"Think like a vegetable" that's hilarious

Notice, He's at the University of Oxford in the UK when he recorded this. The Bodleian Sign gave it away, along with the Old style buildings, and the crests on the door.

Sherlock is my intellectual hero. His level of deduction comes from high IQ, experience and constantly challenging with new problems.

Sherlock Holmes. You forgot to mention he had incredible grip strength . His character was based on a teacher , that Conan Doyle knew . Conan Doyle was a prolific writer , but he's only really know for the sherlock Holmes series of books.

I would love a how to be like Jason Bourne video

Sherlock Holmes knew bartitsu, a martial art that is a combination of boxing, savate, jiu jitsu, and cane fighting. It sounds pretty cool

A few thoughts on the video. 1. Sherlock Holmes states the reason why he does not know or gain knowledge of certain things is to keep his memory clean and not lose knowledge with useless information. He actually refers to his brain as an attic which once full stuff must be removed from for more to be added. 2. While Sherlock Holmes is fictional there are at least 3 real people who he may have been based on. Joseph Bell FRCSE, Sir Henry Littlejohn, and possibly Harry Houdini. People actually commented on the similarities between Bell and Holmes. 3. Deduction not being a science is an odd one because a lot of fields teach some form of it. From the clip shown of Darren Brown he works out what someone does for a living by how they walk and how they look at him. This is something that Martial Artists, Police Officers, Criminals, soldiers and spys must all learn to do and it must be taught or learnt in some way. 4. Synesthesia is when someone experiences a different sense than normal so for example they smell a colour. The reason this would be most interesting to people is if you are trying to remember something the more senses you bring in the better you remember it. Smell specifically has a big memory effect apparently. 5. Sherlock Holmes does not use drugs to enhance anything. As best portrayed in Elementary having his abilities are a nightmare which without cases to solve he needs a way to turn it off. 6. Loci works because for some reason humans remember journeys or routes better than anything else. 7. The abacus idea of learning math is very interesting because Sherlock Holmes must have this ability across his whole memory. Really enjoying your videos, get hold of How To Develop A Perfect Memory by Dominic O'Brien in which he lays out a lot of the ways to create a super memory. He uses a 3 part system for remembering numbers which is how the memory champs do it. Still looking for a really good memory palace book however got Mind Maps by Tony Buzan to read which is supposed to have something.

You should watch The Art of Deduction his channel mainly teaches you things like memory, observation, logic, body language.

Something that helped me was counting, colours and shapes. This comes from the idea that you dont know how many steps there are that lead to the library, or the canteen or on the bus leading to the second floor. Start by counting. Notice how many steps. Notice how many screws, how many handles how many doors. etc. Then what colour things are and finally what shapes they are.

Awesome video! I just discovered your channel a couple of months ago and I had to subscribe. Growing up a comic book nerd I was always more of a Batman over Superman guy. The idea of training and improving yourself to high levels in various areas of life was always there. I just read a book called Becoming Batman by a neuroscientist named E. Paul Zehr which takes a scientific, critical look at the possibility of a person reaching Batman levels of performance. In it he mentioned how Sherlock Holmes was one of the inspirations for the detective side of Batman. This video was perfect timing as I’m just getting into a serious Sherlock Holmes kick right now. I’ve been experimenting with a lot of the things you’ve mentioned and look to go further in depth on everything. It’s all part of my master plan of becoming a "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist” like Tony Stark would say lol. Well enough rambling, let me just wrap this up by saying thanks for your videos and keep up the good work. Maybe someday somebody will make a video on how to become The Bioneer!

Come on this deserves so much more views..

Derren Brown is a complete and utter genius - how to think like Derren Brown would be great.

Seriously some of the best content on youtube here

I didn't realize you touched on this topic too. Good to know.

According to the subject of memory techniques. I use the technique of memory "palace". Well... Not exactly. I use multiple places that I know very well to store different kind of information. The place I live in now is for things that I need to remember temporary for example plans or shopping list, fictional place Valley of Mines from game Gothic I use for storing Information from books I read on self development also books on philosophy, history etc. The country house that my parents owned when I was a child with surrounding fields and forest is used for scientific data thanks to lots of varying areas is great for categorization. What I find difficult is making connections between things from different places in same location or in completely separate one (for example connecting self development information to the scientific knowledge that expands this certain topic) I started building system of links but it really ain't yet perfect solution.

Great video. It has given me a bit to think about. Well worth the watch.

Moon Walking with Einstein by Joshua Foer is a fantastic book for memory techniques. Kind of a dive into the world of memory competitions and creating your own memory palaces.

Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite detective stories and novels.

My hero who inspired another of my heroes

Wonderful video as always, i'm a huge fan of your channel. Not only that, given that you've inspired and educated me, it's time to show you my incredible prowess in body language reading and psychological analysis demonstrated on you yourself, as a sincere thank you to your belief in the human potential. * ahem. * You waited to do that shot where you take a drag on the pipe all week, didn't you?

