My boss, your partner… the game goes on.

(said as a greeting. I’m still using episode 7.13 ‘Their Last Bow’ from season ‘Elementary(2019)’. That is a quote from Ellory(Wrenn Schmidt) talking to Joan(Lucy Liu). According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 25 minutes and 47 seconds into the episode.)

[9/21/2019: For the sake of variety, and to allow yourself to more able to use the greeting ‘My boss, your partner… the game goes on.’, instead of imagining the boss to be Jamie Moriarty, you may imagine the boss to be someone else, like your actual boss, your teacher, or even one or both of your parents. You may imagine the boss to be someone else. 9/21/2019]

Same numbers, different conclusions:

It is now 9:52 AM EST for me. I found a music video earlier today, but I don’t want to use it in the same context as one of the reviews given to it that I found in the internet. So, if you choose to, I want to give you the option to evaluate that music video in a different context using episode 1.7 ‘The Clean Room’ from documentary tv show called ‘Cosmos(2014)’ or ‘Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey’ hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. The episode is available from Amazon.com streaming for about 2 dollars Standard Definition, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 37 minutes and 42 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Neil deGrasse Tyson: ‘Edmund Muskie of Maine was the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution. In 1966 he held hearings on the lead question. The first witness was Dr. Robert Kehoe, longtime scientific advocate for leaded gasoline.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘Is it, uh, your conclusion that, in 1937 to the present time, there has been no increase in the amount of lead taken in from the atmosphere by the average traffic policeman, service station attendant, or.. or motorist?’

Dr. Robert Kehoe: ‘There is not the slightest evidence that there has been a change in this picture during this period of time. Not the slightest.’

38 minutes and 38 seconds into the episode:

Edmund Muskie: ‘Uh, looks like there seems to be an increase in the concentration of lead in people as a result of exposure to the environment. Is that correct?’

Clair Patterson: ‘That is correct.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘In identifying typical lead levels, you use actual measurements you’ve taken into the field?’

Clair Patterson: ‘Yes.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘A-Are these observations different from the ones we’ve been hearing about from other witnesses?’

Clair Patterson: ‘No, th-they’re the same observations.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘You-You’ve testified that there has been no change in natural lead levels, is that correct?’

Dr. Robert Kehoe: ‘That is correct.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘You’re sure about that?’

Dr. Robert Kehoe: ‘Absolutely.’

Clair Patterson: ‘The levels we see in people today may be typical. (chuckling) But they are not by any means natural.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘So you don’t disagree with Dr. Kehoe’s numbers?’

Clair Patterson: ‘Uh, no, no.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘You’re saying that the same numbers are leading to different conclusions?’

Clair Patterson: ‘Yes.’

Edmund Muskie: ‘You know, this is the kind of thing we expect to hear from lawyers, not scientists.’

Clair Patterson: (people laughing) ‘I would agree with that, yes.’

—

And finally, to help you understand all of that, a quote 40 minutes and 20 seconds into the episode:

Neil deGrasse Tyson: ‘Patterson fought the industry for another 20 years before lead was finally banned in U.S. consumer products. The man who figured out the age of the Earth was also responsible for one of the greatest public health victories of the 20th century. In just a few years, average lead levels in the blood of children plummeted by some 75%. …’

—

I called this idea ‘Same numbers, different conclusions’ because, using an obvious interpretation, you have 2 professionals, Dr. Robert Kehoe, and Clair Patterson, both using the same numbers, the same data, but both arriving at different conclusions using that same data. Here’s a quote to clarify:

Edmund Muskie: ‘You’re saying that the same numbers are leading to different conclusions?’

Clair Patterson: ‘Yes.’

This is what I am trying to recommend: I want to recommend a different use for a music video that has a different use than the use I want to recommend for you to use, according to a review I found in the internet. So, I’ll recommend to you that music video, give you a quote from that review, and then recommend a different use for that music video. Of course, you don’t have to use that recommendation. It is only a recommendation. Also, to keep this idea into perspective, if it were just a song somebody heard while driving, that person may just continue listening to that song, since he/she likes that song, even though that person has no idea what that song means. Of course, watching music videos have more scrutiny involved than just listening to it’s associated song from the radio.

All right. Here’s another reference that may allow you to use this proposed idea. It is from a scene from movie ‘Quantum of Solace(2008)’, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, and Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 54 minutes into the movie. Here is the quote:

Strawberry Fields: ‘We have a reservation.’

James Bond slowly walks into the hotel, and after a few seconds looking at the inside entrance, he leaves.

Strawberry Fields: ‘You’re going nowhere.’

James Bond says in so many words that he does not want to stay in that hotel.

Strawberry Fields: ‘We are teachers on sabbatical. This fits our cover.’

James Bond: ‘No, it doesn’t. Get in. (enunciating) ‘Get in!’

