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

…was starting to write a Post using a table that would allow me to have the words appear as if in three separate columns.  Three ‘voices’  comprising the Post. Yeah, those three.  And while it is a valid idea, seeing how we are trying to convey to the new Reader that the Wakefield Doctrine maintains that ‘people experience the world in one (of three) distinct, characteristic ways’,  it just wasn’t speaking to me.
Maybe this feeling is a result of the dramatically increasing participation of new Readers like Molly and Nell and Claire and that new one….Popcorn? (no)…Reun?…Alexandra…( yeah, thats her!), be that as it may,  the old licks just don’t seem to be cutting it this morning. Or it could be that I talked to the Progenitor roger Friday, talk about the ‘parent eternal’, goddamn!  if there was not already a cool word  ( ‘buzz kill’ ) then we would call them ‘rogers‘. 
Anyway. the roger and I talked about the building momentum of the Wakefield Doctrine, and I was kinda the manic clark, all….”yeah we heard from this cool blog from Sweden…and there’s this Molly out in Wyoming she like totally gets it on her own“… and the roger listened ( which is a thing that rogers do better than anyone). At some point ( just short of permanent cerebral hypoxia) roger said in a matter-of-fact tone, ‘yeah you better watch out, chucko. At some point these people are gonna start believing you’.

Two events/reactions/states-of-mind immediately occurred: 

• my head swelled-up and my face fell…I immediately felt…guilty?…exposed??  I  actually/metaphorcially looked around furtively…? guiltily??!
• I got mad and thought…’fuck you’

And then (all of the above took place in that giant space in-between spoken sentences),  I smiled.  I smiled at roger (through the phone). I smiled at the people who ( the clarklike part of me was certain) would be so offended that I would be so….forward as to present the Wakefield Doctrine as a  new and helpful way of seeing the world.  And, I smiled at myself.  …and then I laughed,  “this Wakefield Doctrine really does work!!”

So welcome to the new Readers, you will be the reason that this thing  is still going on.  And thank you to the Progenitors  (clarks and scotts and rogers ) who remember what was, without which we could not know for sure that the Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, productive and fun way to look at the behavior of the people in our lives. And as is becoming increasingly clear, the Doctrine is:

• fun:  to watch the way that people behave in a situation when (their personality type is factored in)
• unique: while there are a lot of personality theories out there, you (Readers) are the only ones who know about clarks, scotts and rogers
• productive:  if you have struggled with dissatisfaction, been frustrated with falling back into the same rut, time after time then this approach will let you have a shot at genuine change
• (and unlike all the other self-improvement systems) we will totally say: this thing is for you, it is not for your wife/husband/brother/sister/girlfriend/boyfriend! ( Hey, let them do the work and learn about the Doctrine for themselves ) 

And just so no one out there doesn’t think that a clark can write a Post and not be spotted, we offer the following video.
