I'll never be a teen model

It’s hard to be a researcher and a Romantic both; too many r-words, for one. For two, there are so many interpretive models (especially things like Paperny’s Kul’tury-2, especially apologists’ and revisionists’ models of history) that are beautiful, that are in keeping with a Romantic’s philosophy. But always the conversation in my head:

My Brain’s Left Hemisphere: That’s not the reason why.
Right Hemisphere: But it’s so romantic!
Left: Even more cause to believe that it’s not the explanation.
