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

So you have more ‘friends’ who are rogers than friends who are scotts and, not possible to accurately account for them…than clarks

Why would this be?

To start, statisticually, in any given population the ratios of the three predominant worldviews are: 69% roger 21% scott and 17% clark

(We good so far?)

For our purposes today we identify ‘friends’ as those people you might think of when, outside of the workplace, classroom, schoolyard or the interior of your parent’s car, you would trust with a personal secret and/or potentially embarrassing aspect of your private life.

According to industrial science experts, you’re more likely to have two other people in your car than four (other people).

So who are your friends?

From the perspective of the Doctrine it breaks down like this:

• clarks: 1.5 rogers and 1 scott
• scotts: at least 18 rogers and 1, maybe, 2 clarks
• rogers: rogers don’t have friends, they have a Herd.*  Not that there is anything wrong with that… the sense of belonging, relationship and fealty to others in (a) Herd is considered the equivalent (by rogers)

So get out there today and count the clarks, scotts and rogers who persist in hanging out with you.

Hey! We promised, at the beginning of this blog in 2009, that if you study and learn the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine you would be in a position to know more about the other person than they know about themselves.

…you’re welcome

*while rogers don’t have friends, they are friends of others (pretty much limited to clarks)
