She isn't implying you can become like a fictional Holmes. She is explaining that it should be possible to actively adjust the way you think about and perceive the world. You have already showed an inflexibility in your thinking if you dismiss her analogy simply on the basis of it being a fictional example. This is an excellent presentation.

Thanks for this! Fun to hear all these quotes I grew up with integrated into a coherent presentation. Just one caveat: at 17:09, "game" doesn't mean "entertaining pastime", it means "wild animals hunted for food or sport." Holmes is not saying "It's time to play the game", he's saying "Our quarry is on the run." Otherwise, nicely done.

Inventing viable explanations of things, is the stuff of genius. Intuition/default network is what we owe most of that to. Overconfidence can be wrong at times, but it's supposed to be - the point is the default network allows us to cycle through the different possibilities, until under analysis/evaluation, something is consistent. Intuition is wrong a lot, because that's the beauty of how it works.

I never actually "force" myself to remember anything, it just happens. I loved this video, and all the allusions she drew to Sherlock with science. He's always been one of my favorite fictional characters for his powers of deduction.

A girlfriend of mine (who is quite a beauty) once told me that whenever she makes a presentation about anything, the most common comment she gets it about her looks or how people weren't listening because she's too beautiful. Seems like some things never change haha. With that said once she talked about multitasking. I stopped what I was doing and really concentrated on her lecture instead. I hope I can develop a good habit.

A Holmesian fallacy (also Sherlock Holmes fallacy or process of elimination fallacy) is a logical fallacy that occurs when some explanation is believed to be true on the basis that alternate explanations are impossible, yet not all alternate explanations have been ruled out. The fallacy is an appeal to omniscience and an informal fallacy.

Years ago, while fresh in from college, I read Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It got me fascinated. I wanted to be like him so I thought on observe the character, its traits and identify patterns of his thinking process; so ended up writing thinking patterns on cards, rules to be exercised on myself to become like Sherlock by habit out of exercising... ideas like: "be in the moment", "always expect the unexpected", "think of an extra possibility even with all seems to make sense" and so on...

Excellent! Thought provoking. The first part of the video -- especially on the benefits of five minutes of quiet contemplation or a twenty minute walk -- reminded me of Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking". The second half of the video -- esp. the accountant story -- reminded me of Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow." Both are good reads, though Kahneman's is longer and a bit dry for the layman.

I realize I'm jumping in the middle of other people's discussion, but I couldn't resist! Sorry... A fictional character is the product of mind, in this case we can go one step back to the creator of Sherlock. Doyle perfected the character to entertain but in reality he himself shows the observing logical mind that we all want. If you take the plots, story lines and of course the exaggerations out of Holmes you can still see the points this speech made. Its only more interesting this way.

Basically what you are saying is that a person has a low probability of doing two things then to do just one. I think that doesn't follow since it's less possible to some one to do nothing, and it's also not likely to a person to do just one thing the entire time, I belive being an accounting and playing jazz for hobbie is much more likely to be true, since it's odd to be an accountant and only.

'Today we do this, people do that' - that's conditioning the mind for problem-perception mode. Instead, she should merely adress suggestions for those people who do, not assume it's 'everywhere'. Furthermore: 'Multitasking is a misnomer - there is no multitasking - we merely switch quickly between tasks'. This is indicating overthinking and putting too much value into words and definitions. Nothing is perfect, but the term "multitasking" is not 'wrong' - it serves its purpose.

Overconfidence is the key to hold back. I read a story with a Holmes-like figure who constantly analysed. Then he met someone who in a fit of rage analysed someone to the point of using their statistical ideas as fact: "I know people like you, you wear shirts to get noticed-you betend to stop smoking just so you don't have to stand outside with your alone thoughts!" Then the main character turns and says "if you were really mindful, you'd see that statistics show nothing on an individual".

Yes and no. I'd wanna avoid judging people based on experience, on stereotypes, and generally also on appearance, but only to a certain degree - everybody who has something important to say should think of a way of presenting it, which makes it seem relevant, as well. She did not quite cross that line, in my opinion, and I have had similar thoughts with the Sherlock Holmes example in mind before.

I don’t really know.

So please be critical of this method as well. I am sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to be seen as an equation, rather as a human being whom one should respect and whose personal choices one should accept and tolerate.

Question for you all. I was thinking this line of thinking may fall into the logical fallacy of an appeal to ignorance? An appeal to ignorance is an argument for or against a proposition on the basis of a lack of evidence against or for it. If there is positive evidence for the conclusion, then of course we have other reasons for accepting it, but a lack of evidence by itself is no evidence. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

It wouldn't effect the strength of your arguments, some (over*)sensitive people would be distracted though. (*subjective opinions, fun fun fun). Openness-to-experience is related to problem solving abilities and certain kinds of creativity. I'd think a LACK of negative reaction to short dresses, popped collars or chest hair would be associated with a greater psych test of Openess (and prob solv, creativity, etc, for good measure) of the audience members. A popped collar does not an idiot make.
