Anyone want to give this a try?

"Obviously, my dear fellow. I merely wanted to see how far you would attempt to take the deception. You see, despite your clumsily-printed credentials and your hat reading DOG TRIANER, I note the following: your clothes, while certainly well-used, bear not a trace of the aroma of the kennels - but rather of stale popcorn; your wrist and hands are unmarked, without even the minor scars and abrasions associated with dog-handling; and, unless my senses fail me entirely, that hissing animal you are dragging on a leash is… a cat."

One of the best things that I brought back from Europe is this book explaining Logic is used in arguments. This is necessary because of our current political situation and how people argue for their viewpoints... #logic #arguments #arguing #ancientart #earlfontainelle #reasoning #deductivereasoning #inductivereasoning #science #scientifictheory #scientificexperiment #abductivereasoning #diagnostics #detectives #analogicalreasoning #analogicalfallacy #logicalfallacy #knowledge #education #britishmuseum https://www.instagram.com/p/BnaDnH-nCgG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iexo04gj61rg

OMG I REALIZED SOMETHING

So I think johnlock is kinda canon

So you know how in a study in pink Sherlock thought John was asking him out? Wouldn’t he only think that if he deduced John was Bi/Gay?!

Carry on

In Regards to Michael Calladus’ “A Case of a Serial Extorter”

@theartoftheconsultingdetective is a deduction blog here on tumblr that works with other deductionists to solve cases and teach other people how to apply the skills of deduction and deductive reasoning in their everyday life, and on this blog one case, Michael’s first case, remains completely unsolved, partially due to his faulty deductive reasoning. I will attempt to rectify these mistakes in this post. First let’s examine the facts.

                                                The Facts (Simplified)

   -Someone went around the social media app Kik and threatened young and vulnerable girls with posting their picture on explicit porn sites, specifically featuring rape and torture themes. To prevent this, he proposed that these girls provide him with nude photos and the usernames of other girls.

                                               Michael’s Analysis

“If you have noticed I keep on using the pronoun he for the extorter, how could i know this, balance of probability. how many females do you know of that would go around asking for female pics to get money.

Yes, money! If he wanted to have pictures to look at then he’d just go to the porn sites in the first place, he would never go through such hassle just to look at pictures. so then only two obvious other reasons: either he wants the pictures to blackmail them (cant be because he already is blackmailing them), or he wishes to post the pictures to receive money.

So obviously he must be at least 18 or older because if he is getting money for the pictures, his credit card would be attached to the account. those type of websites check the credit card for age verification so therefore he must be at least 18 years old or older.” (Theartoftheconsultingdetective, A Case of a Serial Extorter, paragraphs 2-4)

 Now while these deductions are seemingly sound allow me to point out his crucial mistake that invalidates his following deductions and uproots the entire reasoning of his case: It’s Not About The Money

                                                My Analysis

Michael is in fact correct when he says that if this Extorter wanted to see naked women he could just go to a porn site, however Michael missed an obvious reason behind this Extorter’s action. To put it very very plainly, this person just wanted the connection you don’t get from porn, porn is formal and distant and generic and doesn’t compare to the connection provided by a one on one chat with someone. What he wanted was personal and provided the desired level of closeness and intimacy. It’s the same reason any guy would tell you they prefer to hook up with a girl and ask for nudes instead of watch porn (as this person did) it fulfills the need for intimacy. Following this and dismembering Michael’s complicated, and now, seemingly far-fetched explanation we can go ahead and say while this Extorter could be 18 he might just be an adolescent teen with raging hormones. 

How could Michael miss something so obvious? Simple, he is both looking for a complex solution and is or was unable to comprehend emotions and needs such as the need for connection. I am in fact a complete amateur though, and this post was not intended to bash Calladus or his deductive abilities, as I work closely with him, it was simply meant to correct faults in his only unsolved case.

FIVE TIMES SMILED

send ‘FIVE TIMES SMILED’ for five times your muse made mine smile|Accepting~

@deductivereasoning

1. It was rare, the months after Hal’s death, that she smiled. She had hardly left her office until she was dragged out by her friends just for a small ice cream date. Even then she didn’t smile. It’s not until Bruce Wayne showed up with her favorite take out and sat it down on her desk before sitting down in front of it. He didn’t tell her it’d be okay. He didn’t tell her that she’d move on. He just talked to her as if nothing had happened and he was telling her about his kids and what they were doing. It made her smile and it made her feel something other than sadness and heart break for the first time in a long time and that was something she’d forever be thankful for.

2. They’re at some gala he’s throwing and for most of the night they’ve stayed side by side and also most of the night she’s made snide remarks about more than a few of the patrons while he’s laughed. She doesn’t realize it but she’s falling more and more for his laugh and smile. She doesn’t realize that she’s smiling genuinely since they had gotten to the gala. 

“What’re you smiling at, Miss Ferris?” He asks and she can’t help but smile wider. 

“You.”

3. He’s sitting opposite of her on the couch, reading with his glasses perched on his nose and she’s more focused on watching him than she is on the paper in her hands. She can’t help but smile as she turns a page and he smiles ever so slightly and she quickly realizes that she loves this side of him. This rare side not many got to see but she did and it makes her smile even more. 

4. She’s not sure what she’s expecting when she sees a text with the name Bruce Wayne on it but it makes her smile when she opens it to see that it’s a good morning text. 

[Text] Good morning, Carol. Good luck on you meeting today. See you later ;)

5. Her eyes lift up at the knock on her door and she calls a soft ‘come in’. Blue eyes go wide at the sight of the bouquet of flowers in his hand and he smiles at her. “Congrats on the deal, figured I’d bring you something.” He told her and she smiles brightly at him, standing up to take the flowers and place a kiss on his cheek. 

“Thank you and I love them.” She smiled wider at him and she can’t help it. He’s never failed to make her smile. “Honestly, Bruce.”
