Month: June 2010 | the Wakefield Doctrine

develop a thesis that goes beyond “Thing A and Thing B are similar in many ways but different in others.

June 30, 2010 By clarkscottroger

…and maybe even a damn Venn diagram. How cool would it be to have some of those rascals set into a Post…”…and further in conclusion, I submit the following Venn (damn) diagram, for the Board of Reviews consideration…” Yeah!

Hey, even though we are in summer school and most of the good (interesting) ‘voices’ here at the Wakefield Doctrine are out gallivanting around doing interesting things, doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun, sometimes. Almost eerie when you stop to think of it. It was without thought that we have read that all the ‘others’ have gone off on summeristic project, except for Jimmy (our scottian) friend of Janie Sullivan. And who do we hear from in the first of these Summer Session Posts, but DownSpring glenn! Talk about life imitating art, or art dressing up like life or some damn thing. At any rate all we seem to have is Mr. B and the occasional Postcard from the others.

But the Wakefield Doctrine is always open. So let’s make the best of our time here. Yesterday saw the beginning of a(n) argument centering on the difference between clarks and scotts. That is as good a place to start today as any. (You should go back to the Post and read the Comments) But to paraphrase; no…I best not paraphrase otherwise someone will insist that I took it out of context or inflectuated the meaning in the wrong way or did not understand the orientational spin, so instead here are some clips, with my second favorite grammar (nooo mf, those are grammatical devices…you’re welcome) thingies…ellipseseses

Seals and Croft. Seals went on… as a country singer. Croft went into some… religion thing … At concerts he would sometimes make anti-abortion speeches. Talk about being too serious to be entertaining. Same thing happened to Lenny Bruce…at the end…railing about how he was being denied his first amendment rights. Audiences wanted to hear him talk about “tits and asses”. They were not interested in all that serious shit. He went all rogerian on them. Left his (better) scottian self behind–and failed. Lessons there? Be who you are. Embrace it. Love it. Revel in it. Whatever you love about yourself, is…yourself. Whoever loves you, loves YOU. Not some new, “improved”, more sophisticated, added onto, you…Sub-lesson?–let others revel in who they are. Appreciate, enjoy, and marvel at how they move through the world. Different from how you do, but valid and functional nonetheless. To me, THAT is the utility of The Wakefield Doctrine.

I’m sorry, Clark…I’m sorry, Clark… I’m sorry, Clark…I’m sorry, Clark…I’m sorry, Clark…I’m sorry, Clark…I’m sorry, Clark.. Croft had success as a singer. He must have loved it. It was who he was. Then he got all wrapped up in how important his thoughts were–and bingo! His thoughts were no longer important. Same with Lenny Bruce. He must have loved being funny at one time. He was brilliant at it. Then he got to thinking of himself as IMPORTANT–and suddenly, he no longer was. Stubbornly refusing to live in the real world is decidedly UN-scottian. Both of these guys lost rank in the pack. They abandoned their true nature–and became—essentially—fucking nothing. A scott would not dream of doing that… You stay vitally tuned into the effect you’re having on others. Both of these guys got all wrapped up in their own alternative world. One died. The other lives in obscurity.

Now, does anyone have anything to add? Then…”allow me to retort”…(damn I will never get tired of that Samuel Jackson line in Pulp Fiction…in fact let’s hear the master do this thing)…

(lol) anyway…the above is useful in a “compare and contrast” sort of way. As a scott, glenn evaluates on the basis of ‘what it’, i.e. Lenny Bruce was funny, then not funny therefore the element of change spotted in closest proximity to being not funny is the false Lenny, everything and anything prior to it was the real Lenny.

But, of course, this is not about Lenny Bruce or Dan Croft or even about what is the nature of the relationship between the performer and audience. It is about how the scott (of clarks, scotts and rogers, theory of) perceive the world. Which actually is not quite the point…the real point being what kind of world/reality does the scott experience?
Afterall, the Wakefield Doctrine is founded on the proposition that we all have the potential to interact with the world in three distinctive ways, referred to as clarks, scotts and rogers. The Doctrine actually goes further than that, we are really saying that the scott exists in a reality best characterised as a world of predator/prey, black/white, here and now. The genius of the Wakefield Doctrine lies in the fact that if you accept this initial premise, i.e. that glenn, for example is experiencing a world of predator/prey and you put yourself in that (kind) of world yourself, your choices of actions/reactions will be essentially the same.

