Wednesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

July 3, 2024 By

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

What about the any internal symmetry inherent in the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine?

Surely a question on ever one’s mind,

The three (predominant worldviews, aka characteristic style of relating to the world around one and the people who make it up are:

clarks (Outsiders), scotts (Predators) and rogers (Herd Members)

Reminder, yo. None of the three are bad. None of the three are good. All three represent a idealized whole person. Sorta.

Which is why looking at the an element common to all three (though manifested differently, of course) will gain us insight into our own personality type while providing hints at how to take advantage of certain qualities of ‘the other two’.

Hold on! Wait a minute! We’ve, somehow, almost forgotten a major holiday!

How major? Nothing less than: as-Thanksgiving-is-to-rogers (or) Halloween-to-clarks big, thats How….errr major.

Here in Oceania every mid-Summer we hold a celebration of… well, kinda like the Summer Solstice that every culture, (since Lilith walked out of the Garden), observes but with food and explosives. The 4th of July! (cue the fireworks, Mt. Vesuvius-backyard-charcoal-grills, strip-volley-ball-games),

anyway, we’re working on this week’s Six Sentence Story, so what say we Christmas Club this bad boy (you remember those, right?) with a RePrint (just check, this is, like totally-as-often-reprinted as the eponymous ‘Feast of St roger’s Day post’) Post!

From July 3rd 2012:

a chart providing the average shelf-life of ideas for Posts* …..the Wakefield Doctrine ( happy scottian Holiday!)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the personality theory that you can learn, understand and use today!! )

childhood memories involving  learning to become a better person:   …………………………… 6 hours
childhood memories involving learning bad habits and behavior:      ……………………………  3 days
childhood memories involving doing something publicly embarrassing to adults:    …………. 2 years
adolescent  fantasies   that result in being scarred for life:
(physically scarred): 3 years  (emotionally scarred): 5 years
workplace situations that result in receiving a raise:  ………………………………………………… 6 hours
workplace situations that result in being fired: ………………………………………………………..  3 months
workplace situations that result in being arrested: ……………………………………………………. 4 years
relationship maturity demonstrated in daily life:  ……………………………………………………..  1.4 hours
relationship immaturity demonstrated in public: ………………………………………………………  4 days
a Post trying to illustrate the ephemeral nature of creative ideas: ………………………………….. 75 minutes

Quick reminder about the Holiday tomorrow:  If you do not know that July 4th is one of the most scottian of holidays, then you need to write in one of the Comment boxes below 50 times

“scotts love loud noises, it lets them believe they can have an effect on the world“.

Seriously, picture the coming Holiday:

  • takes place at the height of the Summer season
  • eating and drinking to excess is encouraged
  • minimal clothing allowed in virtually all public places (including churches and hospitals)
  • outdoor sports activities including chasing frisbees, being dragged behind a boat and the use of explosive devices (such explosives, that were it December instead of July,  a visit from Homeland Security would be the immediate result)
  • …minimal clothing

So for you non-scotts reading this, three July 4th Survival Tips:

  1. stay indoors
  2. keep the lights off and the glow of the TV shielded from windows and doors
  3. turn up the air conditioning and ….wear extra clothes

We hope that helps.

Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘ a day without …. without the 10th letter of the alphabet

July 1, 2024 By

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

“Don’t worry! I’m an angel.   …baby

… who needs that fricken’ ‘G’ wannabe anyway?

We’re typing from our laptop.
At the start of a brand-new day.
Many wise words we wish to impart.
As long as they don’t start with a….

No, serially, we have no letter… (rhymes with ‘play’) No, not capital nor lowercase. We could. we suppose find one of the special characters to stand in for it. But, who needs it/her/him?

We suppose we could search for the etymology of this tenth letter in the alphabet. Maybe suss-out the original gender of the root word. (Smart money’s on it being a roger*)

…anyway.

