Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and roger)
(Allow me to indulge in a bit of egocentrism and simply say, “damn! the number of interesting, exceptional and overall cool bunch of people I get to meet writing this here blog here…very excellent job” This is nothing new to the more habituated Readers, but the Wakefield Doctrine is with some sort of weird personality-darwinism vibe, has the result of the people who manage to beat their way through the convoluted prose that oft grace these pages and understand what the Doctrine is and then, and then step up and actually write to us. Yow! Be they clarks (well mostly) or scotts (we can see your eyes in the underbrush) or rogers (like that Steve fella…) all the people we have met here have contributed to this thing in ways that we probably don’t yet fully appreciate. But, speaking on behalf of the Wakefield Doctrine, “glad y’all could make it!”
Which brings us to our newest DocTee-wearing-lifeform. From a land that seems to have more than it’s fair share of clarks, Jenny is a part of the ‘New Generation’ here at the Doctrine; this is the group of people who learned about the Wakefield Doctrine solely from the blog. People such as Molly, Claire, Nell Rose, Jasmine, Steve. We all know that to ‘get’ the Wakefield Doctrine takes a person with something we refer to as ‘flexible intelligence’ which is to say more intelligent than average but with the capacity to decide on the rules (for applying this intelligence) a quality not as common as you would think! Jenny is joining a great group*.
Let’s all say “ello, Jenny” to our newest Wakefield Doctrine-TeeDoc-wearing Friend of the Doctrine!
We first met Jenny back in June of this year when she stealthed-up on us with a combined Comment/test scenario ( “Essay Questions… “), with little fanfare, as gentle an exegesis as one might hope for, she be saying :
“Right, here we go then! I’m a Clark, definitely without question, so I sometimes may overthink things! I’m open to suggestions… “
As you can see from the follow-up Comments from the others, Jenny totally fit right in ( yeah, a clark…fitting in… go figure ). We are looking forward to watching the influence and input from Jenny as we continue our efforts to put the Wakefield Doctrine in a form that anyone can read, enjoy, understand and use! (Jenny also convinced me to sign up for ‘the Skype’ so there may be a transcontinental element to our Drives… or radio show! Looking forward to our exo-American delegation taking the Doctrine to the Old World.)
welcome, Jenny
* not to leave out those others…the skilled in ways that allow the appearance of casual un-informedness, only to find yourself backed into an intellectual corner…like a mouse being stalked by a cat with a secret Phd that would be DS#1 and Ms. AKH and of course, the progenitor roger
