Deductionist Master Class
Dear followers,
I am writing a series of posts to be the basis of this blog. This Deductionist Master Class will cover completely the art of deduction and logical reasoning. This series will be the foundation and grounding for all other posts on this blog concerning deduction and deduction sub-topics. This should be considered a loose text book which can be referred to again and again and added to for clarity. All posts after this series will be tips and tricks (unless otherwise specifies) to add to the foundation setup in this series in order to enhance the usefulness of that foundation.
There will be around 25 posts in this series, one a week. The Deductionist Master Class will be broken into 5 sections, with a few posts in each to cover the many angles of said subject. Each week I will submit a new part of the series, and then in 5 days I’ll submit a Q/A on that post consisting of the asks I’ve received and a few paragraphs to answer all questions (you know how I like to get into the details...so a few paragraphs is hopeful). Then another 2 days until the next part is submitted (thus a weekly system)
This system is setup so that you can scroll through my blog at any time to find a specific post without getting lost or frustrated. Post 1 - Q/A 1 - Post 2 - Q/A 2... and so on. Easy to navigate, not too difficult to read (My paragraphs do get quite dense though. I’m probably the reason there’s a market for blog commentaries).
Please let me know what you think and any concerns you may have. This series will begin November 1, 2017. In the meantime I’m open to any questions, topics, and puzzles you may have. While the series runs I would like to limit myself to private cases so that my blog remains easy to navigate.
This series structure is heavily influenced by Maria Konnikova PhD’s ‘How To Think Like Sherlock Holmes’. I’ve taken it and cut out any fat and added in what I think is important. I highly suggest reading this book both for and apart from this series.
(P.S. - Memory palaces are a completely separate series. I will cover it completely, however, memory palaces are not necessary to making functional deductions; so that will be submitted later as a sub-topic in order to enhance you deductive prowess.)