54 minutes and 38 seconds into the movie:

James Bond: (talking in Spanish, translated into English) ‘Hi. We are teachers on sabbatical and we have just won the lottery.’

So, just like James Bond switching hotels, I am going to recommend going from what I believe from my perspective to be a non preferred perspective to a preferred perspective. Instead of the perspective shown by the music video, I am going to recommend another use of perspective.

I found the music video I will recommend to you in www.youtube.com. The publisher is called ‘FINE CHART’. If you click that, I selected category ‘HOT NEW SONGS THIS WEEK | May 25, 2019 | New Songs & Music Videos’. It shows a sample of a collection of music videos. Music video ‘Fade Out’ by Olivia O’Brien is located 1 minute and 35 seconds into the previews. I watched the entire music video once for the 1st time earlier today. To watch the music video for free, search for phrase ‘fade out seeb’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with almost 1.2 million views. The music video premiered May 15, 2019, about 4 months ago.

Here’s a quote from www.thomasbleach.com about the song ‘Fade Out’:

Lyrically O’Brien reflects on the dating trend of ghosting and how you’re meant to let someone down. Because how are you meant to tell someone you’re not that interested in them when they don’t get the hint when you start ignoring them. “Sorry to disappear but I know that I can’t say what you want to hear. You’ll get over it. I never wanna give out fake love”. It’s a playful and fun look at dating and will become an anthem for anyone currently stuck in the Tinder game.

—

And here’s a quote from the song ‘Fade Out’:

But, baby, this is where I fade out
Yeah, this is where I fade out
You’ll get over it
I never wanna give out fake love
Nothing you can say when my mind’s made up
So I fade out

—

So, if you choose to watch the music video ‘Fade Out’, instead of using directly the perspective presented by the music video, use it instead as an example of a person learning to stop participating. It’s just one example, not every example, of a person learning to no longer participate in something. If you see it that way, then you may find watching music video ‘Fade Out’ useful to you.

[It is now 12:01 PM EST for me. I think I have time to order some take out food. Soon after, I will begin explaining idea ‘If you are strong enough’. So, I’m going to stop now, order the food, and continue later today. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

If you’re strong enough:

It is now 1:10 PM EST for me. I’m still waiting on the food that I ordered. So, I’ll start with the references used in making idea ‘If you’re strong enough’. I used the movie ‘Men in Black(1997)’, starring Tommy Lee Jones as Kay, Will Smith as Jay, and Rip Torn as Zed. I got the name ‘If you’re strong enough'(I thought it was originally ‘If you are strong enough’. You may choose to use both ‘If you’re strong enough’ and ‘If you are strong enough’) from a scene in movie ‘Men in Black’. The movie is available streaming as a rental and purchase from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 32 minutes and 34 seconds into the movie, Agent Kay is recruiting James Darrell Edwards III(Will Smith) into the Men in Black Organization. According to wikipedia, the Men in Black is a secret organization devoted to policing and monitoring extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Here is the quote Agent Kay made:

Agent Kay: ‘If you’re strong enough.’

In the 2nd illustration, I’m just using the holographic presentation refurbished from episode 1.10 ‘Cold Front’ from sci-fi tv show ‘Star Trek: Enterprise(2001)’, starring Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer, and Matt Winston as Agent Daniels. The hologram called by the show is a ‘temporal observatory’. That effect will be refurbished for the story I made for idea ‘If you’re strong enough’. Even though you’re just recommended to see the ‘temporal observatory’ effect, I’ll quote that scene anyway. If you have Amazon Prime, episode ‘Cold Front’ is available without additional payment. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 19 minutes and 8 seconds into the episode, Captain Archer and Agent Daniels are talking. Here is the quote:

Captain Archer: ‘So, you’re telling me you’re some kind of a time traveler?’

Daniels: ‘That’s one way of putting it. Maybe this will help clear things up. This is how we keep an eye on what’s going on. You might call it a Temporal Observatory. I know this must seem a little overwhelming.’

Archer: ‘Overwhelming… doesn’t quite cover it.’

Daniels: ‘I come from right about, uh… right about here. approximately 900 years from now.’

Archer: ‘Are you human?’

Daniels: ‘More or less.’

20 minutes and 33 seconds into the episode:

Daniels: ‘Look at this. This is a group of Anthropologists from 2769 observing the construction of The Great Pyramid at Giza. They’re doing it using the proper procedures set forth in The Temporal Accord.’

