Tales of an aspiring deductionist

 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...

 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...

 My frequent readers know at this point, that I enjoy being a smartass. I will build on that by being a smartass about body language. Now, since I started deducing I was never too good on the topic. Especially in the early days, being a complete newbie and trying to deduce body language with 1 single youtube video wasn't a good idea and I'm completely against what I had back then. Now I've gotten pretty good at body language and can even teach some of my friends about it. Now I'll explain what I have. Body language really only builds on the 2 instincts of humans. Fight and flight. Flight can be tricky because you can't just run away when faced with someone you don't like. Rather, you try to pacify yourself with various little motions, that when seen with the untrained eye, are just random motions. These little motions are called "pacifiers". Fight is irrelevant. I just wanted to build up the explanation.  Now. All of what I'm saying along with what...

A lot of people start deduction because they saw the BBC Sherlock. I did too, It was the thing that made me desire this skill. I watched the show for the first time about 3 years before I started deduction. This is a very cool skill to have andit is just so big brain. I gradually forgot about this desire and didn't aid it. Then, 3 years later, I start watching the mentalist, because I lite TV shows like that, I go about 2 seasons, when Igo on a kayak race. We slept in tents and stayed up until late night. I, being alredy half asleep and having regained that desire of deduction, that I searched for something along the lines of " How to deduce?" "How to think like Sherlock Holmes" "The science of deduction" when I ran into the youtube channel, The art of deduction. It had a lot of good material on it, so I decided to check a video out. It was very good, and I think at this exact moment, my journey began to be a deductionist.  Proceeding to aid my thirst ...
