The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

And I think they're right.

The one piece they're forgetting on that, in my opinion though, is like, that's not the only thing that goes into a big data center.

The other thing that goes into a big data center are computer chips, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

That mostly Nvidia's making that go build there.

What metals do you use to make computer chips?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

One of the biggest metals consumers in making ASICs is the platinum group metals.

So I think in the future, and look,

The Shawn Ryan Show

We can go on this long road about capitalism.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

Capitalism requires you to have a pretty high growth rate as a country.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We have to keep growing, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We have to grow 2% to 3% a year to maintain capitalism.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

If we become flat, like, this system does not work.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

And that's really how we've driven it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

That means we're going to have to have exponential growth as we go into the next century.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

And it's going to get huge.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We're going to have all of these things.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Energy is going to have to grow exponentially.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

So are materials.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

And the one I'm going after on the material front, just like these guys are going after on the power front, is the platinum group metals.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We use it in computer chips.
