Archtypes

Just a bit ago, shopping, I noticed a muscular, bald Western man with a Thai woman of half his age and weight. She had long lustrous hair and wore tight denim short shorts. I can't help but feel glad to see tradition being kept alive!
Continuing on the subject of jumping to judgement, I recall Philip K Dick's charming "Clans of the Alphane Moon", in which various varieties of mental deformity, in isolation with others of similar condition, achieve kinds of super-power through amplication of their mutation/abberation. It once seemed possible to relate this to tribal variety and I fantasized using the idea as basis for a great American epic poem (my namesake/ancestor having produced so questionable a one).
Could psychological conditions not be placed in a line, or perhaps circle, of gradation? Might not that be a key to better understanding of our condition? The silly idea gave me hope, and ambition. Drugs helped the fantasy. I got a whole page written, which I sometimes read at a poetry forum at a local bar. Listeners were forgiving, if not terribly impressed.
But we do interpret much of we experience, relegating music or art or performance into catagories which might/can blend into each other. Certainly people have adapted to rather extreme conditions, and racial stereotyping has always had a certain vogue, n'est-ce pas? And that we so easily jump tp judgement must have had some adaptive utility, nest-ba? And psychological consitions can be milder or more extreme depending on conditions? And we generalize so as to aid the efficiency of our cogitations? No? NO???
