My father was an amateur historian and told me a little about Timothy Dexter when I was young. He called him "An idiot Savant who could sell snow to an Eskimo." I had mostly forgotten about him until watching this video. This helped me to understand what my father meant. Thank you for creating it.

I've done a similar things many times, when responding to such incredibly unpunctuated comments that it's almost impossible to understand the commenter's meaning, without some kind of modern Rosetta Stone, aka punctuation: for example... Me: 'Here mate, have some of these (,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ................ '''''''''''''''''''''). Let me know if you need any more, I've got loads of them'. I thought I was being witty, but now I learn that the 'idiot' Baxter had not just preceded me by hundreds of years, but also far exceeded me. 😕

Your opening remarks on this were some of the best internet content I have ever heard. I had never heard anything about this guy and went on Goodreads to look for reader reviews of the book. I was not disappointed there, either. As a writer myself who often gets to review books both good and bad, this review stood out as perfect to steal and modify: "I would recommend this book to my worst enemy and literally nobody else." Thought you and your followers might appreciate that.

Cause he got stupid lucky more than a few times. Is it all dum luck or at some point he actually did make a deliberate decision that was business smart?

I believe Timothy Dexter was a very unpopular man. And tho he camed from a very uneducated origins I have the sensation his story has been exaggerated by his detractors. This is just a conjecture and I would love if everything happened as it was narrated and his whole fortune came from a very fortunate string of unlikely luck strikes. But I do know humans tend to ridicule their enemies when they get to tell their stories so I welcome the story with a bit of skepticism. Definitely would watch a movie about it.

@@aramisscabott6747 I made a 10 minute research into the topic and concluded that apart from the whale bones all other transactions mentioned here and on wikipedia easily could be well calculated business decisions. I was unsure about the coal first but then looked up the strike lasted for a year so plenty of time to get the news and hear about the higher prices to send a shipment. It seems he had some interest in the west indies so he must have some information on trade ships heading towards china to assume an interest on mittens etc. The cats are an easy one and the bed warmers also could be based on preliminary information where he spotted the opportunity. So I agree with your comment completely. Still I find it fascinating regardless of it was luck or talent. I myself couldn't sell a gold bar for profit even if I got it for free. :)

The script is one thing - doing research, putting it nicely together (a little joke here and there, a bit of sarcasm, etc. ... - which is not to say, that the script is bad, quite the opposite, in my videos I am trying a similar style - a 'casual talk' and I really like this kind of script style - it feels engaging and is just fun listen to) But the amount of time for the editing (and uploading so regularly) is amazing! Edit: Just in case - even though I am faceless channel - the Voice I am using is my own (AI is only for Mythology and stand alone Biographies used the rest is not AI)

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Evelyn Infurna. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

Timothy Dexter is history's most prevalent example of intelligence not being a merit of success. We were told since childhood that success comes only to those who work hard or are smart. No, it comes to those who are lucky enough to get a chance at success and are daring enough to grab it. Or... in Dexter's case, stumble into it. Truly the IRL Luck 10 INT 1 build