The Doctrine proposes that behavior follows (from) from the reality the individual experiences and not from some internal inclination to act a certain way, or learned behaviors mimic’d and modeled from family and friends at an early age. If you can imagine the kind of world glenn experiences, you will then know how he will respond to virtually any situation. Beautiful theory, isn’t it? (Thank you, thank you…no! please! sit down everyone please! sit down we are not done yet!)

(Hey!! HEY! what about the clarks‘ take on this? I read a whole lot of commentation yesterday).
Valid point. clarks will take the position that there is no certainty to reality, that there was a time when Dan Croft was an excellent performer. And then there was a time when Dan Croft was an excellent coptic abyssinian preacherman…both were Dan Croft at their finest. The only point of intersection of views (with glenn) was that as a preacher man he was not as good a Croft of Seals and Croft. He should have paid more attention to the audience. But here is where the tangle of perception between a clark and a scott gets interesting! glenn seems to maintain that Croft should have stayed true to his “Seals and Croft” nature, the one that glenn enjoyed listening to. He (glenn) seems to go on to say that only by staying true to that nature was he being true to himself that by changing he betrayed his audience.
I would submit that the change was, in fact, the truest expression of Croft’s scottian nature…he had a (new) message and that was who he was and therefore that was what he had a right to bring to the audience. And if the audience didn’t like it…..then fuck’em

Dudes!!! Complex topic calls for totally complex tunes…

the things we’ll do!!

June 29, 2010 By clarkscottroger

Thought I would start on an enthusiastic note. While it might not read as well as it sounds…the subtitle is meant to convey the level of excitment usually reserved for children anticipating an adventure that is still slightly off in the future… a Trip to a major theme park or a week at the beach for the first time. There is a unalloyed sense of confidence in the future (and being a child maybe that is the only time that is possible), anyway that is what today’s Post is about…the things that we* will do this year on these Pages and by extension in the real world.**

The strength of the Wakefield Doctrine lies in the fact that it accounts for the reality as it is experienced by all people. (Put a little less grandiostic) the Doctrine proposes that everyone of us experiences the world with one of three basic viewpoints. Unlike all the other ‘theories of personality’, the Doctrine says: understand the viewpoint*** (of an individual) is to understand their personality, not the other way around. (Better stop here and talk about ‘viewpoint of reality’. Here at the WD we use the term ‘viewpoint of reality’ to describe how an individual perceives their relationship with the world. Not only what they think they are, but what they think the nature of the world is, to a clark the world is a hostile world and they are the outsider; to a scott the world is one of predator and prey and to a roger the world is a world of emotional connection, a social and therefore non-hostile world). So where is the excited anticipation going to come from?

From the fact that if we understand that a scott is perceiving the world as one in which the most basic relationship is one of predator or prey then we know how they will act in any situation. If we know how they will act in any situation then we can choose how we act so as to influence the outcome (of our interaction)…

Did I mention that we are excited about the coming year? Did I fail to mention that the interesting people (here at the Doctrine) are, kind of, off on summer vacation?
I didn’t? Sure I really and distinctly recall reading a Postcard (in a Post) (ha) (ha)…not that funny? Ohkay….well Janie is off to Europe this Summer on a Wunderchilde Excursion of the Crowned Head of Europe…(her parents are rather well-to-do) But Jimmy is still here, summer school you know…something about a Substitute Teacher…the name escapes me…did a lecture at Mill Fill they hit it off right from the first meeting…well at least his grades suffered…(LTS) and Britney is on one of those outreach camps/enviro-eco-save-the-backward-child at the local university…no, she is in fact quite intelligent…our fault entirely not rising above cultural biases.

