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

You know how we were focused on clarks last week? And, in the process of focusing on clarks, we saw that: self-consciousness/awareness/doubt/love were all significant factors, right?

…given how the predominant Readership here is clark (and some interested/interesting scotts), we will stay with ‘the Outsider’ for a little bit longer.

(as a good Post writer) I will attempt to provocatize those who have stopped by and say, “hey, we all know that fear is the predominant background emotional tenor for the clarks, right?” and we’ll take it a step further and say that, “while the experience of fear is not exclusively of a clarklike nature, (we) clarks are the only one, (of the three worldviews), who will feel guilt about experiencing fear.

Ok! This is going to be an experiment in a ‘running Post’,  you know,  like an old fashioned serial (movie, book, killing, romance), we will advance our topic in stages that a marked by a specific point that, hopefully, will inspire you (the Reader) to:

• laugh and say ‘you fuckin clarks!’  (scotts)
• get quiet and when attention is restored to it’s proper place, intone, ‘well, that’s pretty contrived, don’t you feel?’  (rogers)
• press your lips together… smile inside your head and think, ‘yeah! I know what you mean… but….’  (clarks)

Part 1

the Wakefield Doctrine is a fun, useful and unique approach to understanding the behavior of the people in our lives. properly applied, the perspective made available by ‘the Doctrine’ will let you enjoy an insight into the life of the people closest to you, knowledge of the reality of people around you who are seeking to gain an advantage over you and a way to minimize the emotional sucker punches that seem to be a high-frequency occurrence with certain personality types. Learn about what this Wakefield Doctrine has to say about people and reality and behavior and you need never again find yourself saying, “why on earth would they go and do a thing like that? I really thought I knew them better!”

Cliffhanger Number One: so a clark will actually, if they pull the slightly yellowed and moth-eaten sheets off of the emotional furniture in their subject realities, realize that they are very concerned about maintaining the Good Opinion of total strangers.¹

1)  not just strangers, people who are only moderately significant, like, say the 23 year clerk-girl at the 7/11!  Because if she smiles at the right time, the day takes on a hopeful note, if she laughs at the wrong time (just before or just after the interaction), the day will immediately acquire a feeling that simply confirms that many things in life, do, in fact, suck and only if they, (the clark) did something better/did not forget to be a better person/just paid attention more  then they could thrive and flourish and not be such a drag
