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

Good Morning, class.

New Readers? Please open your, ‘Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine’ booklets that you received at orientation and read quietly to yourselfs.

Today’s post is very much AP Doctrine.

A topic, hell, a thesis has been suggested by our Friend cai. Her Comment:

Rogers and Scotts are wary of bloggers trying to promote bloghops. I have to search for my herd.

Thanks! cai

This Comment embodies a number of opportunities to advance our understanding and subsequent practice (of) the additional perspective on the world around us (and the people who make it up) that is the Wakefield Doctrine.

where to begin….where to begin…

What we believe we know about our correspondent is their goals/methods to solve a problem using the Doctrine:

First cai feels she is a roger (“I have to search for my herd”) ok, nothing(ish) wrong with being a roger. (lol)

In the spirit of our Herd Member friends, lets get all bullet-point on this bad boy/girl

• first, though, one of the original ‘Rules’ of the Wakefield Doctrine: you are the only true authority for designating your predominant worldview. no one can compel another to accept an assignment of (one of) the three personality types. that said, it is common practice to name others for the purposes of education, illustration and edification. these people, usually celebrities, are not in the room at the time
• we accept cai’s self-designation
• the unspoken challenge here is huge! this Comment/Question/Statement of Personal Reality is in writing. In a very real sense that makes it simpler, if not easier, to parse
• everyone! take out your three phrase books (“I think they’re speaking a language I don’t understand” and “What the fucks the matter with these jamokes?!! oh, yeah I get it… sure, I know that word!! This is fun!” and “What’s wrong with these people? Wait. A. Minute. They think their bunch of words is a language. First thing is organize the nouns and verbs and participles. Then we can help them understand the Right way to speak!“)
• ok… this horse (Jument, Equus, Caballo. 馬) is totally beaten into the ground
• lets leave off with a few Doctrine tools for determining predominant worldviews… nah, lets go with our single most favorite and efficacious one

Ask the person the following question. Note: this can be done in writing or in person. The latter is preferable as you can see their reaction in real-time and know if’n they’re trying to game the system. The former, (in writing), is still useful but requires a higher level of Doctrine understanding. Their written response will tell us what they really think/do/feel. In fact, when dealing with communicating through a Comment/Reply format there is a single insight that will always indicate a roger on the other side of the interaction. Being way, way advanced a Doctrine insight/tool, it is available only by email. Not as a Comment/Reply

The Question:

How much is two plus two?

Answer key in the first Comment here (later) today.
