Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
What fun synchronicity can be!!
Below is the start of Wednesday’s post. It was written before we posted today’s post. Fine.
Friend of the Doctrine Frank was kind enough to include the Day’s Secret Word, achronologic in his Comment.
There’s a non-linear connection here, don’cha think?
Yesterday’s post got us a question lodged in our editorial/rhetorical head:
When looking at photos of people you know, why is it that the young version is easier to identify than the old version? Not to put too fine a point on it, we’re talking about early adolescents sitting around looking at photos of classmates from when they were, like, five or ten years old. (Hint, the eyes are most often the tip-off).
ok. we all remember doing that, like it was yesterday.
But now! Fast-forward to a fifty (ok, assuming your Curator is providing the top limits of hypo-youthfulness), lets call it a thirty-fifth year class reunion. Good luck identifying your classmates, yo.
There ya go.
And to tie this to Frank’s involuntary trigger of the past: ‘achronologic’ is the adjective most frequently associated with the Herd Member.
Why?
’cause rogers exist in the (personal) reality of emotion. and even a third grader will tell you, “emotion is ‘non-rational, man.”
(ok, provided this hypothetical 8-to-9 year old person is a clark)
Disagree? Have a different take on our conclusion? Feeling there’s another way to frame the question? Have at it. (Be sure to document your opinion to the pertinent elements, aspects or inferences found in the actual Wakefield Doctrine. Doing so makes it so much easier to retort, ‘What are ya. crazy??! Did you even crack the book?!! Cliff Notes we’ll even accept them as a primary source to support an assertion.” (lol..jes kidding. your predominant worldview serves as an inviolable imprintatur, lettre de transit

The photo makes me think that you have been very busy.
I should have dated it. A number of years ago
Hmm, that’s a very deep hole, I believe. Still, the antics will begin… and soon in the SSC&B!
this is very true
Knowing Aurelia and her luck… She would fall into that hole….
lol
Gracious, what are you planting you need a hole this deep? ;)
