transportation shapes the ebbs and flows of social currentsit something we all encounter and experience, it involves an aspect

of disjointedness and dislocation from normality unfortunately, our discussions of transportation have followed the same absurd scripts as every other topicbroad, depersonalized, instrumental approaches to a policy area that has tangible on our every day lives this dichotomy between personal and instrumental, micro and macro, impressionistic vs highly technical thinking is one we think is worth exploring in the context of the topic before we expand to a broader discussion of language and knowledge,we begin with a discussion of the topicspecifically, a narrative decription of transportnot the economic or political aspect, simply the individual perspective of being transported

Mythos was the ambiguous, emotional, undefinable force that pervaded society. Socratic and Platonic tradition could not pin it down so they chose to dismiss it. Forgotten, it has served as the defining failure of modern knowledge. elements of mythos pervade all

cultures but remain unconsidered in decisionmaking, tainting the endless search for Truth and disastrously affecting policy. by embracing mythos, we decenter the modern obsession with exclusive rationality and open space for as more holistic conception of knowlege

The United States federal government should substantially increase its transportation infrastructure investment in the United States contention two is metaphor heres the point of synthesiswe think that our invididualized example of trasportation forms a useful locus for a discussion of knowledge, language, and mythos. excluding personal experience to focus on broad efficiency is an example of logos excluding mythos. paradoxically, this exclusion has resulted in rail policies inadvertently shaped by mythos alone. this unveils conduits by which individual impressions and feelings fundementally shape policymaking, and serves as a broader metaphor for the structure of society. we should affirm the metaphor of transportation to expose the truly mythic nature of decisionmaking.