And the other ‘voices’ found here? Well… (the) roger has his own blog now…camptown rag…no…capetown breakdown…wait secessionist rag! yeah that’s it! some totally rogerian thing…blog with a a thing where you contribute to writing a novel…set number of words in joint effort…a compensatory project to use a rogerian expression. So his time is being spent over there…yeah he does have a certain gift at comfortable friendly words…after words…followed by…anyway not seeing too much of him here at the Doctrine, at least until he gets it out of his system…what? Diana Ross?…lol not such a good analogy, lol… but his link is here: the roger

DownSpring glenn? yeah, you’re right, he is coming along…much less of the “look at me”!! “I can shock you”!! showing evidence of producing some actually interesting observation and Comment…yeah we have high hopes that this Summer he will step up… I think that (his contributions to the Doctrine) is where the concept of director/producer/editor came from…some people can only send out…limited in the ability to reflect back from the audience, to modify their message accordingly…but I really believe that he will show us a side that is worth the effort to bring out…yeah once you get past the scottian HEY! HEY! HEY! that is lol…good idea I should do a Post on “what’s up with those scotts” (as seen in DownSpring glenns “style”)…Hey why wait? Here it is in a nutshell: scotts live in a reality best defined as predator/prey, their (social) organisation is that of the pack, dogs and wolfs serve as the best example of the scottian society. They must always test their environment to determine who is a threat (dominant) and who is not (submissive). The thing we learned years ago about scotts is that this “ranking” among pack members is the most important thing to a scott. They must know, at all times, where they stand relative to others in their situation. The interesting thing, from a clark’s point of view, is that to be submissive to a dominant member of the pack has no negative connotation (for a scott). This is not how a clark or a even a roger would react, we would think, “submissive = less than, therefore undesirable”. Not so for scotts, it simply means, “this one dominant, this one submissive”. The important thing is to know where you stand in the pack.
And that brings us to the obnoxious behavior…it is simply a way to challenge the other members of the pack to see who is dominant and who is submissive…very simple, almost elegant…but has no place in these pages…other than to serve as a vehicle to understanding the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers.

DownSpring#1? now there will be an opportunity to see if this Doctrine has any…efficacy, any use any real…”hey I got to alter what type I am…right now…and while we are at it…how do I interact with these scotts and rogers so that I come out of it where I really want to be”?…you know clark stuff…
Ms AKH she be in da house!, she will never let us down…taking a little rest but when you look back at the year…she had the stuff…a pleasing/exciting combination of wildwoman scottian enthusiasms tempered (yeah, right! tempered…ya want to try for ‘barely restrained’ lol) with a thoughtful effort to reach out to the Readers, the spirit of trying out the unknown, the scottian equivalent of “hey fresh kill, lets just freeze some of that for next winter“, sure…unlike certain other scottian Downsprings
Not to forget Joanne…who will surely bail us out this Summer with a questionaire that will have you muttering to yourself, “Oh man! they’re right! I am a clark and my spouse! jeez how could they have known?…where are those cameras, nobody knows that when they do that thing, I almost always came back with…no way they could know…I better buy a hat!”

So, maybe it will not be such a boring Summer. Will try to keep from total pendantriosity…or not…let’s get out for today though…

welcome to the first Post of the rest of the Second year

June 28, 2010 By clarkscottroger

Yeah, well no one said that these things have to make sense.

I have chosen to write another Post, not the smallest part of that decision is that (possibly an inbred characteristic of the ego of an individual of the maleular persuasion in the current culture) I don’t want to “break the streak”. But for today we are throwing away excessive reflection and just, in the words of a cultural icon, “goin for it”.

The Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is a unique, productive and fun way to see the behavior of others and by doing so, understand why people do the things they do. Fine. It is a tool to be used in understanding the behavior of others. And it is a tool to understand ourselves. A very, very effective tool. And through understanding (ourselves) we can then change and enhance and improve what we do and how we do it and what we are and how we live our lives.

(That’s not too ambitious, is it?) No, no it is not.

Unfortunately (or not) two thirds of our little group totally do not see/understand/get/imagine/’yeah, even for the fun of it’/say what? the need to ‘change or improve’ themselves. And you know what? That’s fine.
No, that’s not just ‘fine’, that’s great! That scotts and rogers, while both curious and find the Doctrine fun and amusing do not see a need to use this thing of ours for the purpose of self-improvement serves as (further) validation of the whole thing.

