Yeah, but it takes time to try to sell something online. And brain effort. That's why we find so many things at goodwill. And people in the earlier steps were probably more amused with the project than the actual products. (That's why a fish pen was traded for a doorknob of a face, and the doorknob was eventually used for a kettle handle. Quirky people interested in the quirky project.) I think it wasn't until he got to the military guy looking for the burner grill set that people were actually excited for the products.

12:12 "Yes, let's build something, let's do something together, let's collaborate, let's see what happens". Great mindset! I think it happens more easily in some countries/cultures than in others.

Things to quit right now: 1. Overthinking 2. Worrying 3. Trying to make everyone happy 4. Living in the past 5. Doubting yourself

The hardest trade had to be the first. Who the hell wants a paperclip?

This is insane This is truly fucking amazing Like This guy got himself a house But holy shit he left a trail of happy people and improved lives in his wake This might be my favorite TED talk I've ever seen They're usually like "this is how I improved my life," "this is how I started my career," "here's how I helped out a friend," this guy though, he blazed a trail of happiness across a country.

I don't know, if I traded for that red paperclip with my fish pen, I'd be pretty annoyed I just gave away a potential house.

There were two dutch guys who did something similair, at some point they had a massive amouth of money, and decided to put everything on red in a casino. They lost. They didnt want to put half of it or whatever, because it was about the adventure, but yea, that moment they realised it was over was pretty harsh.

One time my friends and I tried this, we started with a pencil and went door to door asking if people wanted to trade. Within a matter of hours we had a fully functional TV and a wii, we tried this again and within 2 hours went from a pencil to a fish tank, a washer machine, and a TV. It made me realize that sometimes to get what you want, all you have to do is ask.

Wow. I have a bunch of paper clips rn and have nothing to do with them. thanks for motivation!

I took a course in personal realization called Millennium3 and was tasked with turning a kitchen match into something of greater value without telling anyone it was part of the course I was taking. Three hours and a dozen trades later I had a cable-ready color TV. I shocked myself. Now I know that anything is possible.
