    I own his book. There's a wonderful section where he details how he has found the physical soul. He says that, since when you drown someone to death, a bubble of air is released from their mouth that then floats away, that "the bubble is the soul", and that, basically, the soul escapes the mouth when you die, which is then only visible underwater.
    Me and some friends like to imagine Dexter drowning people in his basement and capturing their last breath/souls in mason jars.

      How Did Dexter make his money they asked. “By buying whale bone to stain my ships, making 380 and 40 tons per boat. All in Salem, Boston and New York.” Under Cover I told the people. Everyone laughed, still I had my gun, and four cunning men for backup. They sounded a horn, because I told them to act like fools. I was broke, but I had 9 tons of fake silver. It felt like the gods were laughing at me. Rumors of my fake silver spread fast. But here’s the catch after 50 days it was all smelted, but a rat found out it was going to Newberry Port. Spectators swarmed like hell. I had to be short with it, I made a little over 75% per one ton and a half of fake silver.

      Coal to Newcastle? Literally rumors of a strike coming on
      Whale bone? French obscure fashion that's slowly growing popular
      Rat problem in the indies? Kinda obvious
      Revolutionary bonds? Knew someone with an ear to the government that heard whispers about an appeal to it to keep people happy and Dexter already knew the value of currency inflation and deflation from the revolution as shown by ownership of other currencies
      His book? Clearly it wasn't too hard to read for the time because if it was it wouldn't have sold well enough for 8 fucking editions
      Man was just a massive shitposter ahead of his time, I'll leave you with my favorite quote from Dexter and you tell me if this sounds like a complete idiot without any introspection or brains to speak of:
      "An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from"

      How Did Dexter make his money they asked. “By buying whalebone to stain my ships, making 380 and 40 tons per boat. All in Salem, Boston, and New York.” Under Cover, I told the people. Everyone laughed, still I had my gun, and four cunning men for backup. They sounded a horn because I told them to act like fools. I was broke, but I had 9 tons of fake silver. It felt like the gods were laughing at me. Rumors of my fake silver spread fast. But here’s the catch after 50 days it was all smelted, but a rat found out it was going to Newberry Port. Speculators swarmed like hellhounds. I had to be short with it, I made a little over 75% per one ton and a half of fake silver.
      Dexter has a dream about warm pans in the west, for three nights. He proceeds to buy 42,000 pans, put them on 9 ships, and sold them for a profit of 79%. The pans were sold to good chefs who made great use of them. Now born a new his face was the best thing he'd seen in days. He felt lucky. then in his sleep had another dream, he dreamt that a bible was in the run-down Courtney, of the fort that used to be there 9 years prior. He found bibles for sale there, that were so old he could buy them for half price. He bought 12% amounting to 21,000. He put them in 21 boats heading towards the west. Then he sent word that every family must own one bible, or they'll go to hell. He proceeded to sell the bibles for a 100% profit. He then says he's already said too much. Tells everyone to relax, and not to wonder where he made his money ever again.

    When you said he bought whale bones for stay-stuffs I thought for a moment "Great, you can't have stays without whalebone! Stays were popular in the 18th century." Stays were the precursor to corsets and the "whalebone" inside of them is actually baleen or those soft bristly whale teeth that gives them a firm shape but still flexible. Then the story went somewhere else completely 😅

      How Did Dexter make his money they asked. “By buying whalebone to stain my ships, making 380 and 40 tons per boat. All in Salem, Boston, and New York.” Under Cover, I told the people. Everyone laughed, still I had my gun, and four cunning men for backup. They sounded a horn because I told them to act like fools. I was broke, but I had 9 tons of fake silver. It felt like the gods were laughing at me. Rumors of my fake silver spread fast. But here’s the catch after 50 days it was all smelted, but a rat found out it was going to Newberry Port. Spectators swarmed like hell. I had to be short with it, I made a little over 75% per one ton and a half of fake silver.

    This whole thing reminds me of my grandpa. He started as a potato farmer until he could afford a shack for his family in whats basically the slums of the country capitol. Once there he started a small roadside fruit and vegetable stand just in time for when that road was getting expanded as one of the main routes in the country. He then upgraded to a small shop and trough some people and wandering salesman made connections with people from the ports down south and set up supply chain for foreign or rare fruits which ended up being such a big hit that people were coming from the other side of town to buy from him and this was so lucrative that he teamed up with a couple of his at the time competitors and started supplying them for a cut of the profits. Eventually he just started pretty much just working as a supplier for everyone with the store only being there as an afterthought and to teach my father and his brother discipline. He eventually sold this business just in time for it to not really be as profitable and instead fully focused on the thing that he wanted to make and that was a big local bar which was his dream and he had a perfect name for it.. unfortunately it got take a day earlier and it was such a good name that it became a local icon. Grandpa had to settle for something less notable but it was fine as the bar was made just in time for a massive influx of residents due to new industry opening nearby and he had the only bar within a few miles so it was very profitable and a favorite for the locals. Sadly after my grandpa passed my father and his brother pretty much let go and let everything fall apart and the bar was close for a couple of decades until some of the locals contacted us wanting to buy the bar so they could reopen it and they wanted to reopen it with the same name, hell they even have a picture of grandpa hanging over the counter , that really brought a tear to my eye when we visited it for the first time.
