Yes, this is a CSR class. Without a fake classroom or imaginary students. No window dressing of any kind. I guess George Clooney is on his own.
Today, I need to address a particular anomaly in the Doctrine that has had me rather at a loss for some months now. And to quickly touch on one of my favorite personal aspects of life in general; synchronicity. Because I had no sooner decided that it was time to finally begin writing a post that addressed that anomaly, when the damned thing fairly fell from the sky. I find myself, once again, astounded at the sense of presence of …something extraordinary. I just wish I had the presence of mind to get it, whatever it is, but alas…
I”ll be referring to the last post’s mention of an affinity that exists between clarks and scotts. After presuming that I had somehow uncovered something heretofore unknown in the annals of Doctrinism…. the very thing itself is casually mentioned in today’s post. Astounding and amazing. Sometimes the universe will just grab you by the neck and shake you around like a sock puppet, as if to say… you’ve sat on it too long, it’s time, now get on with it. Well, then.
I suppose that this affinity is pretty common discourse to clarks and scotts ( I have been calling it a symbiosis), but let me assure all of you; to rogers, it is quite occult.We simply don’t see it. Not to say we wouldn’t understand it, if illustrated. We just don’t have a nature that would necessarily notice it. I strongly suppose that this symbiosis is very much a second nature to clarks and scotts.
So what’s the big deal, you ask? Well, an understanding of this would greatly enhance a roger’s perception and therefore his practical application of the Wakefield Doctrine to any situation. It might clear up many a misunderstanding, and it might just save your life in the extremes.
At this point, I’m sure the purer scotts have shut this off to go get a sandwich, and there might be a camouflaged clark monitoring this from a distance. So I suppose that my reader’s circle is down to just the rogers. That’s fine, because those other ones already know this; and if you’re a roger at heart, then you don’t. So here it is. And you’re not going to like it.
The affinity/ symbiosis is based on a shared disdain for rogers. It is the common groundwork for all of their perceptions of rogers, and serves as the springboard to all their interactions with us. They each have a particular personal mythology that tends to define them as a clark or a scott. Nothing new there at all; you have your own too, and it leans you towards being more a roger than not. The critical difference occurs precisely here; theirs tells them that they are vastly superior to rogers. And that colors all of their interactions with us; they have it completely in common. We tend to be the shared object of derision, the obvious target.
By way of comparison, a roger would tend to a very eclectic view of this personal mythology business. We would go with an inherently pacifistic universal model in which clarks, scotts and rogers all live in a balance of power with a shared sense of respect. Diversity, man…
Well, #%*# that. It’ not real. While we’re busy singing ” We Are The World” and trying to figure out how to feed the planet, they’ve already got it solved. If they kill you,then they eat well for a few days, and screw the planet. Actually, to be specific; the clarks also have to eat, but don’t have the stomach for the kill. So they find a way to get the scotts to do it for them. Symbiosis.
That particular point brings me back to the original video clip ever used in this blog. That is a great example. ( Joe Pesci/ scott viciously attacks roger guy in bar, clark guy watches passively….remember?) Were there another roger there, he would have intervened to try to save the guy. But wait… there was someone else… who simply watched and waited. He’d gone to all the trouble to set that up, he certainly wasn’t going to prevent it by then. So you have a stereotypic scott killing a stereotypic roger, while a stereotypic clark stands by in complete silent assent. And there it is…the affinity.
This is the clip that the Progenitor scott actually objected so strenuously to ( and might very well have kept him from participating much). This occurred simply because he had already long since transformed into something other than a pure scott. I suppose I might have objected too; after all, you still have a dead roger in the end.
So, my little band of rogers….what does all this boil down to?
I just want you all to be aware of this, because they might be in your lives as spouses, co-workers, family; any number of things. But one thing they are decidedly not, in their own eyes; equals. They hold themselves to be far superior, and greatly entitled; their mythology tells them so. No amount of reasoning can alter that. So be very careful, and very diligent. They are predators, and they will persist. And should it ever come to dire straits, then do not sell your lives cheaply; fight them with all you have. They would expect us to be hesitant and intimidated; but often, a pack will break and run when confronted with singular courage. And if you’re not alone…then just open up the herd a bit, and let him in. He won’t believe his good luck, and then just… do what comes naturally.
In my next offering, I hope to explore this question, as a logical extension of the symbiosis; are scotts and clarks actually different creatures, or are they both just variations of a single entity? ( which means that our world premise is not based on three personality types, but really just two. The problem is- which two?) Food for thought.