Of course they don’t need to improve. (The Doctrine predicts that they would take that position). But…

Remember a few Posts (actually quite a few Posts) ago, where we talked about how everyone starts with the qualities of all three types and at some point, early on become predominantly one (over the other two)? Well, that’s not the point I am trying to make here. The point (I am trying to make here) is that anyone Reading and/or following this blog is a slightly (or not so slightly) mutated form of their own type. It takes a certain level of flexible curiosity, combined with a intellectual self-confidence to read and enjoy the concepts that comprise the Wakefield Doctrine.
So when DownSpring glenn insists that he has no interest in his clarklike or rogerian aspects and believes that he is only building up his scottian aspect, he is, to use a technical term….wrong.
I spoke to the Progenitor roger yesterday on the same topic and he agrees that he has no need to develope his scottian or clarklike potential, he knows there can be no gain to focusing on those two other facets to his being. (To his credit, he did accept that while what he said was true for ‘un-enlightened’ rogers, he recognised that he was not a normal roger).

My response was simple. By their responses both glenn and roger demonstrated that their clarklike/rogerian and scottian/clarklike aspects (respectively) are developing as a result of their involvement in the Wakefield Doctrine. And as further proof, how they both framed their arguments that they were not doing so only served to make the contrary point.

(What? I have to go to work? And act like a real person? wtf…damn…got to stop…there is something to be said about having a blog and there is something to be said about earning a living. It is a tribute and an indictment of the cost of having both while being a clark that I am trying to write these things and then go into a workplace that so does not find this kind of thinking a positive character trait.)

Let’s close the Post with the question (which if you have been following the Doctrine long enough, you know right now that it will not really be a question). What is the point, the practical value of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers? This question is framed to apply to those of you reading this thing and not to the general population of clarks, scotts and rogers. How does any of what you find here impact your life? Negatively or positively, either one. (at this point I would proceed to give the answer on behalf of everyone, but I really am out of time this morning)

Mister B? if you would find us some Monday morning appropriate music and if I can find a photo or two will/can wrap this thing up. What was that? Miss Sullivan is touring Europe this Summer? How nice…you have a Postcard…perhaps we need to talk about your interaction with the student body here at Mill Fill…

Ciao tutti! L’Italia è il nostro primo arresto… vederà tutte le statue nude famose ed avrà un pubblico del papel domani! (nessun Britney… quel significa il papa non…) il lol che ha divertimento, dice Jimmy desideriamo che sia stato qui e comprerò il sig.

Yeah, its almost too quiet

June 27, 2010 By clarkscottroger

You up yet?

Damn, quite the celebration…not. The predominant type (behind the writing of a lot of these Posts) is a clark, so you were expectin a wild, noisy, neighbors complain, cops show up twice, a fist fight, two totally-out-of-hand pda(s), grounds for and start of 2 divorce proceedings blow-out, already? You spell that c-l-a-r-k not s-c-o-t-t. We had a simple, reflective celebration of the Wakefield Doctrine. With the luck of the calendar, Firstaversary fell on a Saturday which also happens to be Wakefield night*. Enjoyable and productive trip. Got a lot done. Lots to look forward to in the coming year.

(I thought you’d never ask)…well, if you insist on knowing (lol).

