Famous (fictional) deductionists and how I think they function

Famous deductionists have always existed, we just don't know them. Famous deductionist I'm going to be talking about here are going to be of course Sherlock Holmes and Patrick Jane. Both I adore. We will also going to be talking about mentalists. This is because A friend of mine opened my eyes to my mentalism skills, mostly meaning intuition. We will delve into that later.

Sherlock Holmes

Ah the old detective that started it all for me. He had hundreds of adaptations since his debut in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story A study in scarlet. My first meeting with the character on the screen was in 2020. In the middle of the quarantine, and intense boredom, I started watching the show. It truly felt so brilliant. I watched it around 4-5 times and then abandoned it. It was on netflix at the time and it wasn't in hungarian. With my limited english skills at the time I had to watch it with hungarian subtitles. The translation was horrible. A year later I Somehow got an infinitely better skill at english. I was watching and understanding the show with ease. I was still pretty slow at the time, so I still had to keep the subtitles on because Sherlock is quite a quick speaker. If you haven't guessed I'm talking about the 2010 adaptation with Benedict Cumberbatch.

I'm going to go off with the more accurate adaptation, the movie with Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes works just like me, or Bruno Holmes or any deductionist. Sherlock, of course doesn't only have the skill of deduction, but the skill of chemistry and such sciences. He is a true master of disguise. He has been deducing since his late teens, so the natural talent and intelligence and the sheer experience adds up to an unstoppable detective. If you don't cound Irene Adler. Sherlock Holmes is really only focusing on the ceratin details like attire and such.

Patrick Jane

Patrick Jane is HIM. No kidding. He is my role model. I want to be as smart and as good of a deductionist as him. My methods resemble his. It is just scary, how simillar they are. He is a person who understands people, and that is his biggest strenght. He uses his intuition and his deductive capabilities and attention to detail eually, in harmony. He is an expert at body language AND details.

I first discovered the show The Mentalist when I was surfing through HBO max and saw it. I read the description and I watched it. I fell in love almost ammiediately. I started watching the show every evening until around 6 AM. This started in the summer and I watched it through until august. I'm currently on my 3rd watch-through. I fell in love with the character and I aspire to be like him.

Happy deducing!

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...

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...

Bye.

The personal blog of "Adum Jane" Hello there. Long time no see. I have been on a hiatus for a longer time than I am comfortable with. I'm not saying I'm going to come back. No I won't. To deduction? Maybe. To blogging? Unlikely. I just want to say thanks for the community. It's been a fun ride. Personal Stuff This isn't a usual post. I don't usually do this. I kinda need to vent a little bit. I have a lack of trust for human beings. I know people and how they think. Human beings are fucking disgusting when you think about it. We lie, we cheat, we harm others of our kind intentionally, we betray. The sheer amount of ranting I could do about human nature is a disgusting amount. I fucking hate myself. I'm a human being. I Have flaws. Just like you. I am a stupid piece of shit. Every single human flaw I can make I make. It's starting to really piss me off. I am a piece of shit. NOT just subconsciously. I do it on purpose. OK I usually do it to peo...