Lets find.. hey about that year when we tried to be all, ‘You say everyone participates? That it’s the most popular group activity. Well, we guess we could try. Really appreciate being included and all…

‘J’ -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘jokes are the billboards on the road through our worldviews‘ and now with cows!!

April 11, 2015

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

You want to hear something funny?  (How many times have we all heard that threat?)  There is much to be aware of when it comes to jokes and the three worldviews that will serve us well  in our efforts to better understand the people in the world around us. Mostly that we can laugh. That, as the old saying reminds us, ‘…the capacity to make jokes is what separates man from ….women’  (bar ump bump!! )  no! wait! I kid women, but this is no laughing matter.

This is abundantly clear in the case of scotts.  scottian men are the best of joke tellers. (for them), jokes are the condiments, the way to spice up the prey.  (no!, seriously!  hear me out!)  Go to a party (or any other social gathering), see that group of people laughing?  at the center will be your scott and he will be telling jokes. not just any jokes! funny jokes. jokes that are nearly as funny in the ‘set up’, as they are in the punchline. And, if you stay long enough, you will see a curious thing happen. (Appropriate to the demographic of the people gathered around), the jokes of the scott will not only become funnier, they will become more… more outrageous, more scatological, more risqué (to borrow a word that will eliminate any doubts as to my own worldview). And, as we watch this group, you’ll see some people leave, offended by the jokes. and it matters not at all to our scottian joke teller. In fact, that’s kinda what he’s after. This telling of jokes to an audience at a social gathering illustrates a number of things about scotts: a) they are all about ‘being paid attention to’, 2) they are confident and c) they are looking to dominate their prey. And so the joke escalation continues until there is only a handful of clarks and maybe 2 rogers left.

(scottian females? oh, they’re funny too,  but on a much more retail basis. they don’t need to attract their prey by telling jokes, their prey walks up to them, (if they’re rogers, and they mostly will be, they’ll have a salt shaker in one hand and a bottle of A1 sauce in the other…lol), and hopes to be selected.  You’ve heard the expression: ‘like horseshoes and hand grenades?  that’s jokes telling as exhibited by scottian women and scottian men.)

Won’t even try to provide a video sample of a scottian joke teller

 

Well, we’d say something to the effect of how proud we are to have completed a Monday post despite the lack of a certain letter that will remain un… specified.

Final note: we were typically cryptic with our reference to rogers when talking about our ‘missing letter’. But, as anyone will tell you, if there’s something that puzzles you consider that it was put there by an agency that was grounded in one of ‘the other two’ predominant worldviews.

The problem with interpersonal communication is not in vocabulary, context or the other person wanting to yank yer chain. The problem, (and therefore, the solution), lies in determining the nature and character of the speaker’s personal reality, accepting the fact that if you both do not share the same one, (personal reality, aka predominant worldview i.e. personality type), then there’s some translating to be done. And as it happens, the Wakefield Doctrine happens to be a big-assed Michelin translator book-thingie.

* New Readers? Whoever said, “What about gender and the Wakefield Doctrine!!?!?” You are absolutely correct (scott)…. lol The Doctrine is gender-neutral. a clark is a clark (ain’t nothin’ as obvious as sex gonna get us to admit it!) a scott remains scottian (yeah, baby) and a roger is above all that chromosomal conceit, there are far more important values, (“Do we know you?”)

TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

June 29, 2024 By

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Foundered* in 1974 by the step-niece of C.S. Lewis and a small group of post-granulated theosophy students at the local college. Rhode Island College, located across the capital city from Brown University, (home, in locale, if not spirit to one Mr. Lovecraft), had it’s own underground of freethinkers, defrocked Rosicrucians and liberal arts majors so, fertile ground for a grat blog. Indeed, the scene was set for the TToT to be loosed upon an unsuspecting world, awaiting only the arrival of the internet.

