Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
As promised in yesterday’s Reader’s Suggested Topic Doctrine Post.
In that post, we asserted, “The shortest path to determining one’s predominant worldview is to interact with them in real time. First of all, the eyes…”
So while we are unable to travel to Manchester, England, England (across the Atlantic Sea) we offer the next best thing: movie scenes!
Show don’t tell, binyons!
We do want to offer a Language Advisory before rolling the footage.
While no longer as scandalous and/or offensive as some words once were, we are, after all, dealing with scotts.
(lol… no, Misky, we know that this doesn’t imply that you’re not a ‘real’ scott. Frank, if you’re in a public(ish) place or, god-forbid in the company of friends and fambly, ya might want to go ahead and mute the sound and think, ‘the Everything Rule’ is a Rule, not a Law and P? Take Notes. (And, in answer to your follow-up question to your questions to yourself, ‘Why can’t an actor be the same Doctrine personality type as the roles they play? Have fun with it. You can’t get this thing wrong, it’s a universal truth.’)
Probably should wait for Qs until after y’all have had a chance to viddy the clips.
Show of the three predominant worldviews. In a pairing of:
scott/roger
clark/scott
(and finally)
a clark and a scott (and a roger)

What?
No, in this case, i.e. matching the captioned predominant worldviews to the character in the video, there is such a thing as ‘getting it wrong’. Everyone, except the random visitor clicking into the Doctrine by accident, will be graded on their answers. (Totally optional to Comment, ‘a course.)
but, best not get it wrong.
Do have fun! If you haven’t seen these clips before, we’re excited for you. You can just imagine the joy and delight your humble Curator felt when first viewing these. (‘specially the the second clip. DeNiro’s voiceover! We were, omg! Have Nicholas Pileggi and Scorsese been secretly visiting the Wakefield Doctrine??!?! )
lol
About clarkscottroger
From those clips, I think I now have a good idea of the scott personality. If I should ever say, “Today, I think I’ll be a scott,” recalling these clips should give me reason to reconsider.
ikr?
but serially, often the best illustration of a subjective quality is a caricature. Not that a reasonable person would say ‘Hey, that’s a bad drawing! They don’t really look like that!” But an exaggeration is a good teacher. It is up to the pupil to distill the essence.
and like ‘the other two’ a scott is not a ‘bad’ personality type. (but are total fun…as long as you have bail money with you lol)
Historical insight: in the early days of this blog there were those who took offense at the term ‘Predator’ and ‘Member of the Herd’ (no one criticized ‘Outsider’…’cause like, no kidding. But the fun of this thing is that those who participate and ‘get it’ have the degree of intellectual/creative self-confidence to laugh and work with the fun behavioral metaphor of the three predominant worldviews. aka personality types.
appreciate the Commentation
A proper predator doesn’t rely on others; they bring their own wad of cash, or at least a credit card. Why? Because when the scottian woman shouts out at Burger King, “Milk shakes and chips are on the house,” suddenly everyone wants to be friends. And the Clarklike type is probably contemplating if that includes ketchup, and the rogerian is fetching napkins for everyone. (laughing) I prefer mayonnaise to ketchup, personally.
