Tuesday (this time for ‘real’) -the Wakefield Doctrine-

October 1, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

Interesting topic today: creativity.

We’re totally willing to bet that the majority of Readers here, at the moment, are nodding and thinking, sub-rationally, ‘Gimme more’.

…except for one. Didn’t quite set that up properly. We did mean Readers, of course, But meant to infer the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine. Which only makes sense. This is a Wakefield Doctrine ‘See-an-Say’ post!

As in, Mondays, Tuesdays and, sometimes Wednesdays, we present, explain and otherwise hold-forth on the in-and-outs, ups-and-downs, whys-and-wherefores of everyone’s favorite personality theory.

…where were we?

Creativity. Probably worth noting that, on the first page of looking up the word, all but two were ads for something to do with ways to acquire, increase, enhance and/or monetize creativity (or a reasonable facsimile lol)

Hey! Can’t discuss qualities of the three personality types without mentioning ‘the Everything Rule’. Which states, ‘Everyone does Everything at One Time or Another’.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

This excellent Rule reminds us that just as the three personality types are not about ingrained and/or innate traits, drives and style of interpersonal interaction. Everyday life is full of things to be interested in/ decide to pursue a career in/ inspired to a Calling and otherwise what one does when one is left their own devices.

And as our styles/social strategies/personality types are but products of our relationship with the world around us and the people who make it up, so too will the manifestation of talent reflect the tenor and tone of one’s personal reality.

So we can say:

clarks are the genuinely creative ones as they, in no small part due to their status as Outsiders, bring into reality that which is new, unique and without precedent. you ever encounter the expression ‘Ahead of their time’? clarks
scotts force of personality as palette and brush, sheer Will as stone block and chisel. Want to change the path? A scott will be the one to get everyone to hang a left
rogers are interesting. in them, creativity manifests as ‘inspired re-assembly’. that which is old and forgotten is re-configured to modern standards. think: anything with commercial success and popularity. From S King to K. Burns, their creativity is that which the Herd has longed for but wasn’t quite aware of until they see it.

all we have time for… submit your questions/objections/corrections in the comment section below. (Not to worry. Remember yesterday’s post? We’ll know which of the three you are by your comment.)

Monday (that would be Tuesday) -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 30, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

Open your pages to where we left off last week, please.

what?

Fine. Put your bookmarks into Page Wednesday.

Given we’ve hinted at a topic in our post title, lets go with:

With a proper understanding of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine you will be a position to know more about the other person than they know about themselves.

It’s true.

ok, not to get all dramatic (aka rogerian) but we just pulled ourselfs out of a shortcut to posting this post. aka RePrint post.

Don’t get us wrong, it was a good ‘un. And made sense (for the early years, that is), but, if the truth be told, more often than one would think, we write to learn and practice this here personality theory here.

So, how is it we can know another person better than they know themselves?

When you are engaged with:

clark know that they will not tell you everything, as knowledge (and his slutty half-sister, information) is the only coin-of-the-realm they believe they have and, besides, revealing all about a person, place or thing invites scrutiny
scotts they act with out (necessarily) thinking, rely on their instincts and often battle their prey drive; any inquiry should be brief, succinct and lead to action or actions, hopefully involving chasing and retrieving
rogers words are nothing more than fricken coat hangers (mostly the cheap, dry-clean type with a non-slip cross piece, if you see the equivalency of anything close to a all-wood high quality hanger, like from a custom clothing shop, you have them at their most vulnerable. (Ain’t no time to indulge in R. King)

OK!

Tune in tomorrow when we talk: Creativity and three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine

Future Friday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 28, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the most excellent of photo-prompt bloghops, the Unicorn Challenge.

Hosted by jenne and ceayr the rules are quite simple: using the photo/image as your inspiration, write a story using no more than 250 words.

[Note for those of us who enjoy research. If you chase the lyrics, search for Harry Dacre. Eschew the much more famous/popular/admittedly-more-enjoyable version by Nat King Cole. For the moment at any rate.]

“Well, you’ve made your bed, now you have to sleep in it.”

My wife’s aunt repeated the admonition every Christmas we spent with her family, in our all-too-brief marriage.

The old woman smiled when we were presented, like marginal royalty to a decrepit countess. Always in the same sweat-worn tapestry chair by the grand fireplace, she would smile. That was the worst part. A mottled-purple moue, a dying anemone grasping for offal in a brackish tidal pool.

My wife, however, was grace personified. She treated everyone with the kind of natural respect that transformed the jealous into charitable and mean-spirited into kindly.

What’s got me pedaling now, in broad daylight no less, was how the old lady would hold my wife’s hand while locking eyes with me. In an irony possible only to the landed-gentry, passing years had been petrified the family wealth into the antiques that filled the old house. With her passing, the current monetary value of the estate was now available to anyone with the proper legal documents and a moving truck.

Now a widower, I became invisible and a non-threat.

They saw me riding back towards the house, even as the procession drove to the cemetery. Derision for the obviously grief-addled man, blinded the most possessive of the family. Their laughter, behind black velvet curtains of the limo, ate everything human about them, including curiosity. Which might have posed the question: ‘Where is Auntie Em and why is that stupid man riding such an odd bike.”

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer, do!
I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you!

I will stand by you in “wheel” or woe, Daisy, Daisy!
You’ll be the bell(e) which I’ll ring you know! Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You’ll take the “lead” in each “trip” we take, Then if I don’t do well;
I will permit you to use the brake, My beautiful Daisy Bell!

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 25, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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 and defined by its numerically-eponymous title.

Prompt word:

WRECK

“I don’t know, I think I wrecked my chances with her.”

“What the hell you talking about man; you went out for breakfast after work so, a) how could you screw that up and, this is a mandatory follow-up question, call it 2), exactly how do you define ‘your chances’?”

It has been said that friendship at the stage of life between immaturity, i.e. late-teens and college years, (provided it’s a Liberal Arts program), and for lack of a better term, ‘practical maturity’ are surely the most intimate of relationships; when true passion is the measure, friendships trump romance nearly every time.

“Well, we talked until three in the morning and she laughed at my jokes.”

Laughing, and thoroughly overlooking the irony, the more experienced of the two friends at the coffee shop smiled with genuine affection, “Dude, given your amateur status, her laughter, though a simulacrum of actual making out, gets you an ‘A’ for sincerity and an ‘A-‘ for momentum, so why the long face?”

“Well, I let her out at her car, drove to the edge of the parking lot and watched in my rearview mirror to make sure her car started; but I don’t think she realized that; oh man, your face says it all… I totally blew it.”
