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

Let’s wrap up the week with a second Six and at the same time tie down the most productive insights from our series on personal reality.

Thanks out to Frank and Misky, Cynthia and, as always, Mimi for their Commentation this week that served to keep us focused(ish) on the very subjective topic of personal reality and the Wakefield Doctrine.

The notion of reality being personal, while not original to these pages, has been a linchpin to the learning and application of the principles supporting the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. Call it an aid to the deployment of imagination (in a well-stirred disbelief suspension).

We began with a proposal of the role (and function) of (a) personal reality.

Then a proposed encounter of the three predominant worldviews and asked of the Reader to imagine how each experienced the scenario.

Finally, a suggestion (from your Curator) of the scene before each of the three.

And, now today, in conclusion:

For the purposes of maximum enjoyment of the insights afforded by the Doctrine’s three ‘personality types’ and, secondarily, to provide some intellectual rigor (lol) to our modest alternative perspective, we will say:

you know how we describe the perfect personality type as being the best compensation for/ strategy to succeed in a social environment, that we all, as very young people, develop in response/reaction/reconciliation to being an Outsider, a Predator and a Herd Member?
if you’re feeling confident in your ability to maintain your bearings, consider this: for the child who has the relationship with the world around them we call Outsider, the world (and the people who make it up) is an Outsider’s world. The character of this world isn’t imposed by our young human… the people view him/her as an Outsider (or in Doctrine parlance, ‘a blue monkey’)… actively, without precondition. As is only natural. For the split second your imagination allows you, think of a personal reality encompassing reality.. The world is an Outsider(‘s) world. (As with Predators (scotts) and Herd Members (rogers).)

Cool right?

(ok…a little horrify. but hey, we’re all past that stage and have our perfectly (suited to reality) worldviews all kinds of practiced and such, to the point that we hardly even have to think of it.)
