Education is a general term used for describing "book learning," often at early stages of going from novice to expert at something. However, in Romantic Dynamics, we use it specifically as a way of describing the kind of data that we take in, learn, catalogue and arrange in neat, accessible order in our "Left Brain." This is a type of data, then, that fills our memory and our intellectual apparatus responsible for logic, reason, organization, and analytical processing of information. Think like an accountant, not a surfer.

Education is like the data "substance" that fills the "tank," which we call the Left Brain. It is book smarts, history-based, and helps us in steering ourselves toward goals with an ability at accuracy, orientation, timeliness, precision, and other ways that require high organization.

In Romantic Dynamics, we use the model of flying an airplane with a pilot who is "left-brained." He or she will tend to fly straight to the destination, sometimes without regard to obstacles, like foul weather, in the way. It is accurate, but has a flaw in its lack of adaptation and moment to moment reassessment of and necessity of changing course on the way to our goals.

It is possible to be "intellectually narcissistic" as well as emotionally narcissistic" in our social relations, and the way that this may happen on account of Left-brained education is to treat others with "prejudice" or "judgementalism." We pre-judge something to be true of others or of life without considering alternatives, and we strive to be intellectually right and accurate at any cost, even that of our own delusion or intellectual rudeness toward others. Instead, when we are mature of character and virtuous, we use our Left Brain for the best purpose, which is "curiosity."

Lover (melancholic) and Magician (sanguine) personalities will tend to be the most right-brained, and gifted at using experience in goign for goals. Meanwhile, Kings and Queens (phlegmatic) as well as Warriors (choleric) will tend to be the most left-brained and gifted at being precise, logical and analytical in going for goals.
