Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
you have zoe to thank for this visual….
I am very liked this site. Its an insightful subject. It help me really much to solve some troubles. Its prospect are so fantastic and functioning type so fast.*
Hey speaking of clarks, I ran into the clark at my gas station yesterday and he said, (without my asking), ‘I went to that website you mentioned.’ And I was all, ‘well, what did you think?‘ and he said, ‘it’s interesting but the site is kinda hard to figure where everything is‘ and I then said, “yeah, my writing is not all that good“.
Hey, speaking of clarks, Lizzi did her ‘S’ Post (as part of her participation in the A to Z Challenge) and went with ‘Stream of Consciousness’ as a Theme… (jeez)
Have I said it recently, that, of the three personality types, clarks are the only ones likely to come up with something like the Wakefield Doctrine, which is kinda cool, but clarks are also the only one of the three who needs to come up with something like the Wakefield Doctrine?**
In case anyone gets to thinking that this is all, ‘nobody knows the trouble I seen‘ here today, the answer is ‘No’ (unless you’re a clark, then the answer is ‘not no’, but then, I didn’t really need to say that, did I’)
don Juan*** speaks of the danger of routines, in the sense that our capacity to grow is a function of our success in adapting. In a weird sort of way, rogers represent the strength of stability and scotts demonstrate the power of action and moving forward and clarks, us ‘gee-clark-you-sometimes-start-to-make-so-much-sense-and-then-you’re-off-somewhere-I-just-can’t-follow-it’s-almost-as-if-you-are-doing-it-deliberately’ we clarks have the creativity that allows for genuine change and improvement, not just re-arrange the parts ‘improvement’. Once again, I believe I see the necessity to develop the attributes of all three worldviews in some sort of dynamic balance in order to fully exploit the potential of this here personality theory here.
(lol yes, I will have to go out into the world and function in the normal, ‘real’ world today. hell, no one ever said that the worldview of a clark was comfortable! But what the hell, right? I saw Lizzi in one place in her clarkcycle yesterday and another clark at a different in his cycle. Some clarks at this very moment are in the I-can-do-this-reallife-thing! phase and other clarks are at the very bottom of the ‘here-you-are-again-back-at-the-bottom-alone-how-can-you-doubt-it?’ part of our worldviews. The point? I can identify with other clarks. They survive the bad and they earn the good. So can I.)
Friends in the Ether… the continuing ‘A- who- Z? Challenge
zoe: I’m not even gonna try to describe today’s Post other than (in a good and loving way), what tha fuck?? (2 things: a) who has the skills and and the manuel dexterity; 2) the first thing that came to mind was my youth, when I would often hide in a book when my own brain or the real world was too much and the visual was: I get into the safety of bed to dive into a book and I open the book and like the iconic scene in Alien the flowers spring out…. lol hey, it is cool but you have to go to her blog and see it for yourself…. Reader? do me a favor, after you read zoe’s post write a Comment and include either: I love this idea or I feel like Harry Dean Stanton!
jen-ay: (no, no one here thought that you may have actually eaten that sandwich that day…. lol)
Dyanne: (hey! Dyanne!! hurry!! we’re one letter ahead again!!)
Lizzi: what can I say? If you think this post is best responded to with a: “Hey! you should cheer up, your life ain’t so bad! If you want to hear how tough it can be, let me tell you about what I went through” then you’re a roger if your reaction is one of puzzlement that is over-ridden by protectiveness (looking around daring anyone to take advantage) you are a scott.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?
*(not a real Comment. I found this in the Spam folder when I was looking for Dyanne, who was, like, writing Comments and such, but never having them get through… it was the strangest thing.)
** I said, something like the Wakefield Doctrine… rogers
** Carlos Castaneda’s character
About clarkscottroger
dont blame me you sicko! frist
lol
you’re the one who wrote the Post that will have overly-talented clarklike mothers creating birthday gifts for impressionable young clarks (now that Disney is out of the traumatizing movie business*)…
*old yeller, darby o’gill and the little people, to name just two
So I had to google Stanton…gotta say I like him ( I dont recognize many actors) but I still dont get what I how is a joke… I know most will see my post as book mutilation but I only use old nonfiction reference books that are out of date and are in the recycle bin…I too lost myself (and still do… thankyou to the fates for that…bastards) in many a book…. I AM a clark at heart afterall… Yeah , I did have to quell my rogerian second ( I actually beat him down with a stick) after reading L’s post last night…
my fault actually, I gender-prefered Harry as a reference (although I should have gone with John Hurt)…and the connection is the scene in Alien and you construction, which I was seeing as one of those ‘pop-up’ books that open into dioramas…. or something and …well sort of like a clark’s idea of a ‘jack-in-the-box’
lol
not that that’s a bad thing!
Never saw Alien…don’t do movies much.
busted…. I make those too.
oops hit return… with the exception of Michelle… beating a roger with a stick…hmmmmm…
you know…
as I read you Post today, the precision and detail-orientedness of the your project today… I couldn’t help but think roger!
now, seeing how I am now in the process of making the dialogue of the Wakefield Doctrine more and more difficult to follow (ha ha…. ‘hey! I read the magazine for the articles you know!)…. by using the Comment thread as the platform…
but this (my responding to the ‘rogerian’ aspect of the task) is not derogatory, as we know that rogers are not all bad (lol)
so it must be evidence of your secondary rogerian aspect not that that’s a bad thing!
So with a secondary scottian aspect, how would one explain the detail oriented explanations in this here blog here???? Not that there’s anything wrong with that…(dont worry I was extra sensitive when that derogatory thing came up before… youre safe with me…for now anyway….)
I like this witty form of repartee between you two. I know–you should do a car interview! jea
a genius idea… maybe you should do one (its fun!)!
Ah I’m out of the clark-dark (thanks for that one, Zoe – loving the nearlyneologismistic hyphenatedness of that term)
And thank you.
And now wandering around the rabbit holes waiting for more of those little chalk ‘x’s on the walls to appear so I can follow my own way back to the sunshine :)
yeah… I like that one too clark-dark
it’s both a tribute to and the price of our Outsiderness that we can take advantage of (other clark’s experiences)… there in no reasoning with the dark, there is no arguing with it, but there is exceptions, in the form of our outsider nature, but the existence of other clarks. now, needless to say, we are not going to embrace each other and walk into the night, certain of no longer being alone…(talk about walking into a trap when the down cycle shows! lol) but I am coming to believe that character of my Outsider worldview is being (subtly) altered by my active and deliberate identifying with other clarks. and, true to our weird-ass reality, this is not about the individual (clarks), it is about knowing that there are others… like me
work in progress but so much potential good
We’re all alone together, but at least we know it :)
exactly! and that tiny, little fact is the damn pea under the podium when the dark part lectures us on what losers we are… it will not banish it, it probably will not weaken it too greatly… but, as we clarks know, the horrible power of the voice is how personally irrefutable it’s words are… and while we still cannot argue we finally have a ‘yeah but!’ that carries some power! nice job!!*
* “ladies and gentleman of Autopsy 101 thank you for your rapt attention, know please join me in thanking our guest for lying on the uncomfortable table and providing us with such a useful teaching aid. Thank you Ms Lizzi… you hardly flinched even once throughout the whole procedure!”
I think in order for it to be completely effective, painfree…the patient should be fully dead…not just by a dark-clark standard.
hahahahaha
