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

What about the any internal symmetry inherent in the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine?

Surely a question on ever one’s mind,

The three (predominant worldviews, aka characteristic style of relating to the world around one and the people who make it up are:

clarks (Outsiders), scotts (Predators) and rogers (Herd Members)

Reminder, yo. None of the three are bad. None of the three are good. All three represent a idealized whole person. Sorta.

Which is why looking at the an element common to all three (though manifested differently, of course) will gain us insight into our own personality type while providing hints at how to take advantage of certain qualities of ‘the other two’.

Hold on! Wait a minute! We’ve, somehow, almost forgotten a major holiday!

How major? Nothing less than: as-Thanksgiving-is-to-rogers (or) Halloween-to-clarks big, thats How….errr major.

Here in Oceania every mid-Summer we hold a celebration of… well, kinda like the Summer Solstice that every culture, (since Lilith walked out of the Garden), observes but with food and explosives. The 4th of July! (cue the fireworks, Mt. Vesuvius-backyard-charcoal-grills, strip-volley-ball-games),

anyway, we’re working on this week’s Six Sentence Story, so what say we Christmas Club this bad boy (you remember those, right?) with a RePrint (just check, this is, like totally-as-often-reprinted as the eponymous ‘Feast of St roger’s Day post’) Post!

Quick reminder about the Holiday tomorrow:  If you do not know that July 4th is one of the most scottian of holidays, then you need to write in one of the Comment boxes below 50 times

“scotts love loud noises, it lets them believe they can have an effect on the world“.

Seriously, picture the coming Holiday:

• takes place at the height of the Summer season
• eating and drinking to excess is encouraged
• minimal clothing allowed in virtually all public places (including churches and hospitals)
• outdoor sports activities including chasing frisbees, being dragged behind a boat and the use of explosive devices (such explosives, that were it December instead of July,  a visit from Homeland Security would be the immediate result)
• …minimal clothing

So for you non-scotts reading this, three July 4th Survival Tips:

1. stay indoors
2. keep the lights off and the glow of the TV shielded from windows and doors
3. turn up the air conditioning and ….wear extra clothes

We hope that helps.
