Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Damn! almost forgot where I left this draft Post.
Might comment below this RePrint post. Or, maybe just push that badboy down the page and continue with whatever it is that we would say on this May day.
Ya know?
(Hey! Remind us to tell y’all about my musical superstition sometime)
How early is this post? Damn, hadn’t settled on the format yet. Interesting! (or not).
ok, ok, quick ‘in the narrative observation.
Once of the first totally remarkable effects of the Wakefield Doctrine on us was being comfortable with writing badly. Not that anything here (at least the posts that reference the Doctrine) is bad. Or, even badly written. (tho as the gaggle of attorneys I used to overhear back when in the course of work I spent some time in courthouses, might say, “I’ll stip to that…”) There is, imo, a difference between bad writing and badly written. We’ll accept the latter, not the former.
Back to our point. As a clark it is remarkable that we would be comfortable enough with the concept of: “Keep writing, that way the dull, stupid or otherwise not good posts will get buried by subsequent posts.” That, we will maintain, hell, we will shout, is the first proof of the Wakefield Doctrine’s efficacy as a tool for self-developing oneself.
That’s how it began.

August 2, 2011a) the Wakefield Doctrine, of course
b) yes, glad to have you here too!As the Readership of this blog grows, we are beginning to see questions forming in the minds of our Readers about this here Doctrine here. Signs of uncertainty are as immediate as the interview with DownSpring Joanne ( Episode Eeeleven of Video Friday), and as inferred as the Comment written in response to yesterdays Post.
We all know that it is a time-honored technique, when in the middle of the Summer’Re-run’ season to write a Q & A Post (or as our clarklike Readers might prefer it, Q & I(nference) & (modified)Q & A(interrupted). This saves the really good, original material for the Fall, when everyone is back from vacation and/or holiday and are ready to read online blogs. In addition, the use of a Q & A Post helps Readers who may have a passing interest in the Wakefield Doctrine, by allowing them to see that other people have the same questions*, which makes them? (all together now, rogers!!). Our scottian Readers have no more need for a Q & A than say a polar bear who happens upon an ice floe where 3 seal pups have been abandoned by their mother.
So lets get on with the Qs and the Answers!Q: Alright, are you guys for real, or what? Sometimes I read things that make sense in a serious and thoughtful way and the next thing I read is something about a girl in an imaginary High School. Whats the deal with you people?
A:Yes, we are for real. At least, as real as can be assumed about anything that you find on the internet. The Wakefield Doctrine really is the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers and there really are people who think in terms of all personality types being clarks or scotts or rogers.Q: Sometimes I am (a scott) then other times I must be (a clark). Whats up with that?
A: You’re a clarkQ: Hey, wait! You can’t be that sure, on the basis of only one questions!
A: Yes I can. ( I’m a clark) The question you should be asking is, ‘why does it seems that sometimes we are one form, other times others’? The answer is, of course, that we retain the capacity to experience the world as the three types, but have one (of the three) as a dominant view. i.e. clark, scott or roger.A: I heard that you have been doing this for more than 2 years, what have you learned about the Wakefield Doctrine that you did not know when you started?
Q: How much fun and how satisfying it would be…this is the clarklike answer. There may (or may not) be an answer to this question from the others in the Comment Section of this Post. But I would say, to amplify my answer, I am amazed on a daily basis how damn correct and ‘accurate’ the Wakefield Doctrine actually is! As a tool for self-development it is remarkable, as witness the progression of stunts and Posts, hats (for your damn heads) and trips across the country and latest of all, the Video Friday Interviews. I defy any clark reading this to say that the videos alone are documented proof of the efficacy of the Wakefield Doctrine as a personal development system.So, there you have it. Questions and Answers and even a damn, borrowed music video. Is dis a system, or what?
Yes, I have seen three gigantic rogers before…but no, not this gigantic lol