1) Una

2) Phyllis. right, about. HERE

3) the Wakefield Doctrine Specifically, Grat #9

4) Project completed (Before and After photational proof)

5) the Six Sentence Story  Six Pic of the Week. ‘Doggie Smarts‘ by Mimi 

6 the Unicorn Challenge. Hey, Read this one!  ‘Not Just Dust‘  from co-host, jenne

7) (to) Meadow or Mow? Lastest photation.

8) something, something

9) Phyllis needed something notarized this weekend and we found a place in Westerly offering this quasi-judicial ritual. Upon entering the parcel delivery shop, it became immediately apparent that, in the sole employee present, we were dealing with a clark. Phyllis explained what it was we needed, he brought out his notary seal and placed it on the counter, so naturally I said, “I will give you five dollars extra if, in your backroom,  you have some sort of robe or wand or something to wear to enhance the process… you know, like the diploma scene in the Wizard of Oz.” This grat, tied to the Wakefield Doctrine (#3), is that I probably wouldn’t have tried this obvious bit of humor, had I not gained a greater understanding of how I relate myself to the world around me and the people who make it up.

(Being a clark, he could only smile in appreciation of  the beneficial effects of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine on a(nother) clark i.e.  your truly)

10) Secret Rule 1.3

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to ‘the Unicorn Challenge‘

A photo-prompt bloghop hosted by jenne and ceayr, it has the simplest of rules: keep it at (or under) 250 words.

This weeks ‘phoTAT’:

“…Il meglio

“…è l’inimico del bene”

“!?…Il meglio…”…Il meglio…meglio! meglio? meglio!!! “

“Il meglio è l’inimico del bene…

“…bene, bene.”

 

“Surely the doctors have a way to help, to stop, to even slow his decline?”

“No, nothing they’ve tried since his wife signed the committal papers. I can only imagine how hard it must have been on her, to watch his decline into madness, typing his fingers bloody sitting at an old computer, long after they unplugged it from the internet.”

“Surely treatments are available, it’s the twentieth-first century, for God’s sake!”

“Nothing has worked, the full spectrum of medication… nothing. Now he spends every waking hour here in the Day Room. The orderlies collect packets of sugar each morning. We let them believe we don’t know. They’ve formed a bond with him, little comfort to his family, though…”

“He had such promise. That blog of his, at least in the beginning when it was just about personality types, brilliant. Then he got infected.  Fictionaria writomania, I believe is what the admitting form lists as proximate cause.”

“…don’t go there.”

“But I could have stopped it, saved him even. But no, I had to say, ‘Your detective story has promise…’ damn that whole beta Reader conceit.”

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- Six2

June 26, 2024 By

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 there is but one rule: the story (inspired by the week’s prompt word) must be six sentences in length.

Prompt word:

FREQUENCY

“You’re a’scairt, that’s all you are.”

“No I ain’t!”

The two boys moved through the brush like grooms through layers of diaphanous veils and curtains securing their respective wedding nights; one slid careful hands, fingers soft pry-bars, and parted each leaf-clad branch in his path, the other, slightly older boy less taken by the beauty of flourishing wild cherry bushes equally the sting of green briars lying in wait.

The lakeshore clearing was an incidental rise of the earth; a root-knotted and ivy-greened path leading generations of neighborhood children to a betrothal chamber far from the protective (and jealous) eyes of parents and other adults; the term rite of passage is the kind of description conjured by one who has forgotten childhood, ‘the Swing’ was all anyone, of a certain age needed.

The water was dark and quiet, a flawed mirror as the sun sketched details at the whim of passing clouds, the tree, at the top of the rise, was everything the earth might be, were it possessed of a desire to experience flight and the rope hung straight, a make-shift pendulum measuring the passage of Summer.

The swing’s arc, invisible in stillness, was the ritual; the rope ,the sacrament and the frequency of its celebration measured in seasons and generations;

“Then you go first.” the boy grabbed wrist-thick rope; closing his eyes as a last defiant act in the face of fear, he ran until the earth set him free.
