CGP Grey Explains How to Become a Successful Pirate on the High Seas Using Effective, Widespread Branding
The ever-insightful CGP Grey (previously) shares how to become a successful pirate on the high seas through thoughtful, effective branding. Grey based this animation on the book The Invisible Hook by Professior Peter T. Leeson. Grey also explains that pirates instill fear through example rather than a desire to kill.
We don't want to torture, understand. I scorn to do any one a mischief when it not for my advantage. But brands must mean something. And torturing over hidden treasure is quite memorable.

Grey also put together a more expansive, two-hour explanation of this titillating concept.
