I’m not sure when we, as a society, decided we were too cool for air travel—how we became so blasé about being suspended over 30,000 feet in the air, soaring in this gravity-defying tube that will get us to any pin on the map in a matter of hours. It seems to me that we’ve lost our sense of awe and wonder, and there’s no greater evidence than the shuttered plane window. Far too often, I notice window seaters on flights renouncing their privilege, turning their heads away from the magic that’s unfolding right outside their periphery. And all I can think about this sight is bad vibes.
