*clears throat*

 Sorry I haven't been posting, my mental health is at a (hopefully temporary) low.

I've grown in this 6 months of being a deductionist. Grown a lot. At th start I really thought I had no actual intellect. I was wrong. I'm way better at observation and that kind of stuff. My environment still hasn't accepted my newfound intellect. That is why I'm a tad depressed. Anyway, this isn't a blog about my gradually worsening mental health, but a blog about deductions.

Footsteps

Footsteps are inevitably the most blandly used source of information used in various (shallow) detective media. It is often used for knowing where a bloke was heading, or what they were going. The actual things that you can deduce from a footstep is not that much, but very useful to a detective. You can determine the person's height, weight and if they were carrying something, for example: a dead body. 
I actually got this idea because it was snowing in my town for about a week, and footsteps happen on soft gravel-like surfaces.

NOTE

I haven't been deducing in a while, but I plan to. It is a good way to be. Also, for those who saw my tumblr post about sizzling bacon and thought I lied, don't worry I've been writing  things up in my notebook. I'm just keeping it for later. With that...

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...
