Sound bytes:

I have a few ideas that I won’t make a separate list for, simply because there’s not much to say about them individually. However, I’ve decided to put them together in one list and call them ‘Sound bytes’. I think I got that name from a magazine that talked about computer related issues I read years ago. I don’t recall the name of that magazine. Besides their brevity, another thing in common these ‘sound bytes’ have is that they all are created based on their tv show or movie references. Basically, it may be said that their tv show or movie references are them, with some advice related refurbishing involved, of course. The 3rd thing in common that these ‘sound bytes’ have is that all of these ‘sound bytes’ are used by me to make more ideas. For example, if you have your own web site or blog, there are tools provided to you from the web site or blog that you may use to add more information or upgrade your web site or blog that are provided by the web site or blog. One recommendation that I offer you is that you use these ‘sound bytes’ to help you make more ideas, for example, like the way you would add more information to your web site or blog, said in relation to advice, of course. How to use these ‘sound bytes’ will be more clear as I explain them. [And finally, the reason I am typing these ‘sound bytes’ now is because of the next idea I plan to type in. Hopefully, I will start that next idea today, if I am able to finish explaining these ‘sound bytes’ ideas today. Oversimplifyingly said, the next idea I believe is kind of serious in such a way that I believe it’s in your best interest if you have some sort of other useful idea before that useful idea is explained.

Point taken:

In my opinion, I believe ‘Point taken’ is the best ‘sound byte’ idea I have to offer you. Of course, there are other schools of thought that may not agree with my opinion. I just thought that such a stated fact may be useful to you. According to Amazon Video, the ‘sound byte’ reference is located 27 minutes and 50 seconds into episode 3.2 ‘The Ensigns of Command’ from series ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation(1989)’. Here is a quote:

Deanna Troi(Marina Sirtis):-‘We conceptualize the universe in relatively the same way.’

Captain Picard(Patrick Stewart):-‘Point taken.’

In relation to advice said, I recommend you watch the rest of that conversation between Troi and Picard for further context, of you choose to. Now, when you imagine Picard saying the words ‘Point taken.’, that is when you are making certain ideas in your head that you may choose to put in the form of a conversation you are having with someone. For example, you may imagine one of your teachers, a co-worker, or your boss giving you some sort of advice or constructive criticism that you may need to practice experiencing. You may want to give that person a proper response, so when you imagine that person talking to you, and you just need to imagine the conversation itself only, not who they actually are, and that person is done talking to you, you then collect yourself to see if you have listened to them, whatever a proper response may be to you, and then when you are ready, you say the words in your head only quote-‘Point taken.’

Here’s a question for the advice:-‘Why imagine it?’ Recommended answer: The expectations of others may not always align with your own expectations. You may think of situations where the use of ‘Point taken’ may be useful to you, even though such situations may never actually occur. Also, ‘Point taken’ may be used just as part of an idea, and may not have an actual identity of a conversation.

Face value:

This ‘sound byte’ reference according to Amazon Video is located 11 minutes and 8 seconds into episode 3.1 ‘Laws of Nature’ from series ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.(2015)’. Here’s a quote:

Phil Coulson(Clark Gregg):-‘I’ll take it to her myself. I wouldn’t want you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.(Keep in mind that tv show ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ is science fiction. This is the moment when Coulson takes off his robot hand.)

Lance Hunter(Nick Blood):-‘Yea, I know that sarcasm, and I’m choosing to accept your thoughtfulness at face value.’

Basically, as a recommended evaluation to use, when a person portrays something, let’s say in a conversation, those singular portrayals are not the only portrayals involved in that person’s livelihood. In the ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ example, Coulson presented to Hunter 2 obvious portrayal examples. One of the portrayals is identified by his actual words:-‘I wouldn’t want you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.’, and the other portrayal was when Coulson removed his robot hand, a portrayal that I am guessing is designed to give Hunter a comparison to Hunter’s use of reservation. Hunter identified the removal of Coulson’s robot arm example as sarcasm, and chose to give ‘face value’ credibility to the actual words that Coulson said to him, and that Hunter interprets Coulson’s words as being thoughtful.

So, why is ‘face value’ important? It’s just another idea to help you make more ideas. You may also use it for added clarification when you consider talking to certain people. For example, certain portrayals that you may notice people presenting, maybe those portrayals shouldn’t be used in the context of certain actively used circumstances. After all, even though I am assuming most people have private lives, you still use the same body and brain to exist in those private lives, and your body (and use of brain) are still presented to other people, for both public and private circumstances. In other words, even though I may see many people going to work in a public transportation area, those many people also have private lives that is none of my business to comment on, even though they are using the same bodies as they publicly go to work for their private lives! To avoid some ambiguity, there’s that movie ‘New in Town(2009)’, the reasons why Lucy Hill(Renee Zellweger) was leaving Minnesota crying. Some of the townspeople were clearly embittering how Lucy Hill interpreted the portrayals presented to her by the townpeople that wanted her to leave. In other words, certain portrayals presented to Lucy Hill were designed to cause Lucy HIll to leave town, and the reasons Lucy Hill eventually chose to stay is an example that people are more than just the portrayals they present. However, it is the initial ‘face value’ of certain townspeople in the beginnings of the movie that did cause Lucy Hill to leave town crying. I hope that ‘New in Town’ explanation was helpful.

