Some day I'll write a paper on dual-processes in cognition that draws on Hemispheres by Rush for inspiration and illustration

I mean the first verse ends with:

"The gods of Love and Reason sought alone to rule the fate of Man"

This is true for both good and bad characters.

Though it is more robust for bad than for good characters

It is also distinct from a possible "humanization" effect.

Wild rabbits in the garden this morning causing great excitement!

Looks like one of my students is confused about who their lecturer is...
Got an R&R this morning on a paper that's been tricky to find a home for, made it to review a few times in the past 2 years, but kept getting rejected. It's a different paper now. Delighted to get this and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the revisions!
