COMMENT

Illumination is an irrevocable change in the brain, such that the brain’s default state is effortless attention and stillness.

Binoy Kampmark: Frankfurt Airport - A Special Kind Of Loathing

Instead of steely no-nonsense efficiency, we see gross lethargy in moving people across terminals.
