Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Hey! Remind us to return to the topic we started yesterday.
Short on time. A RePrint (‘oughta hold the little bastards’*)
New evidence showing: ‘Columbus married and remained in New World after Discovery’ the Wakefield Doctrine and surprises in Life (sorry, I have no idea how this makes any sense)
October 8, 2012 By (Edit)Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) It’s the real deal, a perspective that will let you see the behavior of your friends and family in a totally new light. Try it!
So, about the Columbus thing. We admit that we made up today’s Title. There is absolutely no evidence supporting the contention that Christopher Columbus stayed behind and raised a family*, but given that today we, in the Currently Dominant Culture of the Western Hemisphere (motto: ” were Number 1!! were Number #1!!! ), are celebrating the Discovery of the New World aka Columbus Day (Coming to the Discovery Channel: “New World Men: Kicking Ass on a Whole New Continent!” )
Now that I’ve got that out of my system, we can on with the serious business of talking about the Wakefield Doctrine. (Alright, if you want a ‘funny Post’, I’ll give you a funny Post! Go to this Post and after you have read it, please come back and tell me what the hell you think is so damn good about it! For reasons not understood, this Post shows up way more than it should in the list of ‘search terms’ (indicators of how Readers come to find the blog.)
You know, in the early days of writing this blog, we would make a point of stating that the Wakefield Doctrine is both gender and culture neutral. What we meant by this is that it does not matter what part of the world you are from, it is the nature and character of your own worldview that matters (personality type-wise). We contend that the worldviews that are the basis of the three personality types are inseparable from the human condition. Further, while standards of behavior may vary from one culture to another, a person who grows up, develops and otherwise matures living in a reality best characterized as the world of Predator and Prey, will be: aggressive, inquisitive, quick to react, action-oriented with a minimum of self-reflection. That reality exists in Zimbabwe and New Auckland as well as Mansfield Ohio. Not only that, but the Doctrine maintains that gender prescribes the capacity/ability (of a person to act a certain way), not their reasons for acting. A female growing up, developing and otherwise maturing in a world where she is the Outsider, will still develop: an insatiable desire to learn new information and facts, be drawn to the fringes of whatever culture she happens to be in and have an abundance of what is referred to as intuition, all that she is permitted (by physiology as well as the local culture) in order to live her life.
The unique insight into behavior and personality types offered by the Wakefield Doctrine is founded upon one’s personal reality. Correctly infer which of the three worldviews the other person is experiencing and you will know more about them than they know about themselves.Columbus? Not sure which of the three personality types…well, hold on a minute! The following is an accepted approach to figuring whether a person is a clark or a scott or a roger: eliminate the most unlikely of the three worldviews, in the case of Columbus we’re gonna go with, ‘not a clark‘** That leaves us with: scott or roger.
Put me down for: roger! (If you want to know my reasoning, you’re going to have to write a Comment and ask, preferably offering your own choice.)
*”Here’s the story …of a man named Columbo” ha, ha
*alas, a standard in the world-building process for preadolescents growing up in mid-century 1900s is now being identified as but an urban myth! ‘Uncle Don we hardly knew ye!’
