We can learn from Hannibal Lecter.
A memorable quote from Silence of the Lambs is the following:
"Frist principles, Clarice. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature?
In other words, what is its essence?
He was talking about Buffalo Bill and what clues can she use to find him. Conclusion: we covet; we covet what we see.
What can you deduce looking at this picture?
The happy occasion?
Who are they?
What nationality are they?
When was this?
Answers: elementary school graduation, sisters, Swedish, in the 60s.
Deducing is deductive reasoning. Applying Hannibal is inductive reasoning. Right Dr. Ellis?
