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

Still playing with my schedule. I think I mentioned that I was trying to get back to a more predictable schedule for writing for the Doctrine and working and whatnot.

Seeing as this is the Wakefield Doctrine, it would certainly behoove me to say something about the three worldviews and schedules before going with today’s reprint!

clarks loves they schedules! clarks like the concept of schedule(s) because it implies that one thing that is not assumed in reality of the Outsider, schedules imply, (for those of us inclined to pose the question), that the future will resemble the Past. Schedules also convey an odd sense of …belonging  for the clarks who acquire (a schedule) or create one. It’s like a vote of confidence! Yes, clark, there is a chance that your future will be much the same as it is today and what you have today (in your life) stands a good chance of still being with you tomorrow.  Now, I realize that the scotts are shaking their heads and the rogers are raising their eyebrows, at this statement. Seems a little silly, does it scott?  Sure you don’t dwell on the Future, you, of the three of us, totally live in the Present, but like the puppy or the lioness, you do not give thought to the nature of your world, (to your credit) you run out into the savannah each day and deal with what you find. clarks, on the other hand, believe that we have to understand things, attempt to do so each day, but alas, we simply do not trust reality.   rogers…they have not a lot to add to this discussion.  the word anathema?  active questioning of the reproducibility of life from today to the next day is anathema to those in the rogerian worldview.

How about a re-run?  Sure!

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

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, do this: 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), 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.
