Show Notes
Inspired by a listener’s prompt, Herman and Corn Poppleberry dive into the fascinating and tragic history of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, the man who lived in a Paris terminal for 18 years. They contrast his experience with the high-tech reality of 2026, where facial recognition and "dwell time" AI make staying off the grid nearly impossible. From the psychology of "non-places" to the logistical nightmares of airport pricing, this episode explores whether the ultimate travel nightmare is actually a survivable reality.
