Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
…I know I’ve often said that the Wakefield Doctrine is fun, that it will provide you will hours and hours of amusement of a specialized nature.1 That remains ever true, this day-after-Voting-Day and I’m pretty sure I’ve said, ‘hey, you know with this Wakefield Doctrine as a tool, you not only will know more about the other person than they know about themselves, you’ll know what they will do! I have, haven’t I? I thought so. Well, what I may not have already said, is that the Wakefield Doctrine, once you have achieved a certain level of… fluency, will provide you with a certain very specialized way to feel better. So specialized, in fact, that I will now get cunningly (and obviously) obsequious and make an allusion to ‘the feel better way that shall not speak it’s name’. and let it go at that.
you wanna hear something that (you should hope) makes you feel annoyed? the old zen guys2 used to have this saying, ‘if you have to ask the question, you wouldn’t understand the answer’. Don’t that just piss you off?
In any event. Today is Election Results Day! And we have a …we have Winners!! the Two Top Vote-recieving entrants is/are: zoe and Sandy. (Since ain’t no one going to hear your applause, go to the their sites… I have them linked here… go and whatever Post you land on, write ‘Congratulations on your Win. Go!!! Wakefield Doctrine!!’ lol seriously…. go.
Lets all enhance our herd status and give everyone who participated in the Election a great big metaphorical hug and an ‘awww’.
the Wakefield Doctrine has a place and a use in your day today, you did know that, didn’t you? Well it does. How the Wakefield Doctrine can benefit you today:
- if you’re a clark, and of the three, you’re most likely to know your own type pretty much right away, …if you’re a clark, don’t expect anything in your life to change, at least not in terms of yourself. Having said that, if you’re a clark, it already has changed…and yes, I’m all mystico-Post writer. But the fact is, if you’re a clark, you already have ‘a system’ (or the parts of a system) to explain the world, what the Doctrine has to offer you that your system cannot is the company of peers… that’s all that’s necessary to say, other than, ‘hey, take notes!’
- if you’re a scott, you’re feeling… not relaxed (I mean, we all know that you people relax in only two life situations and even those are fleeting and transitory, the only continuity of enjoyment you get from them, (these two moments of relax) is that they are a part of your normal and natural physical self)… no, the Wakefield Doctrine is different, it smells different…it changes depends on your mood when you’re thinking about it. that! that is what the Doctrine will do for you today, it will cause you, at a fleeting moment, to think, ‘hey, that was fun and those people think I’m this …scott-type person and I ‘get it’ all that brainiac stuff…cool‘
- rogers are wondering. rogers have a sense of disquiet, they know that nothing requires answering directly to another person to…certainly not in front of the group, but there is a nagging feeling that there is something missing, something that would be good to recognize… today there will be a moment that you will see some people (at work, in class, online with friends) when the thought passes by you, ‘like those Doctrine people’ and you will be comfortable with that thought… for a second only. then you will realize that they’re really not essential.
Hey Sandy!!! if you’re on the Facebook hit me up there… clark scottroger and I’ll get your mailing address… zoe, I’ll talk you in virtual0 (on the vid chat)…remind me code word: scotts
1) this is so cool, it is one of the most basic to and, at the same time, difficult thing to explain, but the Doctrine lets you find amusement in the world around you, based on the nature/character of the world around you…if you’re a scott, the Wakefield Doctrine will give you a way to make fun of people (in that not-mean, impersonal way that scotts do) or trick people into showing a vulnerability which can be exploited and take back to the herd as might a roger… like that ‘specialized fun’ and therefore frickin perfect.
2) which simply refers to anything I have picked up in a lifetime of clarklike reading/searching that constitutes as solution to the puzzle-of-life and does not involve martial arts, seducing women and/or requires the use of force in order to effectively employ



What?? I didn’t win?? Nuts.
Fortunately, I like Zoe and Sandy’s entries, so I’m cool with it. :)
You say I’m not relaxed today…Is anyone actually relaxed a week before Christmas?
Have a lovely day, Clark!
Christine
thanks! you too!
no, I didn’t say you weren’t relaxed today… I said ‘your people’ are never relaxed* but with the Doctrine,at some point in the day today, you will have a good feeling (totally out of left field) which will cause you to (look around first) and smile a little and think, ‘drat! those Doctrine people are inside my head still!
oh! btw? once we do the next run of Doctrine docTees, let giant and Buttercup know that they are entirely welcome to one of their own. (“but Mom!!! I don’t want to go there and leave a comment, those people are weird… except for that clark, he’s funny.” ) lol
* except for the two situations
woohoo! Thanks Clark. I haven’t felt the surge of good jou jou yet but I will be waiting for the vibe to hit!
Veddy interesting. :) *as I wonder as I wander about all the things I’m going to do today…
all that time!!
hey is work-school on vacation yet? even with that, school-school break must be fun
I think I should have won…not this contest, but something? Maybe…. Or not. Because Clarks are forever unworthy, or superior, or something like both, right?
welll..
I was looking and I found a company that will silk-screen anything and, here, let me ask a fashion question. if you were to have intimate apparel (aka underwear) would it be cooler to have a simple stated ‘the Wakefield Doctrine’ or should it be a pattern of the worldviews, for example clark*clark*clark* as the pattern?
Part 1 of your answer: of course (I do) the problem isn’t that we don’t deserve it all, the problem is whether we’re willing to take it all…
