Simpler view. Anyone who refused used abductive reasoning. Simply observing what was being done to us (from Day 1) led us to conclude something was ‘off’. And it stood to follow that if ‘something’ was off, anything that followed and flowed from that was also likely to be off.

It really wasn’t hard.
Although, abductive reasoning has become a somewhat lost art. Trust the science and all.
Maybe reading a few Sherlock Holmes novels might help.
Yes, over time I actually processed through virtually all of the authors reasoning, but that just served to reinforce my initial intuition in early 2020 that something really bad was coming down the pipeline.
As soon as things didn't 'make sense' I knew there must be another agenda at play. Whenever what anyone says doesn't make sense they are not sharing all the info with you and you should NOT trust them one iota. Especially with your physical health!
I agree. When EVERYTHING we had always done during pandemics and regarding medical ethics and privacy were thrown out the window from day 1 and our “experts” reversed themselves every other day, my question is how didn’t everybody know that something was “off”. Very badly off! It was a form of psychosis.
Thanks. Exactly. I have a theory. But I’d have to actually start writing on my empty Substack to lay it all out. Motivation lacking. Haha. I will say, I think it starts with a few decades of dumbing people down in govt run schools.
If you look at the bar chart of the categories of people who did not comply, it’s pretty stark. Those with the least amount of formal education and those with the most have the lowest % of compliance. And that does not surprise me. The least educated used their gut feeling, life experience and intuition, while the most educated used their abductive and deductive reasoning skills. Everyone else was caught in the fear vortex, and in a world where everyone gets a trophy and critical thinking is not rewarded, they complied.
Personally, (beyond my professional career which had some impact on my thought process due to knowledge gained over 30 years) I have my mom to thank. She was a contrarian and being the oldest child, I just took up the mantle at an early age.
Abductive reasoning is a form of logical inference that seeks the simplest and most likely conclusion from a set of observations. It was formulated and advanced by American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce beginning in the last third of the 19th century.
Deductive reasoning uses analysis of facts and data to reach a conclusion. Trust the science, you know.
Abductive reasoning uses observation of what one actually sees and hears.
Sherlock Holmes was a master at abductive reasoning. As was Columbo.
And that’s the point. In January/February 2020 there were no facts and no data. But there were many things to observe that did not look or sound “right”.

As in “the dog that didn’t bark”....
Yes…or as in “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact”.
That from The Bascombe Valley Mystery.
I think you meant "deductive reasoning" Watson, but "abductive reasoning" was in play here also:
"Abduction: The act of restraining another through the use or threat of force or through fraudulent persuasion."
Very respectfully, no.
