Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine, (the theory of clark, scotts…blah, blah and blah)
Remember that Post last fall with Robin Trower? (“sun don’t shine, the gods look down in anger“) well the fact of the matter is that (that) whole Post was generated by a morning that looked a whole lot like today. And you know how we keep talking about trying to let new Readers find out how much fun this Wakefield Doctrine thing really is? Well, that’s the kind of morning it is, here at Doctrine Central ( …Miguel de Aiyeee ¿qué es esta doctrina central? ¿No tenemos los documentos de derechos? ¿Se vienen y nos hacen volver a casa?… ). If memory serves me, that Trower Post was where AKH was starting to really participate in this thing of ours. So let’s just sit back in whatever form of support you are currently entangled with, listen to some music and maybe a quick Lesson of the Day. Sound good to you all?
Hey! someone go get glenn, (lol) he’s probably down the corridor making fun of how someone talks to compensate for how much he hates the previous video ( …¿Que se burlan de cómo algunos pueblos hablan? ¿Quién es este hombre, no creo que como él tanto, Miguel!… )
Ok before we lose all our new Readers, (…”what do I mean, new Readers”…very funny AKH) let’s get some Doctrine learnin done, so’s we can watch another video…(You know, it just occurred to me, does a person become a perfect clark, scott or roger just before they die or would they become as they were before, back when they was chillun? Great question!)
Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day. (Actually this is more of a study of the current body of knowledge of the Wakefield Doctrine than it is a Lesson). Let us all consider the question: what does the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) tell us about the end of life?
Well, we know certain things; a) everyone is born with the potential to experience the world as a clark or as a scott or as a roger; 2) at some point early in life (say around 2-5 y.o.) we all settle into one of the three and therefore begin to experience the world as a clark does or as a scott would see the world or the herd-society of the roger and c) we continue along life, not knowing that other people ( clarks, scotts or rogers) were experiencing a slightly different world even as we lived/loved/hated/fought/worked with/were devoted to them from our own personal perspective.
So what happens at the end?
I propose that we devolve back into whatever that original person was, before the “choice” was made to live in (the) world of a clark or a scott or roger.
(What? music? what do you mean the gloomy day outside the window is not going to last?…alright Mr. B. Seein’ how you the resident roger, you make a selection)
OK!! OK!! Recess over. Come on now, if this is a Lesson we need to be certain. What happens to us when we get to that last stage? Do we go back to the beginning or do we go out as we spent our lives or maybe we combine all three…damn, there’s a concept. You know I am not sure…any Comments? (lol)
(Hypersonic whistle) Hey boy! here girl…good doggie!
Come back!! Post is not over yet! (Actually I must be honest with you Readers, this is an ‘afterthought’ part of this thing, as in …later that day)
So, while I will stand by my position about what happens to us as we face our death, let’s back this badboy up and ask another question entirely. What is the characteristic style of death for each of the three types?
clarks: suicide or sacrificing their life for another, but in a quiet un-assuming way….
scotts: pretty much any of your violent, makes-a-good-front-page-photo-story (provided the publication in question is the Police Gazette or the National Enquirer) death big n loud
rogers: slow and annoying (annoying to the people being left behind, the roger would be totally in their glory…these guys like hospitals!!?!)
So there you go, binyons. Cradle to frickin grave! The Wakefield Doctrine has it all!! Tell me I’m lying.
hey!! glenn…your boy Carl, what kind of jar is the liquor being drunk from? (…”drink my liquor from my ?”)
an old fruit jar—common vessel for the consumption of moonshine. Same image in Jambalaya..”Pick guitar, fill fruit jar–and be gayo..” Fuck you. That word used to mean “happy”.
(ok, since others can handle the modern music), indulge us in this:
since ‘ol Carl writ the sumbitch and all, while the King went an made it real famous, whats up with his (Carl’s) ‘moves’, lookin awful Presley-like
Wow! I need to get one of those whistles.
No, you are not lying BUT you might be asking a trick(or tricky) question with your words: “What happens to us when we get to that last stage?”
Brings to mind that saying: “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
(the clarks out there can extrapolate an answer from that but the rest of you……)
[Enjoyed the vids. Mostly, the first 2 and especially Michael. Will never, ever tire of listening to him.]
personally i always thought it would be fun to come back as an otter. you know, sliding down the mud banks, floating around on your back. just having fun. however, as it pertains to the Doctrine, there’s no going back. we stay the same. that is to say, we maintain our clark, scott or roger personalities. i, for one, would not be able to handle nor enjoy being a clark or a roger. would never entertain the thought of suicide. and as far as a roger, fuck that. i might as well be dead.
go ahead clark. analyze the rationale of wanting to be an otter. surely there must be some deep meaning to that. some agenda. let’s hear it.
…sure, (the deep meaning is simply), you’re fuckin crazy…
(lol)
What the hell, hey?
OK…maybe the metaphysics is a bit excessive, ( I reserve the right to bring the issue up at a future time) you scotts are funny about the death thing…
(Since we heard from glenn), lets consider the problem presented by Mr. Carl and the King.
(I know which each is, of course) but consider whether Carl is a clark, scott or roger and Elvis (this is trickier than you think)…then think about relative “sucess” of both and why that might be…
