What deduction means

I didn't explain what deduction was in any of my posts. I decided that, I didn't write anything in my first posts, I'll just do it now, that I have a better perception of the art.

Deduction is a form of resoning in it's most bland form. It is basically taking two facts and combinig them into a conclusion. Deduction, the hobby or the art, or science, whatever you want to call it, Is and isn't the same. You observe virtually anything and then getting them into a conclusion. For example: you see a guy that is doing something with his right hand. Fact no. 1 is people who are right handed usually do anything more complex with their right hand, because it's the more dominant. Fact no. 2 is that he is doing something with his right hand. Conclusion: he is right handed. Deductive reasoning is a very strong kind of resoning because it builds up the walls of your argument, that is unbreakable. Deduction as a hobby does basically the same thing, but with less integrity, because you're kind of making assumptions.

Deduction is a very hard and time consuming hobby. First you have to learn to observe correctly and then learn to do something with the observations you've made. I've been doing this for the past four months and I became a beginner at it. ONLY a beginner. I do think I came a long way. People were skeptical, but I didn't care. More about that in a later entry. You can do it like me, have an on-off thing with this, or be consistent. You will learn it. Every person getting ino deduction has a viewof how easy it can be. |Every person can go through a dduction when having fed the information. They think it's easy because they've seen Sherlock ( like I have) and think it's a piece of cake and end up putting down the hobby because they didn't even know how to deduce a primary hand on their first time.

What I'm trying to say is, that it takes time to learn this. That's all I wanted to say.

Happy deducing!

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
