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

‘Open Book (oh boy!) Essay Questions (aww shit!) Doctrine Summer School Pop-Quiz’

Two assertions:

clarks are crazy, scotts are stupid and rogers are dumb

clarks are heartless, scotts are cruel and rogers are mean

(We good so far?)

For Readers who might claim AP status in these, the four Doctrine posts of each week, you will do well to consider if you can sense/see/feel the intrinsic harmony among the above pair of triplets.

New Readers? You have the advantage. You are not yet burdened with an understanding (complete/comprehensive or not) of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine. And with that freedom, you are welcome to: lol, wtf?!?! ‘oh, I clearly made a mistake by coming here‘.

Supplementary Material (the Book in Open Book):

the three predominant worldviews are:

• clarks (the Outsider) know they’ve missed a critical lesson of Life and, with just a hint, a partial list and/or inference, can re-assemble this information and use it to become a ‘real’ person. …before anyone important notices
• scotts (the Predator) live to act and, in action, express themselves. it’s not what you do, it’s how loudly you do it
• rogers (the Herd Member) confident in their understanding of the right order of life and the world, will, purely for extra credit, share the insight

Each of these three exist in a personal reality that conforms, supports and is natural to a certain relationship (between you and the world around you). Developing a social style/interpersonal strategy appropriate to the world, (as you experience it), you have the right personality type for what you’re up against.

Everyone does everything at one time or another. The world, (aka reality), is what it is…for you. If you know the world around you is organized and quantifiable, good thing you’re a roger! Otherwise you might forget where you put things or, worse, mix them up.

Question: Among the three predominant worldviews, why are the characterizations (above) different for each and what does that tell you about how they might experience: standing with you, across the street from a very popular and very busy restaurant at noon on a Summer’s Monday?