My new favorite youtuber!

I'm off to a start. I use a memory technique I've employed since childhood in order to remember something like a person's name. I've just started a new job and with each new person I meet, I find a way to link their name to something that I'm familiar with. Now when I see that person, I think of that connector and am able to remember who they are. Some examples: Brenda--my mother's name Cindy--Cindi Lauper Caitlin--"Caitlin's Way" (a TV show I watched on Nickelodeon as a teenager) Jerrie--Tom and Jerry James--James Dean/Jimmy Dean/Jim Kirk Carolyn--character in "Portal 2" Justin--Just in time

So basically Sherlock holmes is just Batman who's not Bruce Wayne?? 😓

According to Dr Watson and what Holmes wasn't well versed in, I'm sure he was versed in astronomy. Especially considering the era and that being your master clock, as it were. There also has to be more than a couple stories where the criminal was committing crimes according to a cycle which turned out to be an astronomical or zodiac cycle that Holmes recognized. All that aside, the fact that Sir Conan Doyle and especially HIS mentor bootstrapped modern criminology is fascinating.

Hey, awesome video,I really learned a lot :)

2 of my most favorite Holmes based TV characters is House MD and Shawn from Psych

Just found the best KZfaq channel

I've always liked the sherlock holmes character. I used to read enigma books when I was young. I think one of his talents is to extract what is important in each situation/room/scene making every hint harmonise into one story able to explain it all. I've always felt the CSI shows were exagerated. Cops with 14 Phds that can recount that one time where this molecule interacted with a substance and then boom! Case solved! I've always prefered the Bones and her team of super nerds. Another one would be NCIS. Of course, they also have their excentric super nerd that high on caffein. In the end, it's all about making connections after careful observations and putting aside what is not necessary. Don't forget, Sherlock Holmes' ability came at a price, he's not very well adapted to normal social settings. What is a huge brain good for if you can't make friends and loved ones benefit from it!

Thanks Sherlock.... always great info....

Want more and full series on situational awareness and self training and books over it

No joke, you’re an awesome dude.

I would like to see a video of deductive and inductive reasoning. Also, being able to parse or remove irrelevant information is very helpful to read situations.

Thanks mate this definitely inspired me

Very interesting video Adam!I really enjoyed it!Can you tell me please what's your opinion on the topic of speed reading.

It is a WHOLE LOT of information about Sherlock Holmes. But I got several of the books, like How to think like Sherlock Holmes book and Derren Brown's Tricks of the Mind. Again it is a lot of information in this video. That is definitely a good thing though, as it is fun and gives you something to strive, Like Sherlock Holmes or Batman. Interesting concepts indeed.

You keep it all interesting..you are really good broh! 😊

A really interesting trick that might help with memory is when you are riding around memorize a license plate and try to recall it a few minutes later and keep trying too

One of your most enlightening videos.

Can u make full series over brain attic and practical application and exercises and real time tips

A Good/tool/map/method to help us observe/understand Learn/read/write/speak is = Grammar=who=what=where=when=Logic=why=Rhetoric=how.

Great video.

observation is my seçond nature. -SH and davinchi

Excellent just Excellent!

I loved RDJ's Sherlock Holmes! Probably one of my favorite fictional characters

Thanks I'm going to start training synesthesia

1618354 likes... at least... and all golden! I will extend my essay on thinking, and learning and teaching thinking, which derives from two main sources: establishing a true machine-based epistemic behavior, and the philosophy formulated by Gilles Deleuze, which is about the Differential. In fact, you presented learning thinking as one would teach learning skillfully producing some crafts. Now extend, and make a science from it. You will generate a quite different set of tools for thinking. However, saying this, i deeply appreciate your whole approach of becoming unique. Love it, indeed.

Stereotypes are highly useful for deduction. Like deducing the person across the room is a paramedic by smelling the iodine on them as they walk by. Seeing there hair air dryed after it rained last night. Stereotyping them by making the assumption that a doctor would not go out side in the rain. You are missing a big factor. 10 10 vision to see detail that others don't.

Training Your Intuition - is a lecture given by Manly P Hall. Amongst so many other incredible lectures he’s given I highly recommend you listen to this.

Great video as always. Ironically I was about to make one about the exact same thing. I have an idea for a video for you to do if you are interested. You get mire veiws than me so it would be cooler if you did it. I'm giving myself real superpowers and the next one on the list is aquaman (I know he's lame, deal with it. Lol) The moken children can see with perfect clarity underwater by changing the lens focus of their eyes at will. UK children were taught the same by looking at sinusoidal gratings underwater and learning this lens technique (I don't remember the technical term) Anyways, I was about to do a video on it but it would probably be cooler if you learn it and explain how. It's pretty easy but very transhuman.

Your videos are awesome.

