(welcome) (to) (the Wakefield Doctrine) ( of course! )

Warning! Warnung!! Warnette!!!

18+ (Adults)

only
11 PM – 6 AM

one-sided display of the joys of adult life without showing responsibilities, (e.g. work), social justification of violent behavior, excessive vulgarity, use of racial slurs and social stereotypes, explicit sexual content, praise of aggression or vulgarity

We are inspired by the efforts of Ms. AKH, effforts that result in more and more people coming to this here blog, here and reading about our ‘theory of personality’. Every effort will be made to make the time you spend here as enjoyable, beneficial and profitable as possible. We have a lot to cover in the 2:05 minutes that you will spend here if you are a new visitor, so we had better hook you right now:

If you read and understand this blog you will have a better life, starting this afternoon. No bullshit, no lies, no guarantees.

Still with us? Good! Lets just get to the Whys and Whats and Are you Sure(s).

The Wakefield Doctrine has 3 personality type categories: clarks, scotts and rogers. You are mostly one (of these 3) but you still have the other 2 in background.
…and when we say personality types? what we mean is, “What kind of world do you walk out to every morning”? Because this Doctrine is not about your likes and dislikes, favorite colors or foods, interests, hobbies, avocation or inspiration. It is about the nature of your reality.

Yes, you read that right. Reality. Each of the three types of personality in the Wakefield Doctrine experience a different reality. Nothing weird or earth-shakingly different. No crystals or herbs or inner vibrations required either. Just this:

clarks exist (in the world) as the perennial outsider. They are normal in every other respect, it’s just that they know that they don’t belong, they are not like other people. But, at the same time clarks are the quiet, creative, funny (except you have to really pay attention or you’ll miss their jokes), self-deprecating, hardworking people that are there all around you all this time;
scotts are so in your life (and you will get this description only if you are not a scott) but they are the natural leaders, natural salespeople, natural entertainers… you getting the theme here with this personality type? natural. scotts are the people who live life by the moment without restraint, consideration, forethought, it’s a wonder they live as long as they do
rogers (you know who you are, and right now you are denying it) rogers are the everyday, friendly, easy to talk to people that populate every workplace and classroom and corner bar. rogers will be the person you turn to when you have a secret and rogers will be the one you turn to when you want to learn the latest gossip, they are the engineers, the lawyers, the doctors and heart and soul of every PTA and neighborhood watch program in the world.

The Doctrine is different from all the other mainstream and respectable personality and self-improvement systems out there because we insist that it is not just you, it is the world itself that accounts for your life, it’s trials and tribulations, good times, bad times (we know you’ve had your share).
What sets us apart and the reason you should spend time here, is that the Wakefield Doctrine offers everyone a set of tools that is specifically meant for not only your personality type, but (these tools) are meant to work and be useful in the world that you are living in today!

We do not say, “Hey! Come read this, listen to us and you will be able to get rid of bad habits and change the parts of your personality that you really hate”! No, we do not say that.
We say:
“…if you are looking for something to help you be happier than you are or a way to understand the other people in your life better or you just want to have more fun, and you have tried everything you can think of, then maybe the problem is not in your head, maybe the problem is in the world that you wake up to every day. The Wakefield Doctrine offers tools to change how you experience the world each and every damn day”.

Glad you could stop by. Hey, if you are liking the Doctrine, but need a little break go on over to the girl who knew too much or that scottian one or even the roe ger’s blog. They be given you some comfort. Or if you are feeling especially rogerian, go on over to our little page on ‘the Facebook, that will provide you the proof that this Doctrine thing actually works.

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Lets be realistic. You, me and you over there, and the guy from frickin Ukraine, we all get a kick out of clickin on the ‘Doctrine and seeing some photos that (at first) seem reasonable, then suddenly makes you laugh. And you, and that new person from Mel’s home State ( “Michigan …the one with the really cool-looking Lake“) and a couple of ‘people’ from some country I didn’t know even existed ( Norrkoping Ostergotlands, Lan??! ) drop by once a week or so to read a few Posts, I guess. I don’t really know. Now, at this point, we usually say something about how fuckin grateful we are that you come to our little blog and how hard everyone here works at keepin this thing going… but you already knew that. And that is most likely our problem. predictability. A Rut. Same ole, Same ole. Hey! we’re the Wakefield Doctrine, listen to us talk about our little club…yeah, listen to us….this is a printed medium, you are no more listening to an actual conversation than you would be if you mailed a frickin questionnaire to you friends that read: “At tomorrow’s party please have answers prepared for the following questions”. Listen in…no that is not true. And it is our fault.

