Intro to mentalism (mentalism 101)

 Mentalism is a very close thing to deduction, but with a twist of showmanship. I've explained some aspects of it, but today I will give you a bigger picture.

This mentalism "project" is going to be a series. A series of me explaining this particular form of showmanship. My dear friend the science of deduction blogpost.

So, mentalism is very close to deduction, but how close? It is a "style" of deduction that is using your intuition to get the info you're looking for. It also requires a skill to understanding psychology and a large knowledge in body language. It also requires cold reading skills and many more skills to be able to at least appear mentally intelligent. This is also highly connected with being a fake spiritualist and pretending to talk to the dead. In my case I'll just try and be like Patrick Jane.

These are going to be shorter entries, both on tumblr and here, so prepare.

Happy deducing!

The comparison and analysis of Sherlock Holmes and Patrick Jane

 I've already did an entry on this in the past but it way too shallow. I wasn;t able to relly reflect on the structute of both characters I mentioned. These 2 characters are way different from each other, but have a surprising lot in common. Introducing: Sherlock Holmes Since he appeared out of thin air in the study of scarlet , he has been a pioneer of deduction in pop culture with over 200 actors having portrayed him. When someone asks a normie to name a deductionist They will either ask what deduction is, or say Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is a keen observer of such small details, and a really quick thinker. A lot of videos on youtube on the topic of deduction are titled something like: "How to think like Sherlock Holmes" and not "How to deduce". This is  understandable, because everyone knows Sherlock Holmes, but very few know about deduction except the tax meaning. What I'm trying to say is that Sherlock, the deerhunter hat and the pipe, is deduction in th...

Hi

 Hello everyone. It's been a ridiculously long time. I honestly miss this sometimes. It's been over a year since I wrote my first entry. And I really miss it.  I'm (hopefully starting a new blog.

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...