Exelent video. To expand upon it: consider that what you are learning, you are in fact remembering. It creates a shift where you have access to infinit information and are just given what you need for the next step. When i read, I recognize the validity of information by comparing it within my self. "Yes that makes sense" is like a déjà vue. How is it possible? The idea of in and out is an idea. It is not the whole truth. Is is a manifestation if everything is one. How does that feel?

03:04 wow, drinking coffee while meditating, badass! A second later: Wait did he just blinked?

Want more about accelerated learning

👏👏👏👏 good job keep up 💪

Dope Video Dude

Do on Brain training real time practice and day routine planning with brain foood and brain workouts and smart drugs (coffee+dark chocolate) and meditation and etc....

Ok, years of preparetion, but when comes a real task?? ;-) ... I like your content!!

If I hear I forget if I see I remember but if I do I understand. Confucius.

make a video on "how to make a action plan like Micahel Scofield."

Most people with synesthesia have cross senses in multiple areas. I have some slightly more rare types. Mirror touch, tactile/audio, and tactile/visual as well as some more common types such as associated color/texture to letters, numbers, weekdays, and words

Can u make real life situational simulation as a story with pictures ...as a waking up in a day and till end , traffic, parking, street navigation,urban situational analysis,

Im inspired. Let me give it a shot :D. Ironed clothes, shaved, white teeth, smooth skin, a golden ring, constant blinking, fair amount of muscle. Married, you enjoy exercising physically and mentally, everything is clean so you don't have kids or pets, you are sitting next to a window, you are well paid on your job and youtube is just a hobby, your wife also has a career of her own, you or your wife enjoys gardening (2:40). Your back yard is surrounded by trees, its afternoon. How was I? Edit: Your back yard is surrounded by trees, suburban area?

Hello mate, good video. The most effective technique to improve situational awareness is the system that close protection operatives use. Using the principle of 'commentary driving' to your everyday life. Keep a commentary going, verbal at first, to describe everything going on around you. Eventually it becomes a sub conscious system. Check out the modern bodyguard from peter consterdine for a more complete description Thanks mate

I can vouche for the efficiency of pneumonics that how my third grade teacher taught us math , ill be 36 this year and I remember every single rhyme she taught us lol

Loved it

There is something else that slows down the default mode network 😋

Great job 👍🧠☝️

If you think that humans were meant to live a life less than 100 years ... I know how you feel but this simply doesn't make sense biologically.. but it makes sense psychologically.. we weren't meant to eat animals and if so fish ever had a tuna steak?? Turtles... elephants... humans are strange I hope that in the future we can live what people would say today wow godbless!! Your 100?! Whoa your secret??? We should for the richness and rewards of life monetary or personal people becoming something is so easy because all you need to do is convince yourself you will think and act differently even on a subconscious level... Bioneer keep it up

Jason Bourne video

Hi!Can I know the technique of speed reading?

Thank you sir arthur conan doyle

Awesome channel much love from Pakistan

I still remember the phone number of a cruise company scam thing that used to leave voice messages That number is so useless and I memorized it when i was 8

3:05 there is nothing in your cup, right?

Bro you are fucking amazing, great content 👍🏼

You should do a how to be like Jason Bourne

Music is a bit loud

this is usefull

All the ways if you watch and read of Mr. Holmes is that in the USA he would have azbergers and just was never told so or he couldn’t.

I struggle a lot with day dreaming. Takes a lot of effort to stay mindful.

Did you say "Alphamine" or "Alphanine" regarding nootropics?

👍

You and I need to meet in person

Mind eye hmmm sounds like the third eye

11:27 that explains why Snoop Dogg has got an IQ of 145😁😁

I'm pretty stupid. I should try, an admittedly anecdotal, self study about what would make me smarter. I'd need benchmarks, though. Standardized testing before and after? I really don't know much about cognitive performance testing and what I'd look at. I know I'm stupid, and I know I could easily fall into the trap of "feeling" better and thinking I'm smarter based off that feeling, but really I'd just be fooling myself. What could I do to create benchmarks for multiple areas of....intelligence? Cognitive performance? Someone should help me out, I'm too stupid to accurately articulate my thoughts here. I think I'm in a very unique position to test this, as my intelligence is actually pretty low. If nothing else, maybe I could improve myself and place in this world. Maybe, though, I could actually get this information out there for others who find themselves in the position of being self aware of their short comings in intelligence.

Does Sherlock use nootropics?

Derren Brown is the worlds greatest living mentalist .... Matt Dillahunty. I would strongly agree.

note for self: start from middle of the video

A video on ninja turtles would be good

Pro tips: smoke opium and be born a genius

Of course, we have to smoke like a g with a badass pipe

Christ, all these wizards are flipping

First!

Dude, taking drugs responsibly does help with all those things. People who have problems, have pri-existing issues that become exposed.

dude can you add like a summary cause some of your videos are so long

The answer is..... Semiology

Want full on physical brain exercise and brain yoga

5:20 Sherlock Holmes has never said that. That was Spock.

One must be an Autist to think as Mr. Holmes.