In terms of goals and plans and thangs for the coming year here at the Doctrine, the following is what we see, (in no particular order, parenthetically top-heavy, all one long sentence style that surely will be seen in other blogs as the popularity grows, not certain how this (type of narrative) will translate in a screenplay, why yes, that is one of the things in the next twelve months that should get started).
Continue the Posts…people keep asking, “hey Post writing lifeform, what’s up with the daily-even-at-the-cost-of-quality Post writing. Why not go for 3 times a week and do better on those than force yourself to write each and every damn day, huh? why doncha do that?” Maybe I will and maybe I won’t…is that what you want to hear? No good reason other than fear.
Find a way to make the layout/look n feel of the blog better…really high on the list of priorities, need to present it in a better format that allows the use of the tools that I know are there but I don’t have a clue how to use them…but the key is to remember to ‘take chances’…biggest threat to this blog is to worry that I might fuck it up…we are here at this point because the prevalent thinking for the last 12 months has been ‘hey maybe it falls on the ground, so what’? Gots to get back to that place.
Get out into the blogosphere and get on more blogrolls…one of the indeniable forward advancementosities that occured this year was reading other blogs and commenting and eventually gettin on (other) blogrolls…this is the most basic step in growing readership…gots to get back to that
Write a screenplay…yeah…write a screenplay…does anyone (reading this) need any more proof that the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is a unique and effective way to view human personality…that it has something in the grouping of personality traits…that the worldviews it ascribes to the three types is consistent with the empirical data (if there was any) and that it is just plain true?…damn…you just saw an item establishing the writing of a screenplay as number 3 in a list of goals and that the two prior listed goals were, effectively: learn to write good Posts and learn to use the blog site that you bought…anyone see anything odd in that…err…hierarchy of goals?…oh alright…just askin
Present practical examples of the use of the Wakefield Doctrine…after all, this thing isn’t just for the glory of writing a blog…lol…really…its not …lmfao I’m just doing what any normal adult would do with more of the time available in a day than just eat/work/sleep would…really
But speaking of that…still need to spread the hats (for your damn head) out into the world…any Reader wants one here’s what ya gots to do; write a comment indicating a desire to have a hat (for your damn head) sent to you…then I would send to the email that you have to submit to write a Comment (and that never shows in the Post or anywhere else) I would send you an email with my email address that you can send your delivery address back to) (…any doubt which of the three you are dealing with?…lol) Anyway, there is a cost to a free hat (for your damn head) and that is you must take a photo that unequivocally documents your geographical location…some famous enough to google location…having a damn head under the hat is optional…you clarks can get a more attractive friend to wear it…do this thing.
And as a result of the above, the Wakefield Doctrine its ownself will become more and more clear and coherent to first time Readers and also your understanding of it will make it easier to explain to friends and family and co-workers and that will get them here to this site here…

The goal of the Wakefield Doctrineis still the same…one of you reading this (for the first time or the 21st time) will, later in this week might be at work or in class or at home with family…you will see someone act a certain way/respond to a situation a particular way, you will hear some say something in a odd but compelling way…you will be approached by a person in a public or a private setting and the way they appear to you will be different somehow…and you say to yourself or to a friend or companion or (if you are a clark) to no one in particular…”my god! this is what they meant…this person is a clark!…what a roger!!!…that is is so a scott!!!”

Thats how it began.

*Wakefield night, there is, in fact a Wakefield and it is, in fact driven around in by the Progenitor clark and DownSpring glenn during the course of which we review the week of the blog and we discuss the Doctrine. New insights into the Wakefield Doctrine happen rather often on these drives…for the development of the body of knowledge currently represented by the Wakefield Doctrine this is very valuable time spent….in camera**

**just wanted to use the term ‘in camera’***

***y’all want to come along on a Saturday night…that is not outside the realm of possibility…a petition to ride along will always be examined and reviewed…no guarantees…exceptional grasp of, insight into the Doctrine is a bare damn minimum….of course…but who knows…if we live long enough maybe we will start doing live Wakefield Posts…some kind of web cam thingie, might be fun…

‘ello. Welcome to the Firstaversary (Post) of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers).

Having been some days in preperation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!

Warning!, Warning! Warnung! There is a Severe Cultural Reference Overload Warning in effect for the balance of this Post. At the first indication of excessive use of common and overly-used cultural reference please relay a warning to other readers, (in the preferred form: Danger!! Danger!! Will Robinson) and calmly scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on the (blog-lifted) music video and await the All Clear. Or, if you would rather, get under your desks (if you have a laptop) and put your hands on top of your heads or whatever the hell the advice for us 1950s and 1960s school kids was so that we might survive the atomic bomb attack that was surely going to occur the next morning at school. Go ahead, flash your severe weather watch! chance of unpleasant tornado warnings all you want! grew up at a time in our culture when it was considered good entertainment programming to have Ed Sullivan present the Beatles and then after the commercial Ed would spar with Topo Gigio (that little Italian mouse) and then, without warning Ed would say and now a special feature and BAM! this animated featurette thing with the calming title: “IN CASE OF ATTACK” , besides the under-the-desk survival advice, there would (and I swear I can still see in my mind) be this cartoon atomic bomb blast complete with animated kids flying to the left and then to the right (’cause of the blast wave then the vacuum, or was it the vacuum and then the blast wave?) …that was really not the way to have a goodnight sleep on a Sunday evening to go to school the next day, waiting for the “light of a thousand suns” to shadow-graph your friends heads on the wall of the yellow-damn-bus that you rode to school in, wondering who you would let into your bomb shelter (if you had one), which you didn’t, but there acutally were ads in the newspaper for a bomb shelter store with all types of models, you really hoped that if your family bought one it would be the cool, totally underground one or at very least, the above ground model with a submarine door with those big wheel things on the front. Your biggest fear was that your family would do something with cinder blocks in the basement, without even a door (how could you shoot at the neighbors if you didn’t have a door, huh?) and those messed up port-a-pots toilets with a bag underneath, no way you would use one of those with your whole family in the same….