Resistance:

For the use of sound byte ‘Resistance’, it is my belief that the actual words that I type in are what kids are using to be skeptical with. If that is true for you, then I recommend you have 2 forms of skepticism to use, 1 for what I type in now, and 1 that takes into consideration the next list I type in. Of course, you don’t have to do that. I’m not asking you to compromise anything. It’s just that the use of ‘resistance’ as a concept will be addressed better in the next list. Right now, I’m just giving you 2 examples of ‘Resistance’ that you may find useful.

The 1st example comes from movies ‘Superman II(1980)’ and ‘Superman III(1983)’, starring Christopher Reeve as Superman. Basically, you’re imagining looking at Superman blocking a white beam of energy with his right hand. When you see Superman, his right arm is outstretched. You can also clearly see that letter ‘S’ on his shirt, and as the brightness of the white light from the beam gradually expands, like way a dimmer light switch controls the brightness of a white light bulb, you see Superman’s face show his teeth as he is resisting the energy beam. The white energy beam is coming from the left to the right according to your vantage point as Superman is using his right hand to ‘resist’ the beam coming from the left. Superman’s arm is outstretched as he is blocking the beam. [Of course, the examples will help clarify how that looks. According to Amazon Video, the rental of ‘Superman II’ shows the reference at 1 hour, 48 minutes, and 12 seconds, when General Zod(Terence Stamp) said quote-‘We must combine our strength!’. Soon after saying that, that’s when Zod, Ursa(Sarah Douglas), and Non(Jack O’Halloran) were at the same time zapping a beam of white energy at Superman. When that was happening, Superman’s right arm was outstretched as he was using his right hand to ‘resist’ 3 white energy beams at the same time. [The 2nd example, according to Amazon Video, starts 1 hour, 50 minutes, and 35 seconds into movie rental ‘Superman III(1983)’, when Superman(Christopher Reeve) again blocks a beam of energy using his outstretched right arm and right hand.

So, here’s a question for sound byte ‘Resistance’: ‘Why should I imagine Superman blocking a beam of energy?’ If you choose to, you may find that, while making certain ideas, a sense of resistance may be useful to you, so what you may choose to do is imagine Superman blocking a beam of energy. You may choose a portrayal of Superman from actor Christopher Reeve from the movie, or you can choose another actor. I recommend actor Henry Cavill, who portrays Superman in movie ‘Man of Steel(2013)’. Since there are a lot of convenient illustrations of Cavill portraying Superman in that movie, it should be easy for you to imagine Mr. Cavill’s portrayal of Superman blocking the energy beam.

For the sake of variety, I offer you a 2nd illustrated example of ‘Resistance’. This example is based not just on movies, but also on certain specific participations the actor has in real life. Refurbished with inapproprieities removed for advice, of course, the illustrated example is Conan from movies ‘Conan the Barbarian(1982)’ and ‘Conan the Destroyer(1984)’, the main character Conan portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, participating in ‘tug of war’ with 4 or 5 people from your job. According to web site wikipedia.com, ‘tug of war’ is a sport that directly puts two or more teams against each other in a test of strength: teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team’s pull. In the web site, there are several pictures of people playing ‘tug of war’. The reason I chose Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan is also because, according to wikipedia, Schwarzenegger was a popular bodybuilder(for example, his movie ‘Pumping Iron(1977)’, and he was Governor of California. So, if you put those 3 things together, you may get a convenient Conan to imagine participating in ‘tug of war’ with several workers from your job. When I do it, from my vantage point, I see Conan to the left pulling the rope, and from the right side of the rope, 4 or so people wearing suits, a mix of men and women, are pulling the rope. Since Conan is a human being, as compared to Superman, when you zoom in on him, you can imagine seeing his muscles strain as he pulls on the rope, and if you choose to, you can hear him groan, from the resistance he is using pulling that rope. He is also sweating.

