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

What say, as a theme to today’s obviously non-original content, we go with one of the first encounters we all had, as children going to school, with fact that the world of adults was, at heart, misleading. We refer to the moment the teacher says, “Alright class, this time you’ll grade your own tests.” The soaring jubilation gets as high as a scottian boy’s rubber band launched paperclip, or a rogerian lad’s paper airplane.

It, (the process of being both the taker of a test and the judger of the answers) was not what some us inner, pre-civilized (aka pre-school) children expected.

what I meant to say is clearly not what you think you heard

Monday.
Get the hell up.
You know of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) and you will recognise at least one roger or one scott in your world today.
You will not approach this individual or otherwise make them aware of your knowledge that they are just like we talk about here.
You will do your best to maintain your composure, unless you are reading this with a friend and/or friends, in which case, listen to the clark among you.
When you spot your first roger, it will most likely be in an ‘organised environment’, ie.e school or work or any other place that you are compelled to follow certain guidelines as to your own activity.
Make a note of your first sighting (being extra careful if you are spotting a scott, do not, under any circumstance allow the scott to see you taking notes.)
If you are a roger (yeah, right!) do not allow other herd members to observe you doing anything that is out of the ordinary.
Clarks…you will have no trouble…unless you start to think that this Wakefield Doctrine will win the love of the herd or the backing of the scott.
When you have spotted the first, the rest will be easy.
Expect to make mistakes initially deciding if a person is a scott or (an aggressive) roger.
Don’t be concerned, it happens to the best of us at the beginning.
You will notice, rather quickly, that rogers are using the personal pronoun way, way, way more than the scott…
You will (then) notice that the scott has the attention span of a 3 month old puppy on amphetamines

Everyone ready?  Good.  We know you can do this thing.  If you have any questions or concerns you can always write a Comment (yeah, fer sure lol)

We here at the Doctrine will be standing by, both Progenitors and DownSprings to help where we can, but knowing about the Wakefield Doctrine (and seeing the world accordingly) thing is a lot like…riding a bike?…nah a bike is inanimate and while fun will not turn on you if you stray from the herd…or totally prey on you until something more attractive comes along, …like learning to play an instrument?…no way! playing an instrument has a set technique and therefore is totally predictable so that if you hit certain keys on a keyboard you will always get a certain sound/tone….like sex?….maybe…it sort of has the always the same almost always enjoyable and worthwhile, except when it is not and then the results are to be regretted for a life time…yeah sort of like that.
But all of us here, at Doctrine central, admire you as you got out into the world today, armed with a knowledge and a  power that is shared by 10s and 10s of people here and there around the globe.  Now you know how Noah must of felt…you gotta get out in the world and do something that you will be glad you did, but you better not let the neighbors get too close a look at your backyard…or something like that.

New Readers?  No rush, no hurry.  The above is directed towards Readers who have been here a while, for now you should just enjoy the videos, spend some time in the Pages (Table of Contents) or browse through some old Posts (Archive Read ’em and Sleep)…you will get the hang of this Doctrine thing pretty quick we betcha.
