Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Funny how some of the useful and fun insights afforded by the use of the Wakefield Doctrine as an additional perspective on the world around us may seem, at times, as totally serendipity.
Being a clark, we have no problem with making that statement. (After all, we’re not rogers) lol
And so, this is where the more advanced practice in the use of the Doctrine, is observed. It is not as simple as seeing a person give credit to another for something or other. It is how this giving credit manifests. And…and to make it even more intriguing, it, (the determination of another’s predominant worldview through a singular observation), comes down to ‘how it feels’. As the observer, not the actor.
And so, our point? The more involved we allow ourselfs to be, (in the perspective of the Wakefield Doctrine), the more we are capable of appreciating in the world around us. Like music and art, the more we know, the more we hear and see.
And, of course, a bit of luck never hurts. A chance observation allowing a level of detail that otherwise might be overlooked.
One of our favorite insights into the personal reality of rogers is the ‘true cause’ of their ‘lashing out’. (Beyond the scope of this post. Suffice to say, for clarks, knowing that lashing out is about them and not us makes reading a couple a thousand posts well worthwhile.)
…anyway. The true prompt for this post was a (chance) occurrence this weekend. It was while watching one of our favorite youtube channels. Nothing remarkable about the content, the ‘plot’ of that particular episodes. (It is, after all, a channel devoted to excavation, as in large, earth-moving equipment.)
That said, in the course of watching, we saw an example of one of the three predominant worldviews in a person. Feeling less than confident in our writing skills, the first thought was to simply link it and say, ‘Do you see that?!!?’
But then again, we realized that not all Readers are sufficiently fluent in the this thing of ours.
So, our take-away.
There was a person in this episode (not appearing in earlier posts). And it was not even what the person said or, (as we go at length in these posts), how he said it. It was about his physical presence, i.e. how he moved. The fun of this insight was how it prompted us to find synonyms for what we saw. a scott in motion.
the first thing that comes to mind is naturally, ‘quickness’ and ‘decisiveness’. It was one of those, once you see it, you can’t un-see it.
Everything, (about the person’s physical presence), was deliberate. And, no, not carefully considered or studied. Simply deliberate.
Alacrity was one of the first words. Unhesitatingly was the first adverb.
damn! that was a fun moment. to see the Wakefield Doctrine in motion.



A right busy little (Scott) bee, eh?
I like the image of the leaping dog. Do dogs have predominant worldviews? My guess: Yes.
Will, if you don’t mind, use this Comment to launch tomorrows post to further the discussion
