Excerpt for A Study in Scarlet, 1st Sherlock Holmes novel:
Ok here's the game, read a couple of Sherlock Holmes novels and always envied how homosexuals and my grandma could read people on the street. So:
1-Wherever you're in a crowd, observe people.
2-Based on your observations, try to deduct something about them.
3-If you find your inference to be clever and elementary, you can take note of it here -no pictures obviously.
4-Malicious agents scrape the data. We feel we're targeted to buy products more effectively.
Very forced thread, but in any case, just a reminder to carefully look at people. Maybe you find something!
"From a drop of water," said the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the Science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can only be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. Before turning to those moral and mental aspects of the matter which present the greatest difficulties, let the inquirer begin by mastering more elementary problems. Let him, on meeting a fellow-mortal, learn at a glance to distinguish the history of the man, and the trade or profession to which he belongs. Puerile as such an exercise may seem, it sharpens the faculties of observation, and teaches one where to look and what to look for. By a man's finger-nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser-knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt-cuffs–by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent inquirer in any case is almost inconceivable."

Went to a bootleg shitty flea market today and saw a man, around fifty. Then I observed his nails. the middle one was dirty or white. Deducted nothing.
Also saw a seemingly schizophrenic old man having a fit of dramatic anger and wailing crying and screaming in a deserted closed commercial passage. Millenially sat at hearing distance from him, looking at his reflection on a shop, for 10 minutes while he screamed alone disparaged fragments of harsh moments of his life:
- He was "El Chunruguito" -something like that- speaks in 3rd person about him: "DEJEN AL CHURUNGUITO EN PAZ!!!"
- "COLORADO SI TE LA QUERES GARCHAR A LA GABY ALADA, A MI QUE ME IMPORTA" screamed while performatively wimping: El colorado, possibly a gringo -an italo-descent in Argentina- copulated with Gaby Alada, a girl he might have liked or was his, in spite of his seeming remark of uncaring.
- "YO NO ME VOY A PRESENTAR!!, YO NO ME VOY A PRESENTAR!!" also screaming and crying: I'm not going to present: A bad job? Forced military conscription?.
Was too shy to approach him for fear to "get hooked" to a man who had lost the thread of reality. Didn't look like begging was screaming too much and people avoided him. He was broken, people think of degenerative
