TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

May 25, 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). First published in 1983, the TToT has been the preeminent Grat blog since arriving on the scene. And, as you’re sure to guess, this week’s TToT is a celebration of the moving-threshold-of-a-body’s-capabilities. To move stuff. And, as Mimi confirmed, we’re almost ready to submit a paper in support of the under-reported fact that the earth’s gravitational field has not only increased in what amounts to the blink-of-an-eye (geological time) but has also directly altered the density of certain parts of the earth such as flooring (op. cit. mimi 5/2023) while paradoxically-decreasing the density of certain others, i.e. soles of the feet, and the latissimus dorsi (et. al.)

Theses are interesting times.*

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Unicorn Challenge.

Hosted by jenne and ceayr, each week they get all TAT on those of us what have a fiction-writing jones and say, “Tell us what you see, (or dream or regret or fear-above-all), in this photo and keep it under two hundred and fifty words.”

 

There once was a man named Diogenes

Who viewed Man’s nature, with dis-ease

With his truth-telling lamp

He sat like a tramp

’til the cops said, “Move along if you please”.

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [a Café Six Part .05 ]

May 23, 2024 By

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

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

Hosted by Denise. Regulated by the Department of Sentenae Limitation, Ordinal Section

Prompt Word:

LIGHT

“Got a light?”

The tall, thin man offered something of a throwback 18th Century formal bow as he stepped up to the Gatekeeper outside the Six Sentence Story Café and Bistro.

The Gatekeeper complied, but not without the slightest hint of a interrogative arch of one dark eyebrow; the man with the unlit cigarette hastened to explain the occasion requiring portable fire.

“Well, earlier this evening, the Sophomore suggested there was an early point on my timeline when these,” the Proprietor held out his left hand, the white cylinder nestled in a reversed V-for-Victory gesture, “and I were inseparable”.

“Players, haven’t seen those in, like, forever; while I prefer my cigars, got nothing but props for the brand,” The Proprietor-slash-Heimdall grinned approval.

“Not for nothin’ Nick, was there a small but odd group of people on your line this evening, consisting of a stripper, a bodyguard, a short young woman with a homicidal vibe and a guy in blue tights?”

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine-

May 22, 2024 By

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

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

Hosted by Denise. Regulated by the Department of Sentenae Limitation, Ordinal Section, Chapter 6

Prompt Word:

LIGHT

“Light?”

“Yeah, thanks.”

The Night reluctantly accepted a new condition imposed on his dark dominion as Dawn metastasized upwards from the far horizon.

“Didn’t see You.”

“Not a problem, Samael.”

“Guess, oneness with the dark will have to take a backseat to Duality now that You’re insisting on a Beginning.”

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

(Reader: the clever post title mod above? A Bourbaki symbol.)

(New Reader: A lot, ‘specially when we’re grasping for a cogent theme)

damn!*

So, real quick”

A common question (and a lead-pipe cinch of an indicator of the interlocutor’s predominant worldview when phrased a certain way1) is:

What’s the best way to determine which of the three personality types I am?

Start by throwing out the, ‘no fricken’ way’ of the three predominant worldviews. There will be one. Of the remaining two, get all optometristic on comparing them. Remember, the basis of the Doctrine is that we experience the world as that of three characteristic relationships; the Outsider (clarks), the Predator (scotts) and the Herd Member (rogers). So go ahead and  imagine how they see the world. Like the dueling lens in an eye test. ‘Here is one. Now, the second lens. Is the first clearer than the second. (Move to another part of your day) Ok which is clearer, this…or this?

New Readers, when we say ‘clearer’ we mean: reasonable/sensible/consistent/’of course’/ whaddya trying to do here?!!  (Bonus: the Doctrine is, first and foremost, an additional perspective on reality. One more than one. By the mere act of trying this experiment, you’re a step ahead of a depressingly-large percentage of the population, i.e. those who insist there is ‘only one reality’.

Ok enough for a Tuesday morning.

Ask. We don’t mind.

 

* well, regular Readers won’t be surprised. (New Readers? No, not a criticism. In the world of the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine, the badge: ‘New Reader’ is not only worn with pride, but is afforded the highest of respect by one of the three personality types (Outsider/Predator/Herd Member)

  1. if you are inclined to respond to the question (implied or directed to you by someone conversant with the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine) with: “Geez, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I’m somehow a combination of the three. Not just one.” Then, as Jeff Foxworthy might say, ‘You might be a roger‘. But! Not to worry.
