    I’m Garry Tan, venture capitalist and cofounder at Initialized Capital. We were earliest investors in billion dollar startups like Coinbase and Instacart. I’m doing my own run-and-gun one man TH-cam channel with no staff or crew - we're going for raw and unfiltered, not perfect. Just the stuff I think is interesting or valuable for mainly founders and future founders.

    Bend! Bend! Bend!
    So simple, yet so powerful.
    Thank you, Garry, because of you, Wednesday is my new favorite day of the week.
    Along with Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tue.
    Because on those days, I get to bend spoons to create my own reality.

    I went to high school with the spoon kid from the matrix in Sydney. We used to call him spooney. He's in musical theatre now. An actor in his own right. What a legend. Great channel Garry. Thanks kindly for all the insights.

    In my early 20s, I used telekinesis to spin a paper on a needle by focusing on the shadow of the object. I moved it to any direction with my thoughts through an intense focus on the shadow of the object. Nope air had no influence. I sit 1+ meter away from the object and play with the shadow on the wall. In turns, the object moves. It's hard for people to believe it. Just sharing my experience... There was no window in the room either and if I blow so hard with my mouth, the object doesn't move cause I was that far away.

      Fascinating! I've seen videos of this same thing. Perhaps in your mind you thought it to be easier using the shadow rather than the object itself.

    • @FahmiEshaq
      @FahmiEshaq 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Becky-ol4tm I tried both. Focused on the object and focused on the shadow. Both had the same effect.

    Isn't this called the *Placebo effect* ? => Reminds me of my youngster bodybuilding days: I used to take Creatine but thought I was somehow taking Steroids, and this is actually how I felt when working out. 😃

    • @qc7767
      @qc7767 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think possibly the ACTUAL affect is that, steroids, Creatine, Snickers bars ...whatever you consumed...would have little impact on your muscles without you working out.
      The creatine helped, but the real work, what got you big, was done by your hands, legs, body lifting the weights.

    The real lessom is to have an open mind and to come in touch with the energy around you.
    Yes, there is no such thing as magic. However, we are surrounded by energy and that energy can be asorbed and used in interesting ways.
    People like you try to find a "logical" explanation for any sort of phenomena. Such as, a lamp falls for no reason, "Oh, it must be a draft or some sort of vibration from walking..." when in reality it was something else.
    Speaking of reality, people need to wake up and realize that what they think is reality is nothing more than them blinding themselves with illusions of a world where they can more easily understand.
    Well, I am a believer that ignorance is not bliss and if everyone was like you then they would not have discovered that space and time is, in fact, are real and are part of one another called the space-time continuum.
    If you ever have doubts that there are unexplainable things that happen, ypu should probably do more research and use that brain of yours. If a black hole can defy the space-time coninuum, then a ghost can knock over a lantern. After all, we live in a universe that we barely even know a damn thing about.

    Not True but for those who do believe it 🤷. You don't always have to use physical force and life within itself is magical; regardless of how you want to perceive it; there was a beginning that is beyond most people's logic of acceptance.

    Ha! Wrong! I just moved pens without touching them. From sitting still on the table I could cause them to roll. One even inched forward. Of course I screamed as it was freaky as heck!

    "The devil is in the detail" @Garry don't you think? Abstractions such as "Lucky", "Action", "Idea" cannot alone explain Life and its manifestation. Your Zipcode can play a role?
    P.S This is more of a thought provoking comment, hopefully to spur discussions not discourage or devalue your vlogs. Which I personally enjoy 😉

      You’re absolutely right - everyone has a birth lottery. It’s hard to encompass reality even in a 6 minute video! It might take a lifetime to actually understand, and that’s the quandary.

    Idk if I'm fucking trpping, but I actually think I bent a spoon with my mind. I believe in a lot of stuff and wanted to test the matrix spoon trick. I held my hand completely still, but not too too firm, but firm enough and conscious enough not to bend my rist or figers or anything. I then just played in my head exactly as he sid, then I noticed a slight shift happen, and I could see behind the spoon, then I got surprised and blinked and it went back. I tripped balls! Not even kidding bro it was kinda nerve racking, but I didn't react I just felt more aware of how perseption works.
    Edi: Apologise! I meant to meantion I pretended as if there wasn't a spoon, along with bending it.
