Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Full Disclosure: Started with the thought, ‘Let’s past the FAQ page in here.’ Pasted and then, read. Damn! This Page needs some Updating! The blog ambition peeked around a forgotten corner, her mascaraed face at first scary-as-hell and then, as so often happens with immature love, inspired me to think, ‘Yeah, I could do this…’
She wasn’t done with us, though. “Why not post the original and then edit using a blue type? Don’t remember how? Go back to the old posts… find the html. You can do this. I know you can.”
No.
It did not work as I’d hoped. (Which, not for nothin’ is a topic for a future Doctrine post. Or perhaps a clark newsletter.).
Of course, we’re out of time. (Tuesdays have always been a bit on the sparse side, timeistically-speaking)
Still like the idea. But gonna keep it simple. Strike-throughs and new wordage indicated by an additional/nested blockquote.
btw. written 2009 The majority of the edits will, naturally, reflect the development of how the Doctrine manifests.
FAQs
I think sometimes I am (a scott) then other times I must be (a clark). Whats up with that?
You’re a clark.Well, possibly. What the Answer was meant to suggest is that the Interlocutor is most likely a clark with a significant secondary scottian aspect.
Hey, wait you can’t be that sure on the basis of one question!
Yes I can. (I’m a clark)
ha ha
The question you should be asking is, ‘why does it seems that sometimes we are one form, other times others’. And the answer is that we have the potential of all three, we just get in the habit of seeing the world one characteristic way, i.e. clark, scott or roger.Welll, not precisely. We all do have the potential to establish a relationship with the world around us associated with one of the three predominant worldviews (clarks, scotts or rogers). But since we lock into one (and only one) of the three, the development of our social strategies and inclinations reflect one and only one.
Is there any scientific basis for the Wakefield Doctrine?
No. (see the ‘About’ page.)
When I read this site, it seems like there is really only one person writing. Can that possibly be true? What happened to the collaborative thing.
Nothing.
I thought this was a FAQ pages, I don’t see all that many Questions.
…I’m waiting for a question… ‘what part of ‘Frequently asked questions’ are you brainiacs missing? There would be useful information if some of you scottian adhd cases or you middle-of-the-herd rogerian mouth-breathers would conquer your fear of anything that doesn’t already have a DYNAMO brand embossed label stuck to this blog letting you know that it was within your admittedly limited range of initiative and realise that you would not be struck down by Jethro were you to actually reach out and turn on your computer and asked a question.
ok, we were having a day at the time this was originally written. In our defense, we were still learning to crawl (or claw) before be able to run. Writing was new to us. (It was such a different time in the blogosphere, though being new on the scene, we had little to create a context of appreciation.)
Will there ever be new FAQ questions?
Yes, yes there will.
I heard that you have been doing this for nearly a year, what have you learned about the Wakefield Doctrine that you did not know when you started?
Which part of your statement are you calling a question? Rather than wait for you to move your lips as your try to re-phrase the question, I will answer this way. The Wakefield Doctrine appears to have an appeal beyond my immediate circle of friends, in fact, it appears to have sufficient appeal to out-weigh my meager writing skills. By presenting the Doctrine in a blog, the virtue and value of this thing is put to the test. And it seems to be passing that test.
What a well-thought out question.Still a bit defensive, are we? Well, that was written in July of 2009 (!!!) Yeah, since then… But, that said, we are as happy as is reasonable with the development of our ability to communicate by words and such. As to the appeal of the Wakefield Doctrine? We have little control over how others react, respond or otherwise relate to this thing of ours. As we have of late taken to refer to ourselfs as Curator, we appreciate every read/comment/reply we receive. like it was 2009
What?
Never mind, you would not get it. Other aspects that you would not get is that the Doctrine is proving itself to actually be an effective tool in aid of an effort to change life habits. (Given the unlikelihood of your comprehending this answer I will continue), and say that anyone reading this with a true desire to ‘change their life’* should read this blog and do whatever they must do to get actively involved in it. This includes, but is not limited to: writing Comments.
*Is it true that if I have to ask the question, I will perforce be unable to understand the question?
Yes.
ha ha (our favorite arrrrrghh reaction to an apocryphal exchange between a wise master/teacher and (an) ambitious but impatient pupil who is told, “If you have to ask the question, you are not yet ready to accept the answer.*)
*an interesting change in how we relate this old chestnut. probably reflects some of the changes we’ve been gifted by courtesy the Wakefield Doctrine and it’s Readers
