Money = Life Energy Exchange. (What Are You Spending Your Life On?)

So You’re Living In A Simulation

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
