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

A rabbit, a fox and a Man walks into a freshly-mown backyard…

The rabbit eats grass for as long as it takes for the Man to get frustrated with a technology that reprises the adolescent fantasy of traveling in time to pre-technologic times and dominating the primitive natives with a fricken’ zippo, ‘cept the Man gives up as his own future fails to materialize, the rabbit dashes off the grass, out-of-frame and the fox? Doesn’t appear.

New Readers: Sure you could make the rabbit the clark, fox the scott and the all-seeing, somewhat un-capable Man as the roger and you’d be pretty close to correct. Which brings us to the Lesson of the Morning.

the Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not them.

Early on in this effort to describe the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers to the world in a manner that would allow anyone to understand it to the point of being in a position to apply it to their own lives, their world, their personal reality, we liked to make provocative statements, such as the ‘...you, not them’

Mostly because it was fun (to write) and also because, like so much of this thing of ours, in crashing common viewpoints (of the world) and everyday phrases producing a jarring effect. Cognitive dissonance and bananas for breakfast…yum!

… so the Question of the Day:

What is it they mean by ‘the Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not them.’

Pick up you pencils and begin….now

damn! talk about the power of the original version! and we’re not, like, overly fans of the King
