Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [a Rosetta and the Sophomore Six]

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.

Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.

Previously…

Prompt word:

VOW

A young man, of indeterminate age, sat on the edge of the king-sized bed in a Ritz-Carlton hotel suite, staring at the room service cart.

“Despite the best minds of past generations holding Dante in the highest of esteem, he totally missed the boat on his Circles of Hell: an eternity of mornings without coffee, cigarettes and, unless I’m mistaken, fresh Pain au Chocolat.”

A slender female hand slithered out of a 666 ct linen sheet cave and two fingers, with five hundred dollars of decorations on the nails, waggled at the Sophomore.

“Tobacco. Caffeine. In that order; do it and I vow to listen to your entire psycho-temporal critique of Signore Alighieri’s religious acid trip, aaiight?”

Prompt word:

VOW

“So what’s the most useful insight into the Order of Lilith that you can give me?”

Leanne lead me, through the miasma of college hormones and ambition, across the quad to the Pavement Coffee House at the Smith Center where we confronted the social challenge faced by patrons of sidewalk cafés where round tables are deployed; the strength of the partnership element of most marriage vows is often the first to crack while decided where to sit.

Still standing to my right, she said, “If this were a first date and, for god knows what reason, I wanted to impress you, …and I was in a Zen mood, my answer would be ‘Mu’”

I was not surprised when the chairperson of the Department of Cultural Semiotics and Advanced Anthropology pulled out a chair and nodded for me to sit; I sat.

Without a word, Leanne walked away; in a far shorter time than one might expect, given the coffee shop was in Harvard Square and it wasn’t July, she returned with a cardboard tray holding two coffees and three Pain au Chocolat.

She sat; “Any other questions?”

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

Before we continue our discussion of scotts that began in yesterday’s post, a word about the more subtle appreciation of the principles (and personalities) of the Wakefield Doctrine.

Before we continue from Misky‘s Comment, consider the following, (cue Al Pacino, ‘This is our gift to you’), description of a clark (from our WIP ‘Blog Dominion’):

‘Tom was one of those people who managed to maintain a crippling dependency on the approval of others without, somehow, surrendering any autonomy.’

cool right?

And now to our scottian friends

A right busy little (~~Scott~~ scottian*) bee, eh? I like the image of the leaping dog…

Very much on-target. We always had/have fun with the metaphorical social paradigm of the dog, (especially a puppy) for the carefree, live-in-the-now relationship that defines the predominant worldview of the Predator (scott).

But you’re all AP Readers in this the mid second decade of the 21st Century right?

Hey! You hypo-youthful Readers!

Remember the rare treat of a film in stead of a regular class? What was not to like? The projector clickety-clacking and… and! the lights out In a classroom. (You could see the corridor all lit up, but inside, as dark as a movie theatre.)

Today, Readers we have a film (video). It shows a scott (with a couple of rogers). This is not a test. Just rely on your instincts. (ok, one hint: the two guys in brown not doing so much? Disregard them. Also, doesn’t matter what anyone is saying. This is a visual thing.)

Have fun.

Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

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

Funny how some of the useful and fun insights afforded by the use of the Wakefield Doctrine as an additional perspective on the world around us may seem, at times, as totally serendipity.

Being a clark, we have no problem with making that statement. (After all, we’re not rogers) lol

And so, this is where the more advanced practice in the use of the Doctrine, is observed. It is not as simple as seeing a person give credit to another for something or other. It is how this giving credit manifests. And…and to make it even more intriguing, it, (the determination of another’s predominant worldview through a singular observation), comes down to ‘how it feels’. As the observer, not the actor.

And so, our point? The more involved we allow ourselfs to be, (in the perspective of the Wakefield Doctrine), the more we are capable of appreciating in the world around us. Like music and art, the more we know, the more we hear and see.

And, of course, a bit of luck never hurts. A chance observation allowing a level of detail that otherwise might be overlooked.

One of our favorite insights into the personal reality of rogers is the ‘true cause’ of their ‘lashing out’. (Beyond the scope of this post. Suffice to say, for clarks, knowing that lashing out is about them and not us makes reading a couple a thousand posts well worthwhile.)

…anyway. The true prompt for this post was a (chance) occurrence this weekend. It was while watching one of our favorite youtube channels. Nothing remarkable about the content, the ‘plot’ of that particular episodes. (It is, after all, a channel devoted to excavation, as in large, earth-moving equipment.)

That said, in the course of watching, we saw an example of one of the three predominant worldviews in a person. Feeling less than confident in our writing skills, the first thought was to simply link it and say, ‘Do you see that?!!?’

But then again, we realized that not all Readers are sufficiently fluent in the this thing of ours.

So, our take-away.

There was a person in this episode (not appearing in earlier posts). And it was not even what the person said or, (as we go at length in these posts), how he said it. It was about his physical presence, i.e. how he moved. The fun of this insight was how it prompted us to find synonyms for what we saw. a scott in motion.

the first thing that comes to mind is naturally, ‘quickness’ and ‘decisiveness’. It was one of those, once you see it, you can’t un-see it.

Everything, (about the person’s physical presence), was deliberate. And, no, not carefully considered or studied. Simply deliberate.

Alacrity was one of the first words. Unhesitatingly was the first adverb.

damn! that was a fun moment. to see the Wakefield Doctrine in motion.

TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the weekly grat bloghop, the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT).

Below is our list of the people, places, things, events and dogs that have elicited a state of gratitude at one time or another

1) Phyllis

a very young chodsky pes. (Una, the 3rd of our three dogs)

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) work is a challenge, as are most of the more interesting aspects of life. the Instagram thing (the reels, pretty much are our primary foray into the toxically youthful world of social media) are coming along. Stop by. kind of a Post but shorter. (ikr? soul of wit, yo)

here’s a link to my real estate agent page on the Facebook (the only place I could find that lets one watch our reels.)

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

6) the cold has moderated but the pond is still frozen

7) technology for all of the above including the canines who, with the exception of Ola were found online. In the case of Una, we were totally dependent on technology, specifically google translate, as the breeder was located in the Czech Republic. Which, for a pleasant change, she (the breeder) spoke as little English as se understood Czech.

8) something, something

9) and… a Husky
