Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
So who was it who mentioned photos and such…oh yeah. it was cai
It’ll be interesting to read the Doctrine’s dissertation of choice of photos.
A fun, interesting and quite enlightening subject indeed!
The three predominant worldviews’ thoughts, reactions and feelings* on being photographed:
- clarks (the Outsider) fundamental aversion to being photographed. family group photos? guess who is behind (and not in front of) the camera aka ‘most photophobic’
- scotts (the Predator) you know, this might come as a surprise, but scotts are not ‘the most photophilic’ of the three, they are, however, the most photogenic
- rogers (the Herd Member) …”no, wait, shift the angle just a little, nearly perfect, adjust the light… that’ll work“
There you go.
The ‘why’ of this is a whole ‘nother post. It involves the practice of identification (with others) and, most critically, the translation of ideas, attitudes, opinions and values from one predominant worldview to another. The heart of the Wakefield Doctrine.
ProTip: Don’t fall for the temptation to try and factor in (relative) position of the three people in the photo at the top of this post. Of course you know that they are the three progenitors, the original clark, scott and roger.
New Readers: you need to be able to identify the predominant worldviews of the three people in the photo at the top. On your own. The clues information is there. Relax! You got this.
* we trust you noted what we did there… thought, action, emotion?**
** New Readers! Core understanding meme for the Wakefield Doctrine ‘clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel.’

Good fun.

Don’t try to take a picture of me, you’ll break your camera.
lol
I’m guessing the Roger wore the traditional 3 piece suit with tie, with co-ordinating shirt-tie combo. Maybe the Scott didn’t wear a tie.
close…
ProTip: set aside the choice of clothing for the moment, if your computer permits, blow up the photo until you can see each face in detail… look at the eyes in particular now, (we trust you’ve been keeping up with the assigned reading, lol) with the three predominant worldviews in mind, imagine what kind of world each of the three are observing…
the Doctrine is all about perspective
the challenge (and the fun) lies in putting yourself in another’s position and, setting your own views aside, try and see the world from their perspective… are they alert and focused as any predator monitoring their surroundings for prey or are they comfortable where they are, relaxed because they know everything is in it’s place or, are they abstract, distant, observing a strange alien world
lol
told you the Wakefield Doctrine was fun!
I have an aversion to being photographed, yes. But then I go and make videos where I make a complete dork of myself, but to have fun sharing about things I love. So, I dunno. The “scott” is significant with this one. 😅
Perfect illustration of a significant secondary scottian aspect (in fact, I use you and your first video whenever I am explaining secondary (and tertiary) aspects to a New Reader
You know, the Scott at the school I work with has left to new horizons. Nice person. But dang she and I were like oil and water. She was a scott with a significant rogerian aspect. Me, a clark with a significant scottian aspect…we really just didn’t go together in the pudding…
