the Wakefield Doctrine

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

(tonight we walk among the Herd…shhh)

The ‘Everything Rule’ notwithstanding, we can make the following observations:

clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel

when manifesting creativity, clarks are the only one to bring into being something that was/is/otherwise would not be; the creativity of a scott is to allow the other person to imagine they might have had a hand in bringing to the world something wonderful, and rogers, they are the Fabergé manipulators of the world in common (which explains why rogers in whatever art they may engage are the more successful. if popular success was the only measure.)

the Wakefield Doctrine offers a perspective that you would have/probably already noted (if you’re a clark), watched and enjoyed others become entertained by (a scott lives to live, not consume or otherwise deplete), rejected before fully-appreciating, (those rogers with insufficient secondary clarklike aspects)

more often than not, ‘its them, not you’

that said, the ‘them’ (in this contrived provocative statement) is also you (or rather, the ‘them’ in your life are almost (almost) entirely a function of the manner in which you relate yourself to the world around you and the people who make it up.

the Wakefield Doctrine is the simplest of toys/tools. you can’t break it. you can’t even ‘get it wrong’.

If you’re still reading, congratulations! You have a significant secondary clarklike aspect. enjoy! (the clarks knew that already)

Don’t worry about ‘getting’ the Wakefield Doctrine. It’s not a get. It’s more a ‘oh yeah, I see what you’re doing here. you won’t tell them, right?’

Absolutely.

mums the word

trick your friends into coming by and checking this thing out. natural selection at work. (the way young clarks, with the best of intentions, deluded themselves into thinking the world could be, and continued trying to maintain it. yet, you’re here.)

cool

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

In yesterday’s post we looked at the difference between clarks and rogers when it comes to what is often referred to as ‘Having a sense of direction.’

There is probably a productive line of inquiry in considering how the same quality/capability is manifested, which is the preferred term when dealing with examples of ‘the Everything Rule’. While this theme will be …deferred, for today, suffice to say, that path leads to the weirder side of the Doctrine.

… ok, but just a little, if for no other reason than we don’t want to get stranded out in the middle of a self-induced challenge to find and use a certain form of word (not sure if it’s a verb… no, it’s a verb) what can be inferred by this particular example of our ‘Internal Consistency Saving Rule’?

Not sure. As by now, we’re sure the Reader has concurred, the creativity has a definite relationship with the ability to visualize.

the Wakefield Doctrine the ego of the Introvert (aka ‘everyone does everything at one time or another’)

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

Hey!  New Readers!! Now that you’ve had time to read and understand the basic principles of the Wakefield Doctrine, lets start you off with a common comparison problem:

“…nearly every popular personality type system has a category labeled: ‘Introvert’  Here is the brief Quiz (which, if you don’t pass, may result in your not ever feeling successful …with any aspect of your life*). The Quiz:   a) why is it everyone likes to believe that they are an ‘Introvert’ and 2) why is the Wakefield Doctrine vastly superior to nearly every one of these other personality theories, on the matter of ‘Introversion’? …Times up!! (ha, ha… of course, time’s not up clark!! you will never believe that it is possible that you have only one chance!)

Answers:

• a) nope! you have to answer this one, you’re the frickin people who run around, telling your friends that you’re an ‘Introvert’ on the basis of the results of the cool, new personality test that you found on ‘the Facebook’
• 2) ok… this one we’ll provide, (seeing how you didn’t read down this far, to see if this Quiz was for real or not).  the Wakefield Doctrine is wonderful in it’s approach to ‘Introversion’, because it does not ask the person taking the test if they believe the description (of ‘Introversion’) applies to them. As a result, there is no problem with whether, when confronted with the questions: ‘I am sometimes reluctant to speak before a plenary session of the UN Security Council” or ‘when making love I occasionally like to be in separate beds‘ or ‘my friends often are unable to pick me out of the police lineup‘, we can answer:  ‘Never’  ‘Sometimes’ or ‘Are you kidding me?!?!’  The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that the behavior labeled ‘Introversion’ is available to and manifested by all three personality types, that it is how the individual ‘relates themselves to the world around them’, that makes a person Introverted. Now, the first time Reader of the Doctrine might say, “those clarkpeople!! they’re Introverts because they mumble and have no eye contact and can’t seem to sit up straight in a chair and when you’re trying to put a move on one of them, even when you know that they’re totally into you, somehow you find yourself having a heartfelt conversation about the Peloponnesian War or the Secrets of the Rosicrucians!” clarks exhibit many of the characteristics of an introvert, but they will not remain un-noticed a second longer, once they decide that they have something to contribute. The first time Reader might say, “how can those scotts be introverted?? no damn way, they’re totally out in the front of the room.”  True, (most of the time), but scotts have a way of withdrawing that is indicated by the tone of their shouting/joking/hitting-upon-ing.  This is simple misdirection, much as a mother lion might leave the cubs under a bush, run at the much larger predator stalking them and then head off in entirely a different direction, drawing attention away from the bush. An injured or overly tired scott will exhibit this as a form of Introversion.  and rogers?  when they are feeling off or are suffering, they will simply find something in you to cause you discomfort, which will serve to take the attention off themselves… hiding in pain-sight plain sight,

Study up binyons, new Readers! There will be more quizzes and tests and exams and such.

Experienced Readers? yeah, we ran out of time yesterday…and we’re kinda up against it again today!  But, seeing how you guys are so damn adept, here’s a couple of insights:

do not be concerned with the questions: is this worthwhile, will anyone notice that I have done this, does this make up for… (anything)

do be (very) concerned with the questions: is this something that I can feel satisfied with, does this satisfaction start and end with me, do I care if anyone notices

 

* ha ha  just kidding, you’ll be successful with some aspect of your life…. you know, if you’re a roger, you’ll always be successful (as far as what you’ll tell anyone in earshot.. of course, at night, when you can’t smother your mind in reading, coerced love-making and/or compulsive stamp-collecting, you might wish you had studied harder, but then you’ll recall how poorly the blog appeared to be written and relax with a session of grading the quality of wool of sheep jumping a fence.  scotts? satisfied with their lives?  ha! ain’t no time to go looking for some kind of standard to measure up to!! gotta keep moving!)
