Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ).
So after hearing so much about rogers (in general) and the Progenitor roger ( in speciality*) this week’s Video Friday we hear directly from the Progenitor!
We did as close a version of the interview that we did with DownSpring glenn and it turned out pretty good! ( From a Wakefield Doctrine point of view) we learn a great deal about the rogerian perspective in our little movie-ette. (Remind me to explain the astroid on the parenthesis above a little later on.)
About clarkscottroger
Not bad for a roger. He sounds all folksy and friendly–approachable–mild–likeable..all the rogerian traits. Just like his writing. I remember learning somewhere that good writing should sound like talking. His does. His immediate reference to the history, the tradition..march of time–such a roger! But that’s what jumps out of the background for those people. So, they share it in the foreground. Rogers make good daytime talk show hosts. Nothing raucous. No shocking of sensibilities..just pleasant..nice ..kinda tasty–especially when they’re scared. Meat gets all full of adrenaline. Another thing I note from the interview—When I talk about the doctrine–I always say it was invented by Clark. It’s HIS. Roger describes it–and sees it–as a shared group creation.Clark didn’t do it–WE did it. It was and always will be a community (communal) thing. I think scotts are capitalists–rogers are socialists–I think. I dunno. I just noticed that difference. Any way, in conclusion, let me say “CENSORED NAUGHTY WORD!!!!”
…thanks, little buddy…(here, let me get that for you…) FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad you highlighted the fact that when I asked Roger the same question I asked you ( ‘How do you tell a person about the Doctrine‘) his answer was totally rogerian!
(Readers should now go back and listen to last week’s interview with DownSpring glenn for a illustration of the scottian answer to this question.)
It has of late been my concern that to present a concise and comprehensive explanation of the Wakefield Doctrine and the benefits it offers us, is of paramount importance. (‘step away from the keyboard, clark…go outside, chase a car, drive a car, flirt with a stranger, pick a fight, play baseball’)
These Video Post Interviews will serve as illustrations of the validity of this thing of ours.
(No scotts or rogers were injured in the course of the filming of these Video Posts. Slight ego-bruising, off-putting, sensibility smothering, loss of appetite, diminished libido may have occurred. For Readers experiencing interest in the Wakefield Doctrine for longer than 4 hours, immediately write a Comment to this Post.)
If the use of The Wakefield Doctrine produces an erection lasting more than 4 hours–tell your doctor immediately. (Fuck that! If I get a 4 hour boner, I’m telling EVERYBODY!!)
…bah rum bbump
lmao Wouldn’t want to pass out would ya Glenn? You’d miss all of the fun. But i digress. This is, after all, the Wakefield Doctrine. (uh ho there he’s goes again…)
In all seriousness it was quite interesting hearing what the WD means and it’s usefulness from two perceptions. That being said, for our new readers that (our perception of reality) is the crux of what distinguishes us and the premise of the Doctrine.
Listen to the previous video (June 17 – #7.) You will hear the scottian (Glenn‘s) interpretation of the Wakefield Doctrine. Listen closely (but not too close if you want to keep your ear and hearing in tact). The energy is completely different from that of Roger. There is an intensity. A sense of urgency. Glenn refers to the advantage of knowing what type (a clark, a scott or a roger) another person is and how that gives one the upper hand on how to better deal with that person and/or situation. So scottian. Control. Manipulation of the situation. Not necessarily in a bad way. But let’s face it, scotts are predators.
Roger, on the other hand, is calm and collected. Sitting in his wing chair, slippers on and smoking a pipe while he quietly discusses the value of the Doctrine. Listen to the words he uses. Gently. Background. Evolution. These 3 simple words are the epitome of rogers. Rogers are the sensitive ones. The emotional ones. They thrive on reiterating history. (you might want to make sure you have an hour or 3 to spare). And they are the ones who will create history for the generations of rogers to come.
There is one important aspect of both interpretations. The predictability factor. That is a major component of the Wakefield Doctrine. Seeing the world through the eyes of another and thereby being able to predict what a person will do in any given situation and understand why people act the way they.
These comments are nothing new to the Progenitors, DownSprings and friends of the Doctrine. They are meant for you. The new (and returning but never leaving a frickin’ comment) readers. If you listen to the videos again it will make sense to you. So get your asses back here, sit down, listen to the videos and leave a damn comment.
Hello. I’m curious, well I was at least initially, and am here to “Remind” you “to explain the astroid on the parenthesis above””
what asterix on which parenthesis above?
