So You’re Living In A Simulation

Before the calendar was rewritten, the spring equinox was the actual new year. And this new year, we start by getting the word right.We've been using the wrong word. And it's keeping us stuck.Narcissist implies someone who loves themselves too much. But the people destroying relationships, families, and communities aren't capable of love at all. They're predators. And the rest of us, the ones who grew up in chaotic households, who learned to read every room, who give too much and forgive too fast, have been trained without knowing it to move through life like prey.This episode is about changing that. Joli breaks down predator psychology, why empathy is often just trauma-coded hypervigilance, how to integrate your shadow self without losing your values, and why our society stopped holding anti-social people accountable and what that's costing all of us.Unfiltered. No gurus. Just a woman with a mic who's done being prey.So You're Living In a Simulation with Joli.#narcissist #springequinox2026 #mentalhealth

You’ve been told your whole life that being a good person is the goal. But what if that label is the very thing making you a target?In this episode I’m breaking down why defining yourself as “good” can open you up to exploitation, how narcissists and predators specifically target people who pride themselves on kindness, and why doing the “right” thing is almost never the same as doing the “good” thing.What we get into: ∙ (00:00) Whoever defines “good” defines you, and that’s the trap ∙ (03:13) How narcissists use victim stories and love bombing to get inside your category of “good person” ∙ (07:20) When “being good” means internalizing other people’s abuse as your own fault ∙ (18:43) Why morality makes intelligent people ignore their own instincts ∙ (33:38) Words as spells: how repetition creates belief without truth ∙ (42:07) Gods in your pocket, subjugated goddesses, and the inversion of powerThis isn’t about becoming cold or cruel. It’s about becoming conscious.If you’ve ever stayed too long, given too much, or silenced yourself because that’s what good people do, this one’s for you.••So You’re Living in a Simulation is independent and listener supported.

In this episode, @Joli.artist confronts the revelations emerging from the Epstein files and calls on listeners to reclaim their power in a world run by forces that depend on our collective silence and inaction.Joli dismantles the narrative that "nothing is going to happen," exposing it as deliberate psychological programming designed to keep people disempowered. She draws on evolutionary biology, the nature of cancer cells, and even goat farming to illustrate why antisocial elements must be removed from any functioning system, and why good people are not the exception but the biological norm.From the Milgram experiments to the French Revolution, Joli traces humanity's long history of exile as a survival mechanism, arguing that what we're witnessing today is no different. She challenges listeners to stop treating passivity as goodness, reject the "turn the other cheek" conditioning, and start putting points on the scoreboard for good, beginning with defending themselves.The episode builds toward a profound exploration of how perception shapes reality, drawing on the placebo and nocebo effects, Robert Anton Wilson's work, and the podcast's core thesis that we are living in a simulation that responds to what we hold in our minds.••Earth Is Presently Sick. We Must Become the Immune System. https://medium.com/@joli.artist/earth-is-presently-sick-we-must-become-the-immune-system-5bde9e0d4ad3 ••Key Insights from this Episode:• The Scoreboard of Good vs Evil: Joli reframes daily life as a simulation where every act of courage or cowardice tips the scales, and doing nothing when you witness harm is a point scored for evil.• Be Good With Teeth: Drawing from her own experience, Joli argues that kindness without boundaries enables abuse to spread, and that true goodness requires the willingness to fight back.• Cancer Cell Theory of Evil: Pedophiles, predators, and narcissists are not just bad people; they are cancerous cells in the human organism that must be identified and removed for the body to survive.• The Mind as Weapon and Shield: From placebo effects to collective meditation reducing crime rates, Joli makes the case that your mind is the most powerful tool you have, and that it is actively being weaponized against you.• Bloom in Hell: In a world designed to exhaust and demoralize, your existence and your actions matter right now, not in a thousand years. Be beautiful in spite of the dystopia, because that beauty is what inspires others to wake up.

In this compelling talk, @Joli.artist explores why modern life often feels like a constant state of siege and how we can consciously reverse the decay of our mental and physical health. Drawing from recent experiences with a digital detox, stoic philosophy, and ancestral history, Joli challenges the traditional "pursuit of happiness," arguing instead for the strategic eradication of the things that cause us pain.  From the biological impact of "heart spikes" and cortisol to the inherited generational trauma of survivors, Joli examines how our environments and relationships physically reshape our brains and bodies. She introduces a powerful perspective on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, suggesting that human conscious awareness is the only force capable of reversing "emotional entropy" and building order out of chaos.  •••Key Insights from this Talk:• The Biology of Attention: Joli discusses how constant attention-shifting on social media prevents the brain from forming the "deep, juicy grooves" required for memory and recall.  • The "One Strike" Pattern: She introduces a heuristic for identifying toxic dynamics early: if a disturbing behavior happens once, it is a pattern, and you are not obligated to wait years for it to worsen.  • Energetic Autonomy: Joli explores why being alone is often a healthier biological state than being in a "wrong" relationship that keeps the nervous system in a constant state of fight or flight.  • Mining Happiness: The talk describes the art of finding tangible, present moment joy like the color of hibiscus tea by becoming the organizing force in your own life.  • As Joli reminds us, nothing is life or death unless it is actually life or death. It is time to stop paying for problems with your time and health, and start prioritizing your peace.

Artists have been sold a lie: that you can’t create real work unless you’re broken.Pain sells. Trauma gets streams. Heartbreak goes viral. So the industry rewards artists who only create when they’re suffering, and punishes those who make art from healing, joy, or stability.But here’s what nobody talks about: when artists only document pain without pairing it with resolution, they’re not just expressing themselves. They’re programming audiences to expect relationships to fail, success to be traumatic, and healing to be impossible.Art isn’t neutral. It shapes how people see the world. And right now, most of what we’re creating is making the world uglier, not more bearable.This episode is a call to artists: You have more power than you realize. Your work reflect reality and also constructs it. So what are you building?Topics covered:• Why the music industry conditions artists to create only from pain• How gangster rap was weaponized against Black communities• The difference between processing pain and weaponizing it• Why creating beauty is rebellion, not escapism• How to turn lived experience into masterpieces, not just contentThis isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending pain doesn’t exist. It’s about refusing to let pain be the only thing worth creating from.Leave this world more beautiful than you found it.Full episode: So You’re Living in a Simulation podcast.https://joliartist.com/portal
