D penitentiary for higher-dimensional beings.


    From unexplained Victorian art obsessions to unconscious reality manipulation, Joli shares personal evidence of consciousness bleeding between lifetimes and dimensions. The conversation explores the theory that our reality might exist as a dystopian counterbalance to a 4D utopia, where advanced beings could periodically descend to "serve time" as humans.


    Key themes include:

    • Nietzsche's eternal return and why memory gets wiped between lives

    • Personal evidence of past-life bleeding through art and preferences

    • The prison planet hypothesis vs. collective coping mechanism theory

    • Why we might switch roles between incarnations (general to woman, etc.)

    • Unconscious reality manipulation and multidimensional abilities

    • Human evolution, anxiety, and our predator nature trapped in modern life

    This mind-bending exploration challenges assumptions about free will, consciousness, and what it means to be human.

  • LOVE & WAR IN 4D: Intimacy, Trauma, and the Code Men Carry (ft. Joli.Artist)
    Jun 16 2025

    Many of the most loyal, dedicated men often find themselves confused when their relationships struggle despite genuinely wanting them to succeed.


    In this eye-opening episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation," Joli (@joli.artist) shares a fascinating pattern she discovered while reading veteran memoirs that reveals something profound about how we're all programmed to approach love.


    Men are taught to see women as "base camp" - the safe retreat you return to for rest and healing. But what if she's supposed to be your "battle buddy" instead - an equal partner fighting life's battles right alongside you?


    "Life is a battlefield for all of us. But while men are trained to see it that way, women are thrown into it without the training

    - yet we're still here, taking hits right alongside you."


    The episode invites listeners to consider questions such as:


    • How the same loyalty skills that work in the military can transform romantic relationships

    • Why emotional intelligence isn't weakness - it's advanced tactical thinking

    • The hidden programming that makes successful men fail at love

    • Real solutions using military-style operational frameworks

    Joli reads from her powerful article "Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp," breaking down exactly why partners leave after years of feeling like background characters in their man's survival story. But this isn't just criticism - it's a blueprint for change.

    "You know how to assess risk, scan for threats, and triage under fire. So let's run the same framework in your relationship."


    The breakthrough insight: Men already possess all the skills needed for deep intimacy - they just haven't been taught to deploy them domestically. Using combat metaphors throughout, Joli shows how emotional support is actually advanced tactical operations, and why treating your partner's pain as "real intel" changes everything.


    For veterans and civilians alike, this episode offers a path from emotional isolation to true partnership, because if you can handle a battlefield, you can definitely handle a relationship. You just need the right operational manual.

  • Planet of Females | Dominance, Submission, and the Illusion of Masculinity (ft. Joli.Artist)
    May 21 2025

    What if everything we think about gender is wrong? In this episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation" , @joli.artist makes the case that "male" doesn't actually exist—it's just a performance we've all agreed to believe in.


    Starting with biology (we all begin as female fetuses), Joli walks us through how society trains people with certain body parts to suppress emotions and avoid anything coded as "feminine." The result? A male loneliness epidemic where men can only express feelings through alcohol or sports. "You live that for 70 years and you wonder why the suicide rates in this country are sky-high."


    Key themes include:

    - How testosterone creates physical differences, but culture creates "masculinity"

    - The male loneliness epidemic and its connection to emotional suppression

    - Bill Burr's observations on men not even being allowed to find puppies cute

    - Why dominance and submission underlie what we perceive as gender

    - How women make themselves "smaller" to attract partners seeking to dominate

    Joli references Bill Burr's standup comedy about men not even being allowed to find puppies cute without being questioned—"That's a weird existence."

    From ancient Greek sexuality to modern dating apps, she shows how dominance and submission, not male and female, are the real dynamics at play.

    "Control isn't love. Dominance isn't love. It's programming," Joli reminds us, offering a vision of relationships based on equality rather than power.

    Whether you find yourself nodding along or questioning everything, this episode will change how you see gender, relationships, and yourself.
