Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kevin Shrellie. Always good to catch up with you. Kevin,
welcome in, thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
So your podcast is pretty cool. It's called Hello Future,
and it's iHeartRadio app. This is You're always looking Ahead
And I love this because it seems our future is
changing at the speed of light nowadays. And with the
next great power race taking place now, you know, miles
away and US and China and Europe, I mean we're competing,
(00:29):
you know, to turn the lunar dust into trillion dollar
energy and data economies here. So the space race is on,
that's for sure. So what are you seeing here? What
do you think is going on? And where are we
you know, I.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Love thank you for that, for that kind of introduction.
And I remember when I was a kid and I
would be in history class and they would teach us
about you know, if you have the high ground, a
country that has the high ground is better for their
national security. Well, in many ways, lunar and the moon
is the ultimate high ground, but not necessarily in the
way that you're thinking of. On the Moon, there are
(01:04):
obviously a ton of craters. Just look up at the
sky tonight and look at the Moon. There's a ton
of craters and mountains, and yes, there is frozen water
there underneath the surface. Water is vital for energy, especially
when you're trying to build on the Moon. There's also
a ton of minerals. There's titanium, there's helium three. These
(01:25):
are these rare earth minerals that exist on the Moon
and yes, also elsewhere in the Solar System. And so
it's not just about getting back to the Moon and
putting an American flag. It's actually building infrastructure for mining
on the Moon that can really create jobs here on
planet Earth and also help protect our planet so that
(01:45):
we're mining elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, I got to tell you, I think it's really
important for the United States to stay ahead of this game.
And I know a lot of people will go, you know,
that's a lot of money that we could be using
in other areas. And certainly there's a lot of other
areas you'd like to line up and take care of
back here on planet Earth. But if we lose the
space race, I think we get behind in a lot
of other areas that do affect us as a country
(02:08):
on planet Earth.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So well, an astronaut put it to me this way.
I totally understand that, but I believe an astronaut put
it to me this way. The country that as the
best sets lunar the supply chains between here and the
Moon and ultimately here in Mars and the space station
gas stations for lack of a better analogy, and rest
(02:30):
stop on the way to those types of places that
will benefit their economy. So you want American space companies
and American supply chain companies dictating the solar system because
that will generate an enormous amount of money for the
country that leads the way. Consider this, By twenty thirty,
(02:50):
the space industry will be worth one trillion dollars. That's
bigger than the gaming industry. Secondly, these are manufacturing jobs.
I mean it takes humans, not just robots to build spaceships,
to build telescope either space collar jobs. That are blue
collar jobs, and I think they should be American job
one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
All right, Speaking of robots, the human mind takes the controls.
How brain implants and AI could redefine independence and ethics
and what it means to be human. Here Neuralingk's thought
controlled robot arm What is going on here, where's the
future in it?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah? I love this. I remember when you know, remember
in the early nineties, and also you know in the
two thousands, you'd walk down the street and plastic surgery
was just taking off, and you'd say, did that person
have a those job? I look forward to the day
when you talk to someone and you think, did that
person have a brain job? Do they get a brain ship?
Because they're talking a lot smarter. But the reality is
(03:45):
that a lot of people get nervous when I start
talking about brain ships. But it's actually not that futuristic.
Because if for someone who has lost a limb from
a conflict, or someone who is paralyzed to be able
to have a brain ship implants it into their brain
to reconnect the wires for lack of a better analogy,
and to start the circuit again, that is amazing. You know,
(04:08):
my dad just had stints placed in his heart. That's
a very common procedure nowadays. It wasn't always common my
dad also, I mean, I'm talking a lot about my
dad's medical history right now, but you know, knee of
replacements or hip replacements, that's all very common. Why don't
we treat our brain that way? In terms of preventative
care for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. We're just at the
cusp of the tackling that. But from the sense of
(04:31):
an individual getting a prosthetic and being able to move
it or to communicate it with the brain ship that's
already here. The tests are being done now, and I
think that's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, I got to tell you, medically, you may be
on point there, but biblically, when you start talking about
chips and mark of the beast and all this kind
of thing, where do you stand on are we getting
into the gray area here? I mean, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So listen. Those are the types of questions that we
explore on the podcast. And I think that's a totally,
totally fair question. I am a Christian, the man of faith.
You know, it's very personal to me. But that said,
I mean, you know, I would say that we just
have to educate ourselves and we have to keep those
conversations front and center, you know. But I think if
an individual has the ability to walk again, I think
(05:15):
that the scientists and the technologists who are developing and
the doctors who are working together to develop their technology,
I think that's an amazing thing, you know, but hardly
do I do. I think we should merge, you know,
and have like terminator. You know, I'm not an advocate
of that at all, right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And I don't necessarily want to chip in my wrist
so I get through TSA quicker than pulling my driver's
license out.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, that's a great question, and there are a dozen
there's at least a dozen US states at the state
level who have passed laws precisely for that. And I
think Washington should wake up to that question. Because I
have a dog. I don't yeah, yeah, to say no
because they are European countries who want to ship humans.
And you know you said TSA, but you could badge
(05:58):
into work. I mean, think of it from that perspective.
That gets shady real fast. But the dogs are chips
for anyone who has a pet, people micro chip their dogs.
I do not chip my dog because I'm like, if
they're doing it on my dog, are they going to
do it to humans? Right? I don't think you should
be able to track a living being and ship them.
That makes me very very.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Good, And I don't want some retail guy going, you're
gonna be playing Apple pay to d eight, no risk,
pay watch this, no see it. I'm out with that.
Forget it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I love your podcast. Hello Future, there's the guy and
Kevin Cirelli. Thanks Kevin, thank you, thank you. Seven fifty
one Now Alabama's morning News. Scary John. I don't know
what you're thinking over there, but I get it medically.
You know, if you can fix Alzheimer's and dementia with
the brain chips and things like that, is is that
different in your mind than chip?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Says yes, absolutely, it's completely different. Okay, when you talk
about chip, you're talking about revelation. When you have a
mark where you could buy or sell anything, and that's
a mark anyway, It's not a chip in your brain.
I mean a pacemaker is a chip. I mean it's
just something implanted to help you.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Okay, mh, I breathe a little easier.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
This isn't this isn't in times yet.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well on this one
