How to be a Pirate: Captain Edition

Director's commentary will come out with Part 2.
Adapted largely from The Invisible Hook. It's great, go read it: https://amzn.to/36PLKSE
Thank you, my Patrons, for making this video possible.
Special thanks to Peter T. Leeson for reviewing a draft of the script. Check out his newest book, "WTF?!: An Economic Tour of the Weird": https://amzn.to/3eEMm09
The offended captain saying “yar, it need only look good from afar” is probably one of my favourite CGPgrey lines

The BOOP and “fake guns don’t shoot, do they? *slaps hard on back*” “😠” made me die. With laughter.

About Dufresne's ending though .....

My theory is Grey just binged Black Sails (amazing show), and dude in glasses with beanie is the Walrus' accountant, then quartermaster Mr. Dufresne. Easily the character Grey would latch onto.

Great video! I really hope we get the decision tree as a wallpaper option

I love the lyrical lines, lovingly laced with little tidbits of tidy rhymes; abounding with alliteration and assonance.

Yet again, a video whose topic I never would have predicted yet somehow falls perfectly into the nebulous, undefined category of "definitely a Grey topic."

The sudden change from pirate talk to normal talk hurt me

I also recommend the chapter on pirate law in David Friedman's book "Legal Systems very Different From Ours" (quick look at the drafts here: http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Legal%20Systems/LegalSystemsContents.htm ) It describes how loot is shared and when and when not pirate captains can make decisions.

Should we be expecting a pirate-themed collection of wallpapers?
I think it's time we blow this scene, get everybody and their stuff together. Okay, 3, 2, 1, let's jam!
