Exalted by the NY Times as “perfectly preserved, the terminal is a time capsule from the heady days when travel was exotic, and airports were beacons of the future.” The international lounge was opened with the blessing of QE2 in 1959....

But there’s also opportunities to choose insight, reflection, and wisdom—if we recognize them..

Stupidity reflects back the blind spots, biases, and limitations we would rather ignore.

But that’s an invitation to pause and reconsider—so long as we have humility and the courage to act differently.

…it isn't constrained by intelligence or status.

How many of us say we fall into the intelligent category (from “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity"- Carlo M. Cipolla defined), and assume the majority also do?

Stupidity is an equal-opportunity disruptor, capable of derailing progress at any scale.
