As we all know speculation is frowned upon in academia and we are taught to stay without space, only hypothesise what we can support. Its beaten into us.
............................ yeah im not going to do that ! LOL
Here is a quick case study of my reasoning methodology and good example of exactly why we SHOULD absolutely lean into speculation as long as we understand what we are doing and why we are doing it.
Heres a case study sub folder from the Concord. Easy to digest and get some insight into my method.
Start with the README and follow the numbered files. Each leads naturally to the next. The subject matter is also deliberately way out there just to prove a point and you would be shot for suggesting it in any academic circle.https://github.com/ACBlainey/Concord/tree/main/STUFF/Case_Study_Blaineyan_Reasoning_Prison_Planet
Engage with either the methodology (thats the actual purpose of the case study) or if you want to have real fun, engage with the content itself !
