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

Good week of Practical Application Doctrine posts, no?

In Monday’s post we recall¹ that clarks are born old. The takeaway being: ‘it’s ok to relax and give yourself a break from the stress, but being old is not the worst thing’. (Ask any young scott in troubke for driving their initials into the grass of the high school football field or answering the questions to a weekly test she had not a clue the answers were…in lipstick). We’re just saying, the older (i.e. accrued birthdays) we clarks get, the less inclined we tend to indulge in frivolity (for frivolity’s sake and fun, too. you remember fun, right?)²
Tuesday: a fun little RePrint on the topic of scotts.³

Wednesday’s post, well, you see the photo at the top? the three people? It is said, that with a good enough heart and the willingness to throw off the chains of reason, why-can’t-you-just-be-not-so-strange-for-once and/or be reasonable, you could re-create the whole of the Wakefield Doctrine on the basis of the image alone.

No! Really! We believe that and if you’re still reading, you do as well (ok, maybe not stand up and say it, but there is a little, quiet(ish) voice in your head saying, ‘There is something so familiar about those three.”

So, here’s the thing. With a certain degree of discretion, tell ever one to come here and read the Wakefield Doctrine. (Not such a wild suggestion, given that Readers are clarks or scotts and rogers with a significant secondary clarklike aspect. Discretion is kinda mostly all of valor.

1. the thing about this Wakefield Doctrine? It allows that, while the relationship we maintain with the world around us designates our ‘personality type’, there is nothing inherent in the world of one personal reality and not the others. What that means is that when, as so often we do, look to theories and understandings of personality to change, develop and improve the quality of our ‘tenure’ we have nothing to learn.

…but everything to remember, aka accept

2. current post excepted

3.  yes, in the back, Miss M? Well, not to spoil it for your classmates, but no, we don’t think we’re not being fair…scotts are, well, just easier to write about.