Since this may be the 1st time you have used such ideas, before you judge it now, I recommend you reserve a more serious judgement of the use of these 2 ‘Resistance’ ideas until you are actually in a situation that you may choose to believe that such ideas are useful for you to use, or maybe even needed for you to use. When that happens, then you may notice more how Superman blocking a beam or Conan pulling a rope may be useful to you. For example, if you are an adult at work, there may be moments where 2 such men used as a ‘sound byte’ may prove useful for you to imagine, within reason, of course. [Of course, I also try to take into consideration kids reading these ideas. The ‘Superman’ idea should be easy enough to imagine. As for the ‘Conan’ idea, well, it’s just that the ‘Conan’ idea takes into consideration employment situations. Said to the kids, so to speak, if you had such a job, and if you were an adult, you would probably understand. If it’s any consolation(comfort, solace), I am an adult, and I use the ‘Superman’ example more. [I forgot to mention that both the ‘Superman’ and ‘Conan’ examples are conceptualizations of resistance that are supposed to be in your favor. You can, of course, change that default use, within reason, if you choose to.

Layered evaluations:

Based on what I have already typed in, for example, I explained ‘Shuffling bookmarks’ in a previous list in this blog called ‘The beginnings of bookmark use’. If you are using bookmarks, and this is just an example, not that you are actually doing this, according to ‘Shuffling bookmarks’, you would take a bunch of phrases and you would ‘shuffle’ them contemplationally, so that you would only need to use just one phrase, one bookmark, to use for a specific experience of instigation. If you started off with 10 phrases, for example, after you have shuffled them, you would no longer need to use any of those phrases as a direct bookmark to reference, since you know what all of those 10 phrases are. After you have shuffled them to make yourself familiar to them, you can then choose a phrase that can, let’s say, identify the brunt of the instigation that is bothering you, and lessen it’s effect with it. That is just one example.

After shuffling bookmarks for a while, now and then, perhaps only a few times a month, you may encounter an instigation that, even though you also shuffle bookmarks, the instigation may still require for you to identify certain particulars of that instigation using separate evaluations. I call such a situation ‘Layered evaluations’. For example, you may experience an instigation that requires several separate evaluations that are consecutive to each other, like you are describing the different stages of a project. Like I said, you may encounter such an instigation only a few times a month, if you experience any instigation at all.

Now, there are 3 basic examples that I use to help me interpret layered evaluations, each example may offer you a unique perspective to help you interpret such evaluations. If memory serves, the 1st one that I started to use, according to Amazon Video, starts 1 hour, 35 minutes, and  4 seconds near end of movie ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan(1982)’, when the Enterprise is escaping the explosion caused by Khan(Ricardo Montalban). As the Enterprise is escaping the explosion, you see the impression of rings following the Enterprise. I refurbished that scene and used the rings as representations for different layered evaluations. The 1st ring is the 1st layer, the 2nd ring is the 2nd layer, the 3rd ring is the 3rd layer.

The 2nd example, according to Amazon Video, is located 33 minutes and 20 seconds into movie ‘Escape from the Planet of the Apes(1971)’, when Dr. Otto Hasslein(Eric Braeden) starts to explain how ‘infinite regression’ works. I’m only using the illustration of a picture within a picture within a picture part of the explanation. Technically, refubished for advice, you simply select a limited amount of pictures within a picture, let’s say you select 4 pictures. After you have done that, each ‘picture’ that you have pre-selected can be used as a reference for a layered evaluation. As Dr. Hasslein is explaining ‘infinite regression’, there is an illustrated example in the movie where there is only 4 pictures in the illustration, making it easy for you to use the movie reference.

The 3rd example is from the illustrations of Russian nesting dolls. According to www.wikipedia.com, Russian nesting dolls, also called ‘Matryoshka dolls’ according to wikipedia.com, refers to a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. There are illustrations of Russian nesting dolls in web site wikipedia.com. Although the primary reference, if memory serves, is located in one of those earlier ‘Nikita(2010)’ episodes starring Maggie Q as Nikita, I could not find which specific episode where the nesting dolls were illustrated. I used search engine google.com, but I still could not find it. Therefore, the only example I can offer you for this advice that has a Russian nesting doll reference, according to Amazon Video, starts 13 minutes and 36 seconds into movie ‘The Watch(2012)’, when Bob(Vince Vaughn) is discovering for the 1st time what a Russian nesting doll is. Bob illustrates that there is a smaller doll within a bigger doll, and so on and so forth. Of course, you only use that reference with Bob discovering the nesting dolls, that reference is refurbished for advice, and you ‘throw away’ the rest of the movie.(I was hoping that I could offer you the ‘Nikita’ reference, because of it’s cool, serious ambiance. Instead, you have just the comedy illustration of what a Russian nesting doll is. My apologies). [So, how do you use a Russian nesting doll for layered evaluations? One example is that you imagine using the 1st nesting doll, let’s say that’s the biggest nesting doll, as the 1st layered evaluation reference. The 2nd nesting doll, the smaller doll inside the larger one, is the 2nd layered evaluation reference, and so on. The Russian nesting doll example is probably easy enough to imagine, especially with the help of Bob from movie ‘The Watch’. So, for example, if you experience an instigation that has 3 layers of evaluation, you can call that ‘3 nesting dolls’.