All right. Here is the story I made up using the movie ‘Men in Black’. As usual, I never recalled actually doing it before, but ‘as usual’ sounds accurate, too, I never typed such an idea before. This is the 1st time I’m putting it into words: Agent Kay recruits James Darrell Edwards III into the Men in Black organization, and his new name is Agent Jay. But before I get into that, thet’s look a little at what happened to Agent Jay before he was recruited. Based on the perspective of this story, James Darrell Edwards III was placed in a police line-up, so to speak. Agent Kay already decided to recruit him, but he still had to go through a certain routine. And that routine was shown in a scene from the movie ‘Men in Black’. Here’s a quote from the beginning of that situation. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 24 minutes and 10 seconds into the movie:

Zed: (talking to James Darrell Edwards III) ‘You’re late. Sit down.’

Zed: (talking to all in the room) ‘My name is Zed. You’re all here because you’re the best of the best. Marines, Air Force, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, NYPD. And we’re looking for one of you. Just one. What will follow is a series of simple tests for motor skills, concentration, stamina.’

Now, based on the 1st time that I watched the movie ‘Men in Black’, and that was before I started this blog, it was my private belief that James Darrell Edwards III looked pretty bad, based on how the movie compares him to the others being tested. The other test takers were shown by the movie to express facially indicated disapproval as to the actions of James Darrell Edwards III. So, to sum up the basic experience, here’s a conversation between Zed and Agent Kay as to how the results of the routine make James Darrell Edwards III look. That evaluation is also in the movie, and it starts 28 minutes and 33 seconds:

Zed: ‘He’s got a real problem with authority.’

Agent Kay: ‘So do I. But this kid ran down a Cephalopod on foot, boss. That’s got to be tough enough.’

Zed: ‘Let’s hope you know what you’re doing.’

You see, Zed just indicated that James Darrell Edwards III was already recruited by Agent Kay. Now, in this story, it’s important to see that James Darrell Edwards III was given disappointing evaluation results by Zed. That will help you understand the meaning of idea ‘If you’re strong enough’ better.

Here’s the part of the story that has a more familiar identity of being new: not in the movie, but in this story, Agent Kay is in management, and has 40 agents working for him. All 40 of those agents are using a resource that looks like the Temporal Observatory illustration from that ‘Cold Front’ episode in Star Trek. What it actually is is something created by several high schools in America. It represents a virtually convenient accumulation of knowledge from 1st grade to 12th grade. Basically, it’s grammar school and high school separated by grades. Several high schools created that interface for the government to use, and that interface is connected to those high schools. It’s always being upgraded. Since the Men in Black organization is a government organization, when Agent Kay discovered that such an interface existed, he filled out the necessary paperwork, and now his team of 40 is using it. Agent Kay is having all 40 of his Men in Black team use something in the 9th? grade of that interface. Now that he has Agent Jay as a partner, Agent Kay is going to need someone to teach him using what is in the 1st grade of that virtual interface. And since all 40 of his agents are already obligated with 9th grade, that means Agent Kay has to do it. And since what Agent Kay needs for Agent Jay to learn is a required ‘Men in Black’ skill, that’s when what Agent Kay said to James Darrell Edwards III makes more sense:

Agent Kay: ‘If you’re strong enough.’

Agent Kay is going to personally teach his partner, Agent Jay, how to cultivate a sense of strength, using something from 1st grade from that Temporal Observatory he has access to. I don’t think Agent Kay actually interacted with that interface. It’s something that Agent Kay just used. His other 40 agents, however, are using it directly.

So, if you look at that routine scene, you can see that the other people taking the test with Agent Kay are expressing some obvious disappointment and disapproval towards James Darrell Edwards III. [9/22/2019: I think it’s been a few years since I saw the movie ‘Men in Black’. I forgot about the shooting range scene. Just take that out, don’t use it for this advice. You can still use the disappointing looks the other test takers make after that shooting scene is no longer obvious. 9/22/2019] And then when you watch certain scenes from the rest of the movie, you can tell, with this story, that Agent Kay is ‘building up’ a sense of strength for Agent Jay to use. And based on the next 2 Men in Black movies, and Kay’s continued perseverence to help his partner cultivate a sense of strength worked.

Here’s an example that I imagined of an 8 year old girl using this idea in the beginning. Keep in mind that I just imagined it. She’s thinking to herself ‘Who is going to help me cultivate a sense of strength?’

I know it’s none of my business, even though I just imagined it. I believe that this is a good idea, but it’s still just an idea to me. To help that girl use that idea, you now may have the ability to help other people, knowing that someone, it doesn’t have to be you, but someone may have to help someone else cultivate a sense of strength. Maybe the girl has a brother that needs to be taught something, and she can see that a certain cultivation of strength may be required for her brother to learn, and she can teach her brother to have such a sense of strength. It’s a good idea, in my opinion. You don’t have to ever use it, but it can be useful for you to use.

[It’s 4:06 PM EST for me now. I’m finished explaining idea ‘If you’re strong enough’. I’m going to close this idea now. Next Saturday, I will finally explain idea ‘Resist’, unless I invent a relevantly better idea to type in instead. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