What? Oh! sorry…got a little carried away. Yes, of course the Firstaversay of the Wakefield Doctrine. Who wouldn’t know? (Well, other than 99,999,950 blog readers)

So. How to commemorate this milestone? Probably best to go traditional, you know great moments/Posts/Comments in the last 12 months, shoutouts to friend of the Doctrine that sort of thing. (The Dickens’ references? Can’t quite remember, but I trust it will all meld.)

Was going to do clips of Posts when certain events happened, first Comment from someone outside of the Progenitors and Downsprings, the first appearance of lasting characters and maybe even some favorite vids…but then I got to thinking…what the hell has the point of this thing been? Why did we start and why are we still writing these Posts? (This is a multiple choice question):
a) to get famous, make money and eventually have a fanzine (based in the Philippines) that will run fotostories like “clarkscottroger caught bloglifting!!!”
b) take a creative expression of my clarklike nature and see if it can live (and flourish) outside of the dark, dank confines of my (damn) head
c) write posts, get invited to join groups of people who think I accounted for the whole thing myself one June morning, sort of Waynes World for blogs
d) see if what the theory (of clarks, scotts and rogers) holds for the potential to improve oneself is, in fact true and effective.

(Correct Answer at the bottom).

So big shout outs to Friends of the Doctrine:

Renaissance Ronin who back in the fall (starting October 26th, to be rogerian) did some commentation that gave us a sense of having a “stranger” talk to us about this thing. It brought us out of the, “this is a cool club we have here, should we invite some other kids“? frame of mind.

Jason at the Enlightenment Project…actually was the first non PD Comment writer. Jason’s blog demonstrates the kind of focus and discipline to produce content on a regular basis, content that has a freshness and ‘liveness’ that we strive for with each of these Wakefield Doctrine posts.

Mel Spatula in the Wilderness…what can we say?…early influence… with quality and fun found in the content of the Spatular. (To continue with the cultural references) Mel is, for those of us here at the Doctrine, sort of a combination of Wally and Eddie. One of the first to have a WD hat (for his damn head), now that I say that, hey Mel! wheres them pictures of your hat in front of the Lake at?. (btw Mel), when the time comes* for the screenplay, I got dibs on being Matt Damon! (lol sorry dude you gots to be Ben.)

(And though some of you might get a little nervous) I want to thank Janie Sullivan and Britney and Jimmy and Mr. B and Principle Clark for coming into existance in the course of the last year. You have added immeasurably to the effort to bring the Wakefield Doctrine to the world. And even though some of you will be Seniors next September (Summer School is still an option Jimmy) I know we will be hearing a lot from you in the coming year. Thanks to the faculty and staff and students at Millard Fillmore High (motto: “we’re frickin imaginary, but we got Slovenian exchange students”)

Goodnight Slovinians, where ever ya are!

Answer: none of the answers ! (that’s right! not ‘none of the above’, I said none of the answers.) Now a quick quiz! Serious this time! Really!
(Match the type with the reaction):

clark: a) laughs; b) gets mad, decides to write a scathing response; c) gets mad, then laughs with grudging respect
roger: a) laughs; b) gets mad, decides to write a scathing response; c) gets mad, then laughs with grudging respect
scott: a) laughs; b) gets mad, decides to write a scathing response; c) gets mad, then laughs with grudging respect

(Answer pt2 below)

* (before the end of the year for first rough draft)

Answer Pt2: jeez sure are gulible aren’t you? None of the above, what am I the answer man? Now that you mention it, I guess I sort of am.
