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

If you are of a certain age, you will recognize this person… a high jumper named Dick Fosbury who changed his sport in as fundamental a manner as possible. (Look him up) RIP 2023 (yeah, so a clark)

(Thought I already had a Reprint post, the original intro-section, but discovered it’d already had a music vid attached. But, it, (the vid, not the words), just didn’t connect to anything in the world, this morning‘s world, at any rate.)

Hey! There’s a possibility!

And… and! it ties in (sorta) to a comment Nick made, the end of last week, about how the concept of ‘expectations’ might be an interesting Doctrine post.

Speaking of connecting to the world, we trust everyone reading knows that Wakefield Doctrine is about nothing if it’s not about the relationship one has with the world around (them) and the people who make it up. Correct?

(clarks: yeah, of course; scotts: we got ya; rogers: well, maybe you should go ahead and tell us)

We would say that the parenthetical above has everything a person would need to re-create the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers, but that would not be true.

The thing of it is, the Doctrine? All these words and posts, music vids and bullet lists, the three personality types and descriptions?

They’re for clarks and scotts (with a significant secondary clarklike aspect and rogers with a significant secondary clarklike aspect) only.

hey! wait. Today’s post photo has totally derailed the direction of this train (lol… not quite a rogerian expression but still fun)

With the Everything Rule* in mind (hell, lets put it on a banner along the top of the blackboard) consider:

Creativity:

• • clarks: genuine creativity and therefore rarely a direct benefit, i.e. a place in the first generation history books; clarks being the Outsider are in a position to take from nothing and bring back (or leave on a scott or roger‘s doorstep) expressions or things, songs or viewpoints that are not nor ever have been of the world.
  • scotts: with endless energy one might think the world would not be able to keep up and a path out of the known world would be available (to gather something new and novel) but no, a scott will use their energy, (and, therefore, power), to take pretty much anything and, (with as many exclamation marks as necessary), raise an old, sweat-stained-liner, slight tear in the crown, fedora and say ‘Hey! I have a new hat. Aint that cool/funny/amazing?’
  • rogers: being of the Herd, they are natural eingineers/accountants/law makers. the creativity of a roger is found in their talent in combining the parts, (already in existence), in a novel fashion.

Out(ish) of time.

Expectations: a very provocative iquiry, fer sure. Afterall, this thing of ours is about relationships. And can there be a more intimate relationship than that between ourselfs in the present and ourselves in the future?

Get everyone you know to write a comment to the effect: ‘Hey! We want to read a post on expectations! Nick’s idea/topic is what you should write about next. Come on! We promise to come back.’
