So You’re Living In A Simulation

What Is Feeding On Your Desires? (ft. Joli.Artist) | In a Simulation, Even Your Desires Are Controlled.


Listen Later

This episode is a philosophical deep dive into the nature of desire, free will, and the unseen forces shaping our reality. Through introspection and personal anecdotes, Joli (@Joli.artist) explores the idea that our wants are not truly our own. They arise from external programming, life experiences, and perhaps even entities beyond our perception.

She challenges the common belief in free will, suggesting that desire and outcome are intrinsically linked, like two poles of a magnet, making resistance futile. Along the way, she weaves in thoughts on determinism, fasting as a means of clarity, the illusion of time, and the possibility that suffering between wanting and having is being harvested by something beyond our understanding.
The episode invites listeners to consider questions such as:

• Are we truly in control of our desires, or are they imposed upon us?

• What if the very act of resisting a desire amplifies it?

• Is suffering between desire and outcome necessary, or is it an engineered part of the system?

• If all of time is happening now, do we already have what we think we lack?

Blending existential philosophy, simulation theory, and personal reflection, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at reality itself that may leave listeners questioning not just what they want but why they want it in the first place.
