(Hey isn’t that the second time in the last 2 weeks we have seen a total religious photos for the ‘anchor shot’, they don’t be gettin freaky on us down at the Doctrine, are they?)

Good morning/afternoon/evening, glad you could stop by the Wakefield Doctrine today. Nothing special for today, still feeling around for the ‘style’ of presentation, playing with the new theme, seeing what can be done with the new fonts set and other tools Matt down at WP Help  has set up for us.  The  Progenitors and DownSprings are getting active, a number of projects started, others being finished up, we should see some interesting stuff  in the coming weeks.  The new theme with it’s ‘Lead Story’, and other magazine inspired layout features has been a lot of fun, am just starting to scratch the surface of the things that can be done with it.

***Any Readers who have skills at setting up/layout/production/display with these blogs and also a deep and abiding love for the Wakefield Doctrine are encouraged to contact us here (there is a Contact button on the right of the front page for e mail.) No pay, of course, but you would have my gratitude and I would not doubt arrange for you to get a hat (for your damn head) and other fashion items.  I write most of these Posts and I read lots and lots of other blogs and realize I am only barely scratching the upper level of the top of the surface in terms of effective presentation. So give me an ee and I will follow-up. (Of course, you need to want the Doctrine grow and flourish, but there will not be a test on your understanding on the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers.)***

The subject of today’s Post is: Economic Security and clarks, scotts and rogers. 
Not an un-timely topic, given the conditions out there in the world today, but as with everything relating to the Doctrine, the ‘world out there’ aspect is not the primary issue.  Rather, it is how you experience/perceive the world that the Wakefield Doctrine is concerned with; the conditions that exist, (in this case) unemployment rates, consumer confidence, cost of living,  do not concern us.  What does is whether you are a clark, scott or roger. It goes like this:
scotts are the least bothered/affected/concerned with economic conditions.  This is because they exist in a fundamentally hostile world, one of predator/prey. A scott does not worry about the future and so has the least of the ‘oh my god what will become of us..’ thinking, they are focused on today, here and now. 
rogers are bothered/affected/concerned with economic condition, but in a more general sense.  Being social/herd/group orientated (to use the rogerian term), rogers react to what they are told is the condition of the society/culture as a whole, as a group.  Of the three, rogers are the ones who watch the TV news because that information is always presented in terms of how conditions are for the group/most people/the herd.  A roger is focused on the past and they will have almot no emotional reaction to conditions in the future  (If some one starts a story,  “when I was…”, you are listening to a roger).
clarks.  Why even bother asking? (Never mind the economic conditions), a clark  is and can be worried about everything.  It is the nature of clarks, believing in the intrinsic value of knowledge as they do, to be able and willing to believe anything.  clarks take ‘being open-minded’ to a near pathological level.  They can believe anything because they do not believe in anything.
Here is the difference:
What makes rogers so ‘established’ and solid, is they have faith in the world as they know it.  rogers do not realize they have faith, they simply exist in a world that is a given and therefore not even subject to question.
Scotts, don’t bother with stuff like that.  They sleep, eat, defecate, fornicate and sleep.  A very ‘here and now’ existence.  But as do rogers, scotts do not think, ‘hey this is cool, I don’t need to worry about the future’.  They just live and act.
clarks do not have that luxury.  clarks know that there is no limit to knowledge, they know that they must acquire as much knowledge as possible and they know they never will.  clarks know that the future has possibility but they know that there is no reliability to the future.  They can believe in anything, they don’t believe in anything.
Worry about economic conditions?
We have Winner! Hands down, no runner up, by a total fuckin landslide, we have a Winner! The most likely of the three to worry about, be concerned with in a negative, non-productive way see the future and not like it…lets hear it for the clarks!!!

Oh-kay!  That was a little…er maybe someone needs to get a(nother) hobby…is there a Writer in the audience?…oh my god! my Narrator!! what have you done to my Narrator!! someone please do something!!! Don’t just sit there!!… at your computer desks, trying to pay bills…waiting for the spouse to get out of the shower…do something!!

You know, I gots to credit a scott for one of the more recent revelations about the Doctrine…what he helped elucidate was that the obstacle of one type (clark, scott or roger) writing these Posts to be read by the other two (clark, scott or roger) is not insurmountable…all that was necessary was for the Writer to understand that each of the three respond to a different cue…clarks to insight based on superior understanding, scotts on dominance expressed as overwhelmingly obvious skill in execution and rogers  being presented with an emotional component that is un-definably part of a larger herd.
thanks glenn (he did not, of course express it that way…driving through Wakefield one night it was more a matter of:  “fuck that!! HEY!! ya wrong…we will kill you…ok…I see”), the Wakefield Doctrine thanks you for your work in furthering the understanding and application of this thing of ours.

Whew!! (are we done for today, yet?) (god, I hope so…)

Being a totally beneficent Narrator, I will reward glenn first and then give the rest of us a video we will enjoy…
