Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Before we continue our discussion of scotts that began in yesterday’s post, a word about the more subtle appreciation of the principles (and personalities) of the Wakefield Doctrine.
Before we continue from Misky‘s Comment, consider the following, (cue Al Pacino, ‘This is our gift to you’), description of a clark (from our WIP ‘Blog Dominion’):
‘Tom was one of those people who managed to maintain a crippling dependency on the approval of others without, somehow, surrendering any autonomy.’
cool right?
And now to our scottian friends
A right busy little (
Scottscottian*) bee, eh? I like the image of the leaping dog…
Very much on-target. We always had/have fun with the metaphorical social paradigm of the dog, (especially a puppy) for the carefree, live-in-the-now relationship that defines the predominant worldview of the Predator (scott).
But you’re all AP Readers in this the mid second decade of the 21st Century right?
Hey! You hypo-youthful Readers!
Remember the rare treat of a film in stead of a regular class? What was not to like? The projector clickety-clacking and… and! the lights out In a classroom. (You could see the corridor all lit up, but inside, as dark as a movie theatre.)
Today, Readers we have a film (video). It shows a scott (with a couple of rogers). This is not a test. Just rely on your instincts. (ok, one hint: the two guys in brown not doing so much? Disregard them. Also, doesn’t matter what anyone is saying. This is a visual thing.)
Have fun.

Ah yes. I can almost hear myself asking those other two, “…why are you here?”
… although I’d pass on the microwave meal.
lol
the visual (illustration) of a scott was remarkable, jumped right off the screen… a lot of words that were not in the ‘playful puppy’ list (though that description remains quite apt)
the first word that jumped out at me was ‘alacrity’ then a bunch of adverbs that wanted to imply thoughtful (but, those were discarded, of course as a scott in not a think it out carefully then act, person)
here’s a view from a different angle: while the Everything Rule allows all three to do all things, there tends to be one that has a certain predisposition to excel at a given task, profession, avocation, hobby.
we all know that of the three scotts make ‘the best’ cops simply because chase and capture prey is in their metaphorical DNA
… if I had a choice and required surgery, out of the three predominant worldviews, I would pick a scott.
