Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
So, we were talking about the all too rare insights into the realities of the three predominant worldviews.
The three ‘personality types’ of the Doctrine are:
- clarks (Outsiders)
- scotts (Predators)
- rogers (Herd Members)
We, all of us, are born with the potential of all three, settle into one, (and only one), but retain a vestigial access to the ‘other two’. The basic mechanism/conceit underlying the Doctrine is simple: our personality type is but a reflection of the relationship we have with the world around us and the people who make it up. And the primary task we confront is to learn how to survive and thrive. At this time we’re taking our cues from our close-in world and discovering and developing strategies that allow us to continue to grow and mature, given the nature of the world we are in (Hint: there are three ‘natures/characters’).
Which is kinda cool when you think about it. Ain’t none of those lists of traits and tropisms, compensation of lost opportunities or twists imposed by greater, (and, all too often, inimical), forces in our worlds). Hell, no. We’re just trying to survive. So you might say, (which we very much do), that your personality type is perfect.
… (you knew there was gonna be a ‘dit-dit-dit’ admit it! lol)
We, all of us, according to the Wakefield Doctrine, have the exact right personality type, (here come the italics) given the nature of the personal reality we are existing in.
(can we get an Amen?)
anywho… we were going to talk about the deeper insights into the three personal realities of the Doctrine. (Which is to say, there’s a ton of descriptions and adjeverbs for the personal reality of: Outsiders (clarks), living in the semi-shadows, mumbling, poor posture, an affinity among some to decorate their heads and Predators (scotts), such as Tasmanian devils/devilettes, life-of-the-party, adrenalin addicts, really hawt and, Herd Members (rogers) who totally account for the benefits of modern tech, safety of most ingestibles and there being a Right Way and a wrong way, (not to mention, really, really neat, organized work benches)
Sure, that’s the fun of the Doctrine.
But there is more to the three worldviews than we can easily see from our perspective in only one of them.
That’s our next topic… but we’re out of time.
Stop by tomorrow.

I will… stop in tomorrow.
Amen! There, you got it.
