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

About to shift into the fiction portion of the week’s blogposts.

ha ha

Serially, the Wakefield Doctrine posts from Monday through Wednesday is no more fiction, when compared to the posts written for the TToT or the Six Sentence Story or, even, our participation in jenne and ceayr’s Unicorn Challenge than John Cage is often mistaken for Stephen King.

(We repeat: ha ha. You want rhetorica veritas, well, do ya punk? We’ve committed to that music-fiction writing analogic-reference without first checking utube to see if it ‘works’. Too bad. Too sad. We’ll just post a music vid below without checking first.)

That’s how confident….

Wait.

It’s a given around here that ‘an easy Doctrine post’ to write, (one that all Friends of the Doctrine and most New Readers) will enjoy is: the opposite of one predominant worldview to another theme.

Hell, as the founderess of the TToT ‘hop demonstrated so many years ago, if’n you’re a clark (or have a significant secondary clarklike aspect) not only do you ‘get the whole theory of clarks, scotts and rogers‘ you will begin to extrapolate the principles and identify characteristic …..err characteristics of each of personality types that have not yet been listed in this blog.

… but, a little trickier post is the one where we search for the ironic strengths of the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine. They kinda interrelate themselves to each other… ‘what a surprise! lol

This is all prompted by our saying we were making a joke that involved knowledge that we’re pretty sure is correct, i.e. the music of John Cage and writing of Stephen King.

The fundamental self-confidence, based on what they admire in one of ‘the other two’:

• clarks (the Outsider) knowledge and it’s manipulation that results in appearing intelligent
• scotts (the Predator) confidence and certainty that provide a persuasive effect regardless of the validity or sensibility of their central thesis
• rogers (the Herd Members) universality of the presumptions they make and the degree to which others will subvert their own beliefs

ok…back to writing our Six for the week

Mr. Cage, if you will?

Damn! Remind us next week to discuss ‘the Slacker Effect’*

* the Richard Linklater movie that will totally identify any rogers in the viewing audience.

New Readers? They not only don’t like the movie, they get angry! Really!
