Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
In keeping with losing the calenderoid-continuity* I will not only post a reprint from 2015, but it will be from the Monday version of the 5th day of that year. (Kinda makes sense, right?)
Topics, once we become properly grounded in this Year**, that we will be exploring later in this week, topics will include:
- gender-neutral (are you sure?? Sounds like some people might have an issue with that)
- age-neutral (oh, so where’s the outrage now?! Not hearing any ‘Wait!! How can that be?!!)
- fluency in the three predominant worldviews ( what, is this school? sounds like someone is backpedaling into pedagogy!!***)
Yes, ok, we’ll get to the reprint from January 5, 2015.
But. later this week, when we return, be prepared to get all studious about this stuff.
Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Given that all you Readers are sitting in one of three worldviews as you read today’s Post, it’s only right that I make it clear which worldview I am talking about when I present a hint, isn’t it?
Well, actually no. It’s only right in the context of one of you. But that’s not important right now. Right at this moment, most of you Readers are at the start of your Monday, so on with the Doctrine hints:
- clarks will be the ones most likely to get up early, followed by rogers and, (yeah, maybe a little surprising)…scotts are the last to rise and shine
- clarks will be remarkably (and suspiciously) optimistic and talkative
- rogers will not
- scotts (who are still in bed) will begin to see that getting the other person back into bed is the best approach for everyone involved ( by ‘everyone’ we mean, of course, the scott)
- clarks will look forward to the day the way that a person with a horrible toothache will look forward to going to the dentist
- rogers will look forward to their day…in detail with no need to share or express their concerns for the upcoming day
- scotts will still be in bed
- clarks sometimes feel anxiety about ‘the start of the day’ not necessarily the events that they anticipate happening, but rather, the point at which forward momentum begins
- rogers will become more animated and energetic, but unless the other person is also in the same line of work, this brightening view of the coming day will remain inside their heads
- scotts will (finally) get going… the least amount of preparation for the day of the three (consistent with their roles in the work day)
- clarks and breakfast? what, are you insane?!?!
- rogers and breakfast? well, we always have (fill in the blank precisely, please)
- scotts and breakfast? yeah sure… come on! lets get going!!
That accounts for ‘our’ morning. I have every intention of returning to this here Post here at noon today and provide us with a look at the tipping point of the first day of the work week. Unless you have a coment.
* not a ‘real’ word (pronunciation: /cal -en/droid)
** according to the ‘Pedia… 2021 is the Year of the Metal Ox !
*** well, yeah, sure I thought that was funny… and, no, roger, no one is being too clever

It is funny, and a breakfast of coffee so i don’t die of headache is plenty.
I’d say that sums/sews it up!
Breakfast… In line with Ms. Meanderings – coffee is the first and only thing goes into my body, lol. Food can wait!

Finally! An easy one!
Control, binyon, control. One might think that young Kal-El suffered a bit of PTSD from the destruction of his home planet… its not a leap that he is also victim of that gloriously self-indulgent but all too common form of suffering captured in the term Survivor’s Guilt. Those chunks of rock that is the only thing that can harm…hell! kill this otherwise invulnerable being, the semi-eponymous kryptonite.
Control (both the desire for and the imagined need to maintain) is surely an Outsider’s kryptonite and is to both be sought and avoided…
ya know?
Damn. Do I! Appreciate the refresher.
You’re right about forward momentum in the mornings. Absolutely. And I DO get up early. But it takes me three days to wake up. Yes, I said three days to wake up in the span of three hours. 😂 Talkative? Does writing and journaling count? Cuz when I wake up it’s a routine of meditation, journaling, writing haikus, breakfast, a little more internetting, then work. Minimal talking. Minimal interacting. Haaaa.
