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

Quick Post today. Two things,  no maybe three. whatever.

Congratulations, you’re welcome, fuck you  to everyone participating in the Contest/vote this week. no, I’m serious  one of these is what your would expect to hear.   (By The Frickin Way), the election and voting was fun, but you guys still need to go and congratulate the winners!  Copy and paste: Congratulations on your win!  Go Wakefield Doctrine!!  in a Post in their blogs…here:  zoe and Sandy.

reprint Post today (well, actually it’s a portion of a Post)… no, I don’t think I’ve run out of things to say. there are Posts from a couple of years ago that explain the Wakefield Doctrine in a more …accessible manner. In any event, good message and you gotta admit that clarkscottroger fella’s pretty damn sharp

It’s because we have such exceptional people participating in the discussion of this here Doctrine here, two things are possible: people find ways to apply the Doctrine in their everyday lives and share their experiences, and by doing so, the rest of us see new ways this thing can be useful.  and, …and!!  clarks have a peer group, totally not a pack and definitely not a herd…we (clarks) are  not stopping with the Outsider thing, rather we’re changing how it feels to be the Outsider….in teeny tiny ways, maybe only once or twice a month but still …it’s different now.  (you clarks know what I mean, everyone else… well, you can ask, if you really want to know).

Before we do the ‘reprint’  anyone up for a semi-quick  vid chat this Friday?  (I got a couple of questions and maybe half a potential insight that I’d like to run past someone who knows about the Doctrine, it would really help.) Everyone else?  you’re welcome to join us, of course!  This vid chat is a great way to learn about the Doctrine, but you should know that it’s not the only thing that we talk about during these live posts…hell no!  we talk about: bosses that need training, friends that are a pain in the ass, people we know that we wish we could change, what to do about that guy that wants to be rewarded for acting like a jerk, how to get that girl to come across, how long will it take to stop feeling awful, what good is it to know the answer, when will they ever understand us and finally…how cool it is to be able to talk to people we know who know how we feel and they don’t preach or condescend…. just like any normal family dinner hour, right?

tomorrow 12.20.13 7pm

Today we will ‘talk’ a little about how you can use the Wakefield Doctrine to improve your day today! Yes, you read that correctly! We did just make the claim that what you read here today will allow you to do things differently, react in a way other than how you normally react and learn more about the people in your life….today!

First off:  you are either a clark or a scott or a roger. (No, you don’t have to read the “about Page’ or stop what you are doing, just stay with us… you can do this, we have yet to hear from anyone who said, “Hey I couldn’t understand this, it didn’t work’)

Which of the following statements sound most right:

1. “…screw this…other than the Title and maybe the pictures, this is too boring!”
2. “…no, I won’t answer your question, you have no right to ask questions like that, if I want you to know what I think maybe I would tell you but only if you tell me more about someone else that we both know.”
3. “interesting…this all sounds somehow  familiar, but lets see how you get away with the claim of us knowing which of the 3 we are…”

Good work!

Group 1  you’re scotts and you should feel proud of yourself for making it this far, stay with us just a little longer and we will show how you can get way more out of the day today, and have a lot more fun doing it

Group 2  hello roger  (yes, this applies to men and woman and boys and girls) and yes there are, in fact, more of you people in the world than the other two and no, you’re absolutely correct, we don’t really know your inner most thoughts and we obviously totally under-estimate your subtle intelligence…but… you know how a good Ken Burns movie includes, like the actual letters and things that people said, how it paints the complete picture of the life of the dead people that he is spending 120 minutes of black and white film on?  You can know that much about the people that you meet today. Guaranteed. Just stay with us and we’ll show you how.

Group 3 clarks…yo  hang back  watch what we do with the other two, you be alright on your own….one thing though…don’t worry about ‘getting this exactly right’ and don’t worry about maybe making a mistake….all the others reading this? they’re frickin scotts and rogers!! Like it’ll be a major miracle if they even know you write a Comment…lol

Attention Please!!

rogers: for today? today you need to be aware of the clarks in your life. They are the ones that are not taking things from you or otherwise making you feel good cause they’re telling everyone a joke and it seems to involve you (but you didn’t quite get the ‘set-up’). Anyway, when you see a clark…and they will be the ones who seem to enjoy talking to you and are offering to help you do your work, give them cover when your friends show up…the herd of other rogers…you know the people you are comfortable with but don’t really know and (for some reason you have never figured out) and don’t care to know, do something to get the clark to get away from the herd. You know that nothing good (for the clark) is gonna happen…

scotts: relax a little, when you get the small group gathered and you feel the need to crank up the volume (you know, when you tell a slightly off-color  joke and how when you see that everyone is laughing you know that you have to tell a dirty joke and if too many people are still laughing you have to tell a really dirty joke?) today…stop and ask the person in the group that is around you if they had one wish, what would it be? When you get the person who clearly is taking the question seriously….leave them alone for the rest of the day

clarks: stop thinking and do one thing that you know will make everyone think you are a jerk…do it seriously, no ‘set-up’ no mumbling just answer someone rudely or compliment a member of the opposite sex, or ask your boss for a raise (and don’t help him say no, ask and shut up)  do this once today and your life will not be the same again. We are certain of this.

 

OK everyone! Do this thing. You do the task we suggest and your life will improve because you will have the proof that what the Wakefield Doctrine has to offer will be useful and valuable in your own lives.
Hey!
Some of you will get yourselfs confused, either on purpose (I’m looking at you, clark) or cause you don’t really believe this (roger) or you were in too much of hurry…( lol  scott!)  But here’s the thing:

We all have the qualities of all three, just one of the three is the pre-dominant, main one.
The Doctrine is all about the world that you experience, not something you need to think about, just remember what we tell you and everyone, we mean everyone you encounter will play their parts.
Have fun…you can’t get this thing wrong….you can fuck up the instructions and trip yourself up, but the main thing is that if you are a scott then the world will be a place of challenge and conflict, if you are a roger then you think you have it down and the group will back you up and  clark?  welcome you’re home.

 

hey…you’ve gotten this far… find the way this blog lets you follow it and sign the hell up for updates, ok?
