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

Last Monday of the year.

(No, we’re not so bereft of new content as to do a Year in Review post or a New Year Resolutions post.

(who just yelled out, ‘More like New fricken’ 24 Hours Resolution post?!?!)

oh yeah? forget you

lol

just for that… a RePrint post.

wait… before that… “hey scotts!! err, rogers? before the RePrint, there are free refreshments in the lobby. Yep, all you can eat roger, all you can chase, scott. We’ll announce the beginning of the ‘Print to leave you plenty of time to get settled in.

…

ok, that leaves the clarks.

ever notice irregularities or, worse, discontinuities in time? no, not the passage of contemporaneous time. historical time. aka the historical record. sorta a like ‘space creeps’ except more the public record  and such.

just had a spell (yeah, totally deliberate choice of words. archaic fer sure) of historical unreliability. Reading through old posts for the RePrint. Stopped in 2018 and noticed 1st person POV on our part. In the post. We were taken aback. Sure, there was a time when these were written in the first person. I have not trouble with that. Just that we thought that (approach to writing Doctrine posts) had stopped in the ‘early two-thousand teens…’

huh

for the record, we prefer (at least currently) the third person POV as being more consistent with our perceived role as Curator of the Doctrine. But no, as recently as 2018 I found posts written in the 1st.

odd

Well, to self-inflict an expression that totally pisses off a clark (when used by a roger) when we’re trying, really trying to overcome something, “Don’t over-think it”

For the record: Fuck You. Over-think this.

That, btw, is something only a roger would say to a clark. Why? Well… we’re glad you asked. We know this because of one of the totally valuable insights provided by the Wakefield Doctrine. Which is: When it comes to clarks, rogers have the ability to ‘lash out’. And it, at least before the Wakefield Doctrine would always be devestatingly effective.

Remind us in Comments if you want to hear more.

Monday the Wakefield Doctrine (“…lets try something a little different to start our week, ok?”) Part t t two!

February 24, 2014

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

I (almost) always write Posts in the morning. Reflected in these (first part of the day) Posts is my intent to offer guidelines and tips, pointers and suggestions to you, the Reader, that the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine might appear in your own personal life.*  It seems (somewhat to my surprise) that those who follow this blog have a much more comprehensive understanding of our little personality theory. So I thought to myself, I thought, “if mornings are the time (of the day) of clarks and the daytime is for scotts and the end of the afternoon is a more roger-friendly part of the day, lets skip the morning and write a Post at the end of the day.”**

So stop back this evening, lets see what a Post written in the comfortable, romantic part of the day looks like!

**************************************************

OK  it’s 6:00 pm EST  the hour of the roger.  Why do I say that?  because, clarks live for the future, scotts live in the present and rogers live in the past.*  So, the experiment today was, how does a Wakefield Doctrine Post sound when it is written from a rogerian perspective?

(lets put on our black beret, whip out a pipe and see what comes of my fevered brow!**)

this Wakefield Doctrine it’s something that opens doors that you had no idea were even there to be open. Finding within yourself a place that you can stand and observe the people and the animals and the fowls and everything in the world, this Doctrine is like one of those crazy hand held, brass and gilt mechanisms (that Anton Leewuwenhoek invented) to look at the way people try to deal with the demands of everyday life. There are three of these, ‘places’:

1. on the Outside  never a part of, always separate from, it’s hard to imagine how these poor bastards get through life… not alone, that would be easy, to be alone then you could get all grizzly adams and strike out on your own and build a satisfying life in a herd of one…. no, these clarks are neither alone nor of the herd… trapped by their minds, they spend a lifetime looking in the wrong corners
2. where the Predator roams… the less said, the better about these people. they are very much a force of nature, like a forest fire or a tornado… incredible power, and attractiveness and life and death dealing,  and like a forest fire they can create new from the destroyed old, they are the Sirens and the wolf packs   a simple people and as long as you never forget what you’re dealing with, then nothing bad has to happen
3. in and of the Herd, this is the worldview of the rogers. to be a part of and connected is so basic a truth as to be non expressible … if you have to ask about belonging, then you don’t…the opposite of clarks and the complement to scotts, these are the people who keep the game going, highly emotional giving all to the continuation of what has been, rogers all live in a perfect world… of course, perfection can cut and tear as well as nuture and salve… you know

thanks for listening, yo

 

*subtle point here, that ‘living in the past’… it is not so literal, like  “why excuse me, I don’t want to prepare dinner, simply because when I was 5 years old, I was forced to prepare dinner”. that is living based on a personal series of elapsed life events. our rogers are not hiding in the past, Mrs Haversham-like, but they (the rogers) know that the past is, in fact, the aggregate of experiences of people (‘the herd’) and the standard of living a good life is to be found there…for the rogers. dig?

** it is a medical fact, that the only male person who can wear a beret is a roger… scientists remain baffled why this is true (that anyone would want to)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Hey!  I’m thinking about asking for Guest Posts.   let me know what you all think about it, want to do about it, feel about.

*meaning, you can learn the characteristics of the three worldviews but it is only when you observe the behavior of a person in your life, will the ‘realness’ of the Doctrine be established… everyone who finds this Doctrine interesting has a moment when they stop and say, “my god! that’s of one of those rogers that the Wakefield Doctrine talks about!!” (or clarks or scotts, of course).

** meaning more the end of my work day than my awake day, say 6:00 pm EST