For all of what we claim, the Wakefield Doctrine being a “unique and productive insight into the personalities of the people in our lives…” blah…blah…hey glenn! aren’t you supposed to find something really offensive to say here?…oh! “DS#1″ go for the ‘I am so quiet and precocious…don’t you see how underestimated I am?”….
hell! even this little rant…fuckin go back to the Fall of 2 frickin 09 and you will see this same damn thing in the first 3 Posts that you come across…

Clearly this thing of ours is getting too comfortable. And as glenn says, ‘hey you gotta make ‘em squirm, you’ve lost your edge’….(hey, glenn? speaking of losing your edge, you want a bottle of seltzer and a cream pie to go with your schtick? they’ll love it, it’ll be soo retro…don’t worry…you’ll still be out-fuckin-rageous/ I can’t believe he actually said that, man that guy is crazy…)

Whatever.

So here’s the deal.

We keep producing these Posts so you can listen to songs that you forgot you liked and you tell someone about this site. Today. Right now. Anyone. Does not matter. The girl in the cubicle next to yours. Your secretary or your supervisor. Your suite mate at your dorm or your lab partner in biology class. Your damn sister, if that’s all you got. And you say this:

“Hey I found this blog. They said I have to tell one other person to go and see it. Their url is http://wakefielddoctrine.com Go there and visit the site.”

Now, the stupider ones among you are thinking, ‘yeah well how are they gonna know I did that’. Hey Reader, look to the right edge of this window. See that section titled: Live Traffic Feed? Says Wyoming and New Symrna Beach? What do you think that means?

We’ll know.

Now get goin. Maybe we’ll be here when you get back.

The Wakefield Doctrine is predicated upon the idea that everyone experiences the world/reality differently, from one of three overlapping but distinctive perspectives. It also proposes that our personalities are but a result of our perception, of our habitual responses to the world. The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that this characteristic perception of reality can be grouped into three distinct types, called for reasons stated elsewhere, clarks, scotts and rogers.

Born with the potential to view the world in one of these three ways, all people possess the characteristics of all (three) but soon (by age 7 or so) ‘become one of the three. Put another way: we also possess the potential to see the world as a clark or a scott or a roger. It is only the predominance of qualities from one (over the other two) that makes us what we are. No one is only clarklike or scottian or rogerian.

The value of the Wakefield Doctrine is that once you can see the world ‘through the eyes’ of another, behavior becomes understandable. If a scott sees the world as a predator (would) then all action is predicated on interacting with the world as a predator. This is distinctly different from a roger, who seeing the world as a social being, predicates action and reaction on the basis of a world in which the interactions of the herd is the dominant theme.

Yeah…sure, why the hell not.

you would think this would get easier, but nooo

‘ello.
Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers).
If you are new to our site, the “About” is probably the best place to start. If you are still reading after that, you possess the qualities that mean you will no doubt enjoy the Posts. There is no “order” to the Posts other than chronological and mood swings, but you would get that pretty much right away. The Archives pull-down is a useful way to get a sense of what we are trying to do here.
And don’t ignore the “Pages” in the Table of Contents! These are parts of the blog that have not received much attention from us in a while, were originaly intended to be the ‘reference resource’ for the whole thing, but all the effort seems to have gone into these Posts. Whatever. The information, in the form of definition and examples of the three types of personality, is all to be found in the Pages. Includes pictures of clarks, scotts and rogers.

The Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, fun and productive way to look at the behavior of others, with this “Doctrine” or “theory” you will finally understand why the people in your life behave the way that they do. (This pre-supposes that you do not know why they behave the way that they do and, further, pre-pre-supposes that you feel the need to understand why they behave the way that they do.) All of the stuff in the parentheses here, if applicable, makes you a clark. If you neither care about understanding or just skimmed over this whole section, then you are a roger or a scott “respectively”.

Otherwise, the people who come here to read, appear to like the videos (music and otherwise) and also enjoy reading about the lives of the students at Millard Fillmore High. You will also see reference to those we call, Friends of the Doctrine, blog writers extraordinaires.
Finally, there will be Comments, following interesting Posts that offer insight into the Doctrine as well as offering helpful perspectives on the whole thing.
Sometimes.

(We also try to do a Lesson of the Day which is an illustration or application of the Doctrine that helps the Reader see the clarks, scotts and rogers in their own lives.)

Well then, that should bring you up to speed. The rest you will catch on to long before you get bored and leave.
Hat! Damn! Almost forgot to tell you about the hats (for your damn head). We have Wakefield Doctrine hats (see the Fashion Center ) they are wonderful and (sometimes) we just give them away. Most of the DownSprings have hats (for their damn heads) as do most Friends of the Doctrine. I recommend you write a Comment and ask for one. We probably would mail one to you for almost no cost.*

So read, listen and watch the videos and write us a Comment. Most likely we will print the Comment.

