The crisis exposed operational limits, poor communication, and how quickly institutional stress gets transferred to individuals.What This Episode ExploresThe emotional anatomy of a cancelled flightHow institutions unintentionally create powerlessnessWhy curiosity is hard when you feel wrongedOutrage versus strategic thinkingTravel as privilege, not entitlementHow “operational difficulties” become personalKey TakeawaysWhen communication fails, emotion fills the gapCuriosity takes effort, especially when you feel invisibleMost failures are systemic, not personalPerspective lowers psychological costClarity often works better than outrageConnect with UsShare your thoughts: listen@innocencetheory.comIf this episode resonates, please share it or leave a review—it truly helps us grow.Hosts: Dinesh Kumar C, Arjun ShrivatsanEditor: Abhinav SureshCover Art: Akshay JoshiDo you like the Innocence Theory Podcast?
