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

Damn! Scant scraps for the dog-bowl-of-Content-that-is-a-Monday-morning-RePrint-post!

What’re we saying? lol

The reason there are so many Wakefield Doctrine posts is quite simple: The Wakefield Doctrine is, (an additional), perspective on the world around us, (you the Reader, we the (editorial) voice) and the people who make it up.

Hey! New Readers! Are you finding a couple of the choices of words a little… odd? (barump bump! Extra points to the new clarklike Reader). Take the line above. (What, no Henny? Finally a few less-than-pre-digital New Readers!)

ok, running out of time, as par for the course.

The standout-odd phrasing we’re referring to, (this morning), is the end of our fundamental assertion of the Doctrine being a perspective, (as opposed to: The Answer/The Truth/The Solution): “… world around us and the people who make it up“.

Thing of it is, if you’re inclined to come back here more than once, it’s more than likely, if you’re not a clark, you have a significant secondary clarklike aspect. And, if you have that, then you won’t react to the notion that reality is, to a small but significant degree, personal. And, if that’s true, then we’re all, kinda making it up as we go along. And…and! if that is also true, we can change what the world is, (the personal part we’re talking about, sorry no magic-flying-toasters or other crazy shit). Just the fact that we all tell everyone around us who and what (we believe) we are and, more critically, how we expect to be treated.* So, for you guys out there? Thanks for contributing to the existance of this here personality theory here. Let’s keep it up.

damn!¹ We really are out of time.

(From the Year of Our Lord MMXII, the month of Octopi):

So a quick review of primary characteristics of clarks and scotts and rogers.

clarks: quiet, tend to mumble and are on the “brainy” side (not geeks who tend to be rogers) but clarks are the ones who are living in their own heads.  If you want to know about anything that normal people don’t have the time to learn about, clarks are the people you will go to… there is one in your life, close but you just haven’t noticed them.  clarklike females will dress from the “androgyny fashion collection” mix and mix, especially shoes… the clarklike males will be grey(with a splash of beige)  and have virtually no eye contact when speaking to you, which if they do, will consist of strings of incomplete sentences.

scotts: never stop moving, never stop talking, never fuckin stop…sports fans to a person…your scott is the one who introduces themselves whether they are entering a situation where they are the stranger or there is a stranger entering the setting where the scott  already is…when you move to a new place, the neighbor who comes to “welcome you to the neighborhood” that’s your scott…always helpful as long as “completing the task” is not the priority…scottian females…always attractive/seductive/commanding/demanding depending on the context, scottian males…always in charge…the person best described as “not always right but never uncertain…”

rogers: the most social and accommodating person you know, the roger is, in fact, most likely your family doctor, your family lawyer, your family accountant, emphasis on family…the person who knows the family history and insists that you come to the family reunion that’s your roger, the one who knows how many forks should be on which side of the plate…there’s your rogerian female…want to have a long conversation?…talk to a roger, they make it so easy to talk about yourself…the rogerian male will be well dressed and if you want to know if ascots and large briarwood pipes are still worn and/or smoked you will find the roger when you see either of them and if you want to imagine settling down and raising a family with a beautifully decorated home and be a member in all the right clubs and organisations…then a rogerian female will be near by.

* yeah, a little borrowed TA theory… congratulations, by the way, for being so old, but still remembering some of what you forgot you knew
