Sean and Jess discuss the possibility that we are. living in a simulation. Plus, they call in to Big Jeb for a "Down On The Farm Report." They also give a shout-out to their listeners in Japan.Additionally, they play their renditions of Sarah McLaughlin's "Building A Mystery" and David Bowie's "Heroes."

For two decades now, the US government his spent far more money than it collects in taxes, and the pandemic has only accelerated the process. Before Covid-19, the government borrowed one of every four dollars it spent. In 2020 and 2021, the deficit is one of every two dollars. The shortfall has been made up by government borrowing and ultimately the printing of new money. A mystery among investors and economists is why all this money creation hasn't resulted in staggering consumer inflation. Glenn Campbell thinks he has the answer: The extra money has been drawn into asset markets, where it will ultimately be destroyed. Starting with the recent $1.9 trillion Covid Relief Bill, Glenn describes the mechanisms behind his "Zero-Inflation Theory", where markets collapse but the U.S. dollar holds its value. Glenn also discusses the role of index funds and passive investing in accelerating a coming stock market collapse. — Twitter: @DemographicDoom — See the video version of this episode for notes, comments, corrections & links to other resources: j.mp/dd_zeroinflation [ep 56, 31 Mar 2021]

The Big Bang Theory of the origin of the universe is pretty much set in stone - or so you would think. Turns out there are several problems with the Big Bang model, some of which are answered with Inflation Theory; the idea that in the first trillionth of a second the universe expanded from a singularity to something the size of a basketball, then slowed its expansion. But there is another idea, one based on string theory and gives the possibility for the universe to renew itself over and over again in cycles. It's called the Ekpyrotic Universe Theory. And it's weird. Real weird.

Some recent detection of polarized light in the cosmic background radiation has been strong evidence for a particular theory about the origin of the universe called “cosmic inflation theory.” That’s pretty badass.

The study of the origin, evolution and make-up of the universe has made dramatic and surprising advances over the last decades John E. Carlstrom, Professor at the University of Chicago and the deputy director of the UCSB Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, describes new measurements being carried out with the 10-m South Pole Telescope to test the inflation theory of the origin of the Universe and to investigate the nature of dark energy.
