Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
The Doctrine, at least for the purposes of this post, can be likened to a musical instrument. It has the inherent value to produce what most of us characterize as a musical sound/tone. It responds to a certain approach/technique better than others. There are, (to some), arbitrary rules for the application of it in the service of playing music, (i.e. you should not use a clarinet as a bow on a viola, you should not blow into the f-holes of a double bass expecting to hear an alto note) and, finally, with study and practice, one might arrive at the point of being able to produce something otherwise not available any other way.
So learn your scales, (the characteristics of the three predominant worldviews), and practice until you know each note/detail by heart.
Practice your lessons: “a clark and a scott and a roger stand on the sidewalk across the street from a very popular restaurant.”
Play the clarklike part… now the scottian observation and finally, the roger’s counter response and, likely extended, coda.
Repeat.
Eventually, with practice, and, it is assumed, a certain of talent, one can play this little piece with emphasis on each of the three as the lead melody. And, if one has or develops ‘an ear’, you might bring each part to life in manner the listener has not heard before.
Technical prowess will produce a truly effective performance.
However, once you have the technique mastered, you can begin to put yourself into the music. And by doing so, produce something (insights into the life of total stranger) not heard before.
…you know, like that.
