This map’s contour lines

If we perceive logical types as contour lines on a map we learn how national political themes can play out in statewide, and into neighborhood basins or hills. It might help to understand the complex of themes, issues, and songs in which we swim and navigate our days. We have more choices in and influence on the smaller environs, and more immediately, yet the larger pinches us and cannot be ignored. Our conversation travels these rings and benefits if we see what we are doing, and where. It may indeed be that the logical types are not steps so much as gradual inclines. If we attend these contour lines we first meet dismay in how many and plaited they are, then we meet our ability to influence the entangled threads.
