In this episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation," Joli discusses the recent election and its implications for America. She offers a unique perspective on the election results, addressing everything from voter turnout to the Democratic Party's shortcomings.

Joli explores how the two-party system has evolved into what she sees as essentially a one-party system, with Republicans controlling multiple branches of government. Rather than approaching this from a place of fear, she encourages viewers to focus on personal growth and active engagement in their own lives.

Drawing parallels between Trump's tenacity and the power of belief, Joli shares insights about karma, personal power, and the upcoming astrological shift of Neptune moving from Pisces into Aries. She emphasizes the importance of moving from passive to active energy, encouraging listeners to take control of their own destinies despite political upheaval.

On this episode of "So You’re Living in a Simulation," Joli delves into the concept of luck, emphasizing that it’s not merely random chance but something that can be actively influenced.

She draws on the analogy of fishing to explain how people can "catch" luck, comparing it to hunting or preparing for low-probability events that lead to success. Luck isn’t just about being in the right place at the right time; it’s about positioning yourself in the right places often enough that when a lucky break happens, you’re ready to seize it.

Joli encourages listeners to think of their work—whether it's art, a product, or a service—as seeds. The more seeds you plant, the more opportunities you create for them to grow into success. She stresses the importance of diversifying efforts, networking, and consistently putting yourself out there to increase your visibility.

By being proactive, prepared, and strategic, you can turn low-probability events into opportunities that feel like luck.

The episode also touches on how randomness follows patterns we may not always perceive, connecting this to the simulation theory.

Joli reminds her audience to take care of their health and well-being, as physical and mental stamina are essential when opportunities arise.
