PODCAST DIVES INTO SIMULATION THEORY: IS LIFE ONE BIG VIDEOGAME?

Published

Elon Musk Says the Odds are Billions to One in Favor of Theory

NEW YORK, New York, United States, 8th Jan 2025, – The podcast “What’s Bugging Me” takes a deep dive this week into the simulation theory—the bizarre yet somewhat plausible notion that we are living inside a computer simulation run by someone else, somewhere else.

Podcast host Dennis Kneale tells his listeners that Elon Musk is a true believer in the simulation scenario. “Elon’s belief in the Matrix enables and empowers all else that follows,” Kneale says in Episode #108 of “What’s Bugging Me.”  This lets Musk take huge risks and live larger because—what the heck—this all may be just a game, Kneale explains.

This simulation argument forms Lesson One in Kneale’s new book, “The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk,” out in just three weeks. Lesson One states: “This all may be fake, so just go for it.” Published by HarperCollins, the book offers Eleven Lessons of Elon and is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books A Million.  The official publish date is January 28, 2025.

Musk made one of his first public pronouncements on the simulation idea in an onstage interview in 2016, which is available here: www.youtube.com. He pointed out that video games started in 1970 with Pong—two moving bars of light and a small square, ping-ponging back and forth against a static black background—and advanced to super-realistic 3D simulations on-screen in just 50 years.

So, in 10,000 years’ time a simulation would be doable—and the universe is almost 14 billion years old. Thus, 1.4 million separate spans of 10,000 years already have unfolded, and this makes a simulation more likely. And if one simulation could exist, there could be millions or even billions of simulations ongoing, Elon has argued.

For the pod, Kneale interviews physicist Melvyn Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in the U.K., who discusses the technological and scientific underpinnings for the simulation hypothesis. Vopson has won notoriety for creating the Second Law of Information Dynamics, which argues that while entropy—complexity and decay—in the universe is always increasing, information entropy is always on the decrease. He discovered everything from our DNA to the Covid virus to bacteria to symmetry in nature and even manmade disc drives.

This may lend support to the simulation theory, Vopson says: if our reality were a simulation, it would require massive computing power, and reducing information stored and processed would be a key part of this.

“I’m very excited about this. And this is a pure piece of solid physics work which generated an unusual conclusion,” Vopson says on the podcast. “This is just a possible scenario that this new piece of physics indicates. I’m not by any means saying that I found the proof that we live in a simulation. I’m just saying I found what I call a fingerprint if that makes sense.”

For the rest of us, Kneale says the simulation idea could change how we choose to view life’s events and setbacks. As he tells listeners:

“If we came to think there’s a good possibility that all of this might be an illusion, like in the ‘Matrix’ films, how might it change how we look at life and react to the things that happen to us? My hope is this simulation possibility could make us want to live larger, love harder, tell people how we feel, and stop holding back from reaching out for a richer life. This belief in the simulation also could protect us from hardship because what the heck, this all may just be a game anyway. It’s all part of the plan.”

Cables Perpetual Futures DEX: Moving Past USD-Dominated Trading

Published

on

Most onchain trading platforms are stuck in a cycle of USD dependence. Whether it’s centralized exchanges or other perpetuals DEXs, their market structures are built around USD-backed stablecoins like USDT and USDC, forcing traders into unnecessary conversions and liquidity fragmentation. Cables Finance is breaking this mold by introducing non-USD perpetuals and yield-bearing RWAs, creating a unified system where liquidity moves freely, capital stays productive, and global markets are fully integrated. Cables Finance is setting a new standard for onchain trading.

Breaking the USD Dependence in Onchain Trading

Crypto markets have long mirrored traditional finance’s reliance on USD, limiting true financial accessibility. Even in DeFi, liquidity is overwhelmingly tied to USD, sidelining traders looking for direct exposure to non-USD assets. This creates inefficiencies that slow down capital movement, force traders into redundant swaps, and lock real-world markets out of DeFi’s potential.

Cables introduces non-USD perpetuals, allowing traders to hedge, speculate, and move liquidity without getting stuck in USD conversion loops. Assets like cEUR, cJPY, and cXAU aren’t just representations of offchain value—they are yield-generating instruments and active trading collateral. This shift moves DeFi from a USD-centric framework to one that actually reflects global markets. The integration of non-USD liquidity is a core element of Cables’ vision, and their fundamentals explain why this shift is necessary.

Liquidity Should Never Sit Idle

Most trading platforms treat liquidity as a static resource, separating yield generation from active trading. Traders must choose between staking assets to earn returns or deploying them as collateral. This outdated separation fragments capital and slows down the trading experience. Cables eliminates this inefficiency, allowing assets to remain productive at all times.

Holding cEUR, cJPY, or cXAU isn’t just about having exposure to those assets—it’s about earning while you trade. Through Cables’ Liquidity Flywheel, staked RWAs generate yield while functioning as collateral, eliminating the need to unstake assets or shuffle liquidity between protocols. This makes it possible to hedge FX exposure, access decentralized gold markets with cXAU, or trade real-world assets without reliance on centralized FX intermediaries. More importantly, Cables’ approach to liquid staking explains why this innovation is so important.

The Problem with USD-Denominated Perpetuals

Traditional DeFi platforms—whether centralized or decentralized—force traders into a USD-first model that doesn’t reflect the actual needs of global markets. Even protocols that claim to offer broad asset support still default to USD-denominated pairs, making it difficult for FX traders to hedge non-USD currencies without costly workarounds. Commodity traders face similar barriers when looking to access gold and other real-world stores of value. And for DeFi users in non-USD economies, conversion fees and inefficiencies make interacting with stable assets far more expensive than it should be.

Cables breaks this cycle by allowing direct trading in non-USD markets, setting a new precedent for how onchain perpetuals should work. Instead of forcing traders into a narrow system, Cables enables real diversification, offering exposure to a global financial network rather than just a USD-based liquidity pool.

A System That Trades While You Earn

DeFi trading shouldn’t force a choice between staking for yield and deploying capital into the market. Cables rethinks this entirely by merging the two functions into a single, capital-efficient system. A trader holding cEUR isn’t waiting for an opportunity to deploy assets—they are earning yield while maintaining full collateral flexibility. This allows for leveraged trading, hedging, and portfolio management without the need to unstake assets or transfer liquidity between different protocols. The process removes costly inefficiencies and allows for a more dynamic, efficient trading experience.

The Trading Desk DeFi Actually Needs

Cables is not just another perpetuals platform—it is redefining what an onchain financial system should be. By combining yield-generating RWAs with a multi-asset perpetuals DEX, it eliminates inefficiencies that have long held DeFi back. Traders aren’t just swapping between digital assets; they are gaining access to real-world markets with real liquidity.

Most DeFi platforms are still constrained by a USD-centric model, making incremental improvements without addressing the core issue of accessibility. Cables moves past these limitations by building a capital-efficient trading system that aligns with how modern financial markets actually work. The integration of non-USD perpetuals is more than an added feature—it is a fundamental shift in how liquidity moves, how assets are used, and how traders engage with global finance.

For those looking to be part of the next evolution in onchain trading, Cables offers a vision that moves past outdated systems and opens new possibilities for global market access.
