What is going on & problems

It is early August. That means there are a lot of tourists. Basically tourist season. Beacause I have to prctice everywhere I go, I deduce people. Usually with passing deductions, but when I go on the field just to deduce, that is going to change because I`ve been planning to go out in the city just to try to read people. When I`m doing these passing deductions I usually go for the simple stuff, like primary hand and field of work, relationships between people etcetera, very simple stuff. Lately a frequent question appeared: Are they a tourist? A lot of times I can answer that question based on the clothes and smell and they`re usually in groups. Trust me you can tell.

I have a problem. Not just one, a lot. I come to realizations that I am not actually that good. I can`t read non-verbal cues or observe nor know what to look for. All I can read is attire and that not very well either. That is why I need to study people and practice. The bad thing is that I don`t know what means what in body language. I really, really have to practice. All these people on the internet say it need time and daily practice but I`m kind of irritated with it, and I`ve kind of only been doing theis for about 2 weeks and I don`t know how to compare myself with other people.

Essay on Patrick Jane (spoilers)

Introduction. Patrick Jane is the main protagonist in the 2000's American TV show "The Mentalist" portrayed by Simon Baker. Patrick Jane is the main protagonist on the show, and with a surprisingly the least morals on the team of protagonists. We'll get to these later. Patrick Jane works in the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but later works for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Both as a consultant. Before that, he was a professional mentalist that faked psychic powers to get money out of people. Powers and abilities. Patrick Jane possesses a powerful mental prowess. He is a master of tactics and people, especially knowing them. His observational skills are absolutely exceptional. I myself, am a deductionist/mentalist, so I know about how this works. His observational skills are at the level of the legendary deductionist Sherlock Holmes. I'd even bother to say that Patrick Jane was a better Sherlock Holmes than the Benedict Cumberbatch inc

Intuition & deduction

Intuition. It's a thing that, if trained generally helps you with getting to know people. Also, looking through them. I'm currently working on the latter. Intuition is nothing that is like deduction, more like guessing. Very good guessing. In the show The Mentalist the protagonist, Patrick Jane uses his power of guesswork? He uses what is called intuition and a fair bit of deduction. We'll get to that later. Now intuition is something that is quite trainable. I'm on the road of training it. Intuition is something that works subconsciously. You look at a person and it just happens. People often confuse intuition and deduction with presumption, and that is often thought of as "being racist". This slides into the social dilemma of deduction, that I'm probabli going to do an entry on. How intuition works It basically works like this: You look at a person that is wearing very vibrant coloured clothes. A natural reaction in your brain is "This person mus

Recent experiences

A few days ago I saw a person that looked interesting to me, and because everyone on the internet was saying to me that I should practice, I started deducing and I didn`t get so much. I found out from attire that he must have been doing something sporty. He had his left hand in his pocket so he left his right, dominant hand to do something else. Lastly, he had some mud on his socks. That meant that he came there with a bike. NOT that it was an older sock because it rained that day. Also, I`ve been watching a lot of youtube on this topic. I also read an essay too from a young woman around my age. One of those youtube videos taught me how to observe a person. Starting from the shoes, going up to the knees then up to the jacket and it`s shoulders, back to the hands and lastly, the face. Then you simply run over the whole person again, from the data you gathered, create three or so theories and from those 1 greater picture of the person. I practice almost everyday but in passing deduction
