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

A quick follow-up, a coda, if you please to Monday’s post.

We were discussing certain elements of the rogerian predominant worldview that, while not evident to the causal observer (aka victim), becomes an insight that is, with all due modesty, invaluable to pretty much every clark. (in the world) (ever). lol

These insights are evidence of the same serendipity that accompanied the realization that there are but three personality types (aka predominant worldviews):

1. clarks (the Outsider) ever searching for the knowledge that would permit them to be mistaken for ‘real’ people.
2. scotts (the Predator) always on the prowl, like a shark, to be still is to cease to exist (or, at very least, cease to be a Great White or King of the Beasts)
3. rogers (the Herd Member) ever seeking the center in a world of people who are either looking towards them or looking towards someone else; while everyone is related, the one being looked towards is more related than the ones looking towards

cool, right?

Anyways.

the fortunate insight into the personal reality of rogers was the concept of ‘referential authority’.

rogers be all, “It’s not me, it’s (everyone else / the Manual / the Bible / the scientific study / the SOP etc), you need to respect. But…seeing how I pointed it out, why don’cha go ahead and consider me the boss of you“.

There ya go.

Questions?
