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

The first day of Summer!

We were going to get all rogerian* and cite exact numbers for the length of daylight (down to as many decimal places as possible) but decided not to.

The day tomorrow will be longer than the day today. And each successive day after that, longer still.

To those who shouted, ‘Hey! Yesterday was the first day of winter… didn’t you notice the piles of snow?!?’ we say, ‘Warm air is Summer set free, it is born, however slowly, of light.’

Whoah! Who let the poets out?!

ok… I know the song, but let’s wrap up this two hundred word post.

The ultimate use of the Wakefield Doctrine is two-fold: a) To better appreciate, (then accept, and finally to improve), how we relate ourselves to the world around us and 2) to increase our capacity to see the world as the other person is experiencing it.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

Maestro?

* of the three predominant worldviews, the Herd Member(rogers) are those who developed the style of interacting with the world (and the people who make it up**) living in a life that is, at its heart, quantifiable.

** why yes, this is one of my favorite cleverly humorous ways to talking about reality. …well, if you must know, the joke is obliquely referencing Carlos Castaneda. Or, more properly, his protagonist don Juan Matus ,who, in endeavors to describe the world (of the sorcerer) to his student, Carlos, as being something we learn from those around us.