This being Sunday (in our location, not necessarily our Marshall Island friends…) Let’s close with some Sunday music…as regular Readers know, we huge fans of modern gospel in general and Fred Hammond in particular…

Oh, yeah! Lesson of the Day…damn near forgot…not so much a lesson as a Test. (alright a Quiz)… (if you insist, a quizlet…but a tough question)…

You just watched Fred…is Fred a clark, scott or roger? Tell us and you must support your answer…(you could guess and 1/3 of the time you would be right…sort of ….) but you must give your reason, support your answer…this is ‘open book’, so go look at a bunch of Fred vids…the answer is there.

The reward for a correct answer? A hat (for your damn head) of course! But seeing that this is such a tough question, this little contestlet is open to Progenitors and DownSprings…

alright…one more video…dinosaur related…

* there is a cost…did you really think it would be totally free? jeez what are you, a frickin clark?…anyway the “cost” of the “free” hats (for your “damn” heads) is that when you receive said hat you must take a photo of the hat in front of an identifiable landmark; proof of the hat being in whatever part of the world it was mailed to…(for the clarks)…a head underneath said hat is totally optional. We really only care about where in the world the hat is…the supporting “human”, not so much.

catchy/intriguing subtitle goes, here

June 2, 2010 By clarkscottroger 6 Comments

We have been on a run of ‘practical’ Posts for the last few days, let’s see if we can keep it going. ( …oh boy!…I’ll go hold the door…no sense having people getting hit on their way out… ).
Yes, I am apparently going to use the ‘virtual high school student’ device today, any of you have a problem with that? No one is making you read this and you have no opinion as evidenced by the nearly pristine Comments section below, so shut your pieholes.
I will write us a fairly short Post today, all I need to do is make it until June 26, 2010. And, no I am not going to do the pseudo-mysterious, “what could be the significance of that date”? kind of obvious schtick. Genuinely not caring this am. It is the day of the first Post of this thing, this Wakefield Doctrine. All of you are (just about), (let’s make that ‘…22 days short of…’) 12 months closer to being dead. As in dying. As in your life span is decreasing at a steady and reliable rate of 24 hours every day.
(Hey try this little mind game that clarks have all used, think back to a June day in 1990. What were you doing? Do you remember how you felt, the plans you had for the future? I mean the real, long term, ‘well-we-don’t-have-to-do-anything-today-about-it’ plans. You know the kind of plans you discussed with friends after coming home from your job (the one that was not really your real job), you talked about what you would be doing soon… ok so there you are/were and here you are today…Wednesday June 2, 2010 a whole new decade in a whole new century. Did you think you would be here/now/doing this? And if you can, now imagine sitting here…10 years from now…(this is the clarklike part, hey! someone call the scotts back and tell the rogers they can open their eyes now). All done.

What’s the deal with Robert Deniro being such a clark? (For the record, with actors and performers it must be taken into consideration that the character being portrayed is just that, a character. But when the same character (in the Doctrine sense of the word) comes back again and again, sorry folks, gotta call it as I see it. DeNiro in Taxi Driver:

And just in case you are new (to the Doctrine) or a little on the dense side…here is a another ‘side-by-side’ with a clark and a scott:

That should do for today, seeing ‘the look’ come over most of your faces. Time to wrap this Post up and toss the kibble to the scotts and let you get on with your “day” (remember…”one day closer to…” as Mr Floyd be sayin).

The Wakefield Doctrine lesson. Real damn simple, Deniro is a clark. Not only that, but he totally demonstrates/illustrates what it is to be a clark (in the Taxi Driver clip). Jesus Christ people, he is rehearsing being crazy. Does anyone of you Readers know why (and can effectively express why) this proves that clarks are dominant over scotts and rogers? ( …me! I know!! I know!!… )
Sorry Miss Sullivan, these “Readers” have to step up at some point in the process. The information is here, the lesson is here, the secret of the damn universe is here. You can lead clarks, scotts and rogers to water but… ( …but the clarks will look around for a trap and not want to appear to be thirsty, the scotts will claim it and use it to trade for sexual favors and food and the rogers will create organised religion! lol!!!… )
Very good, Janie you have provided these silent schmoos with the correct answer.

Alright. Mr. B, if you will?

err, Meester hanitor, Meester hanitor I theenk that las song she over 10 minutes long…those poor, poor scotts…dey started chasing their tales at about 1:55 into the song. watcho got for dem? something bouncy eh?

…a little tough to see, but audio not bad…wtf I go to all this trouble to bloglift ( clark-coined 2010), a video and the least they can do is provide better production values…I don’t know why I bother sometimes…
