Unironically this man is my hero. - Pissed off the government until they gave him a job - Gambled everything on the Brits losing a war with farmers - Sold bed warmers, bibles, and wool gloves in the Caribbean - Herded cats for pest control - Monopolized whale bone - Shipped coal to Newcastle - Fancied himself the equal of George Washington, Napoleon Bonepart, and King Louis XVI - And wrote a completely illegible autobiography, initially, with absolutely zero punctuation, causing it to read like a long, drawn out, badly misspelled paragraph, before releasing a 2nd edition with all the punctuation added in... on a single page (ALL WHILE HIMSELF BEING 100% ILLITERATE) Came from nothing and let nothing stop him from being someone. Timothy Dexter, the first in the East, the first in the West, and the greatest philosopher in the Western world, and by god one the truest Americans I've ever seen. Godspeed, you magnificent bastard.
I have "A pickle for the knowing Ones" at home because i bought it one day. It's amazing and probably the best book i ever read. I'm not sure because i stopped after a page.
Count dankula does a more indepth and amusing run of dexter and it goes into how utterly brain damaged he... his book is a literary wonder. Man blessed to a point even I have to suspect luck is real and worthy of worship.
I don't usually watch Sam O'Nella videos or reactions, but this was actually hilarious. I might have to change my opinion on those videos. Thank you, Paws.
We all laugh at this from this point a couple of centuries after the fact. But I am sure that everyone in his time found him extremely annoying, like how today we hate all those dumb "influencers" that do nothing but be a nuisance as much as possible and say dumb shit online. That's what Timothy Dexter was, the Logan Paul of his era.
I love this dude, even if he was crazy and a jerk. The punctuation page part killed me LMAO
Crazy stupid jerks can be pretty entertaining if anything just to see what they’ll do next
What?

This man lived the definition of ‘failing upwards’

Whenever I need a bit of luck, I pray to Timothy Dexter. It works half the time.
*clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*
Half the time it works every time
Ah Timothy Dexter, the embodiment of "task failed successfully"
What you can learn from this: luck matter more than intelligence and never give up in pursuing your dreams.

Timothy Dexter was truly the chosen one.
To be smart is to pretend to be an idiot in time.
And to be an idiot is to be an idiot
He also sent a shipment of furcoats to south america and sold them all. They were bought by people who planned an expedition to Siberia.

Ohhh, I caught this one live! Keep up the grind Paws.
Appreciate it 🥰

From the few videos I watched, they're either hilarious or atrocious (in terms of discomfort level) 😅, glad you enjoyed it tho!
Ah yes, Timothy Dexter, the definition of failing upwards.
Why does Paws look liked she turned on night light mode?

So the 1700s had their own Elon Musk, man the old saying is true. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Bra, Bra, bra
