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

The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that everyone and all of us are: a)born with the capacity to perceive the world as having one of three characteristic natures. This ‘nature’ determines the basis upon which the individual forms and develops their personalities and 2) at an early age the individual establishes their residency (or membership (or backdrop)) in one and only one world. Growing up, a predominant aspect of, (the individual’s), style of interacting with the world is, obviously the character of the reality they are in. While one’s predominant worldview is one of the three, the ‘other two’ are not extinguished. They remain as secondary and tertiary aspects, influences and potential, as opposed to fundamental realities.

…man! we’re out of practice! While we recharge the batteries of the forklift that is clearly necessary in order to move words and phrases about this post, what say we go look in the archives for something a little lighter?

[Damn! I think I remember!* And…and! a fringe benefit of remembering the proper state of mind is to not only feel better, but enjoy an increased level of impulsivity. So here it is…. wait, better call them what were on yesterday’s Livestream,  Nick and Denise and Frank and Mimi and Cynthia (in spirit if not in person). A little more of a ‘setup’ is in order. They were on when the topic we’re discussing came up. The others, Tom and Ford and M. and the others hadn’t yet tuned in.

So the question from Nick yesterday was (paraphrasing here): why is it easier to react negatively (to the world) than positively? Well… this morning: we had to check on a house that might have had some issues with the furnace. Not surprisingly there was a sense of suspense as we drove up to the house. Fortunately, everything was fine. As we drove away, in a better mood, it occurred to us there was a choice in how we could feel. The default choice was ‘Relief’. But the better choice was ‘Celebration’. (Spoiler Alert! The surrounding concept and conclusion is beyond the scope of this intro, but we thought you’d want to know…about the universe and such. lol]

…after all is said and done, what’s in a name? the 3 personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine ( 3 labels account for all!!)

November 29, 2011

Mickey Rourke a clark?¹
Prince a clark?
Kristen Stewart a clark?  ( well,  that was kinda easy….just go look at this video)

And what’s with the term ‘clarklike female’?  After all, the Doctrine is gender neutral and you do call (the others) scottian women and rogerian females… why the weird name for the…wait… nah, never mind.

( No! We are not reluctant to answer the question, that is, after all,  how we all learn… well, clarks and rogers in any event.)

The answer, with any luck, will prove to be both simple and obvious

• a group or multiple scotts results in a pack
• more than one roger gathering together?  clearly a herd!
• 2 or 3 or more clark…… results in a… what was the question? (hey they were right here a minute ago!…was there always a floor lamp over there?…wait a minute…

Hopefully that answers the question to everyone’s satisfaction.

scotts are very, very easy to identify…when you see them, chances are they are already watching you! And if you are up for it, take a good look at them, (preferably when their attention is on someone else)  there is no mistaking the gaze, the alertness, they are paying attention. (Go back to the Kristen Stewart video thing above, this time focus on Kelly instead of Kristen)

rogers are not too difficult to spot, given that there are more of them than the other two types ( in any given situation)…besides you cannot help but to run into the roger wherever you happen to be…it is not enough for a roger to gather in a herd…they must find people who are not of the herd in order to get maximum enjoyment from the rogerian experience… now these ‘others’ will be of 2.5 other categories  clarks and scotts  male and female² and depending on (which) the roger will cause their herd to either interfere with the clarks ( like the old  joke we all loved when we first learned to drive…you know, “Hey want a ride?” just as they reach for the door handle, jump the car ahead… lol now that I remember that it is pretty funny) anyway thats sort of what a rogerand their herd will try to do to a clark…now if it happens to be a scott entering the room  then…er…  think more….  Lunch is served!

clarks are interesting…they have a natural affinity for the company of scotts  and a weakness for the charm of rogers…as to spotting a clark, well that’s another matter, if the clark does not wish to be noticed, then you are plain out of luck! You won’t.. but then again with patience you will see the proof (of the statement about clarks) that they do not want to be the center of attention but will not tolerate being ignored. clarklike females are second only to scotts as being easy to spot… with clarklike non-females** (lol)  it is a little more work, but all you have to do is listen to the conversation going on in the gathering… “we cannot directly know anything is real, but then again it doesn’t matter, because all this is imaginary in the first place…”   ( that sort of thing, along with the sound of scottian laughter and footfalls of the fleeing rogers )

 

* What makes for a dull post instead of a, ‘yeah, that was fun’

1. Go find the official video of ‘You can leave your hat on’ on the youtube. Watch how Mickey (his character) reacts and relates to Kim’s character. Ain’t no scott and too much humor for a roger (in that context)
