Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine  Coming Attractions!!  (Previews of tomorrow’s) Video-Friday!!

Before we discuss tomorrows insightful Video Post,  lets talk a little about the Wakefield Doctrine and Age and Gender and Culture.

The Wakefield Doctrine is predicated upon the idea that everyone experiences the world/reality differently, from one of three overlapping but distinctive perspectives. (further) …we are all born with the qualities of all three personality types, clarks and scotts and rogers. With this potential, at some point in early childhood we settle on one of three, we become predominately a scott or a roger or a clark. The other two qualities do not go away, we always have them within and sometimes we will act like one of the other two types. Finally, the Wakefield Doctrine and (the three personality types it names) is not only gender-neutral and culture-neutral, it is also ‘age-neutral’. This is a rather awkward way of saying,  ‘it does not matter if you are a 67 year old Spanish man or a 13 year old girl raised in Singapore, if you are a clark then you are a clark….(and may god have mercy on your soul!)

We mention the’ age thing’ because of the Drive-in theater motif/reference. Don’t believe there are any such things left, at least not in the part of the world that contains the Wakefield. In any event, age does not matter, (the) culture you are living in does not matter and (the) gender you claim does not matter. If you are a clark, then you are an outsider, if you are a scott, then you are a predator and if you are a roger, you are a member of the herd. We will leave to the sociologists among our Readers to describe how much aggressiveness (in an individual) is permitted in say Japan versus Germany or the degree to which an individual roger is allowed to exclude clarks in say, Italy as compared to Russia.

But the heck with that, we want to tell you about tomorrow’s Video Post ( Video lloc número sis)!
DownSpring glenn and I did a video during the last Saturday Night Drive, but we ‘ran long’, so long that ‘the youtube’ totally would not let  it be uploaded. So yesterday, through the magic of technology ( or the technology of magic )* I got glenn on the phone and we did a shorter form of Saturdays’ vid. In it, we cover much the same ground, i.e.  how scotts see the Doctrine and how scotts explain the Doctrine to people. ( …no, lol   not nearly as much spitting, hand-waving, shouting or dove-head-biting as you might think ). For those of us who have called in on Saturdays, you will hear a very impressive difference in the tenor of DownSpring glenn’s conversation. Thoughtful and compelling, you will be as pleased as we were at the insight this conversation afforded us.

This is a great place to remind everyone out there, the Wakefield Doctrine is everything that we say it is…you will find yourself in one of the three personality types ( clarks or scotts or rogers ) and you will also find yourself acting like one of the other two ( from time to time ). You will also recognise that much of how we describe each of these three is exaggerated,  clarks are weird guys who mumble and that rogers are judgemental and geeks and that scotts are sluts and psychos. That is not true (well, maybe not such an exaggeration in the case of…) We are using hyperbole to illustrate subjective traits of people who you will never meet in person ( unless you come to the Wakefield Doctrine Global Pic a Nic…dates in 2012 to be announced).  Exaggerated or not, the ‘worldview/reality’ that gives rise to these three personality types remains valid.

Don’t want to give too much away about the Video Post! Tune in tomorrow and give a listen. Write in or send us your own video response.  (there’s a hat with our name on it, for you if you do!)