What?!! (knock, knock)
The first line beneath the video.
Of course!! the astrix that our little DownSpring so perceptively brings back to our attention is attached to the parenthetical ‘in specialty’ which in turn is paired with the construct: (example) in general and (example) specifically…in this case I used the term ‘in specialty’ which is, as Readers should note an attempt at a rogerian expression. (a not so good attempt at said expression)
So go read the ‘Page’ on rogers
A couple of things.
The Doctrine is all Clark. I was around for the infancy stages, but not taking any credit. ACAAT. ( ALL CLARK AT ALL TIMES).
In reading AKH above, I feel like a Pawtucket Red Sox guy who got brought up to Fenway, and is now batting and watching 138-mph fast balls go by. He’s pretty sure because he thinks he saw the air move, and then that thwock sound. And he blinks way too much. ” Creating history for generations of Rogers to come”…
Is it possible that Scotts and Clarks don’t even see themselves as part of history at all ? It’s a construct that is by/of/for Rogers only? Can you guys comment on that ?Wow…ja see that? 147 mph…
BTW…new diner/restaurant in Cranston opening soon…called ” Jeat?” Only in Rodilun.
( chew, grind) ( spit ) (scratch…pat…scratch) Yes, you are.
You people are the creators of History…in the most fundamental sense of the word.
There was not a concept of the thing we call history (or tradition or legacy) there was only the eat-run-sleep-reproduce-run of the scotts and the “what was that?” of the clarks.
We (clarks and scotts) can see oursleves as part of history only to the extent of knowing there is a game going on and if we run around the bases in the right direction, then things are better than they might otherwise be… ( to mangle your baseball metaphor).
Well…how about this? History is simply a chronologic timeline; no spin or inflections at all. All-inclusive, and entirely neutral of its own accord. No traditions or legacies. The spin came along somewhere along the way while we were all doing the run-sleep-eat thing. But why? We somehow had to apply a context to ourselves, and some presumed a perspective from inside the box (rogers) and some did the opposite ( C/S ) But why?
maybe ‘why’ is the wrong question…take it from the more practical and simple perspective of: ‘what good is it?’
(applied to this notion of the ‘invention’ of history)
From this we see that clarks, and scotts did not choose to ignore the (potential) that recording the time (pasge of) represented….instead it is simply that scotts do not need a record of time past (i.e history)…if they are still alive ( e, r and/or s) then that is all they need to know…clarks….well clarks don’t record and formalise time, they visit and (sometimes) move in…(for a clark, the past is as real as the present or the future, for that matter)…so we can say that rogers invented history because that is what they do…
how can you have tales of brave herd members if you don’t have a past….and besides…as we know ( ”cause the Doctrine tells us so’) rogers exist in a world that is quantifiable, measureable…you must have a formal hsitory in order to create the Power of your measurements…
(“…god made Adam, Adam made all the animals and fowls and everything in the werld”)
(am re-reading and re-considering the sentence that was made…)
” …History is simply a chronologic timeline; no spin or inflections at all. All-inclusive, and entirely neutral of its own accord. No traditions or legacies…
…somehow had to apply a context to ourselves, and some presumed a perspective from inside the box (rogers) and some did the opposite ( C/S ) But why?”
Without falling into the pointless trap of ‘well what do you mean by that word history’…lets agree on the use of the word ‘history’ as being the passage of time, for old to new, now until later….past-present-future (with no point in-between mucking up line of sight).
If we can get all evoluntionary on this here Wakefield Doctrine here, let me suggest that what we call people were originally just new model-year monkeys…smarter, faster, upright…in these earliest of time there were probably mostly scotts, masses of rogers and a handful of clarks (living in the under-brush like those fucked-up lemur things, big eyes and opposable thumbs).
Anyway, back to rogers…I will suggest that rogers came to be when more than 2 of the not-scotts and not-clarks people backed into each other when surrounded by a pack of scotts. Maybe by accident, maybe by instinct, but they did. The critical thing is one of them ( the Adam of rogers…he was the guy who remembered, Remembered the place where everyone stood backs to backs and the scotts did not chase them off as individuals).
To continue this prehistoric scenario, unlike the scottian apes in the movie ‘2001’, who discovered weapons and saw the thing (the leg bone thing) as the power, the roger saw the (physical) place where people stood for protection and remembered the place…not the people.
Thats how it began…
