I am fully convinced that 2019 was the last normal year we ever had. Ever since then, it feels like everything’s broken. Everyone is constantly anxious, time moves too fast, and nothing actually feels real anymore. The world as we knew it is just gone
"I think that every time you see the word EBITDA, you should substitute the words 'bullshit earnings."
"Think of the basic intellectual dishonesty that comes when you start talking about adjusted EBITDA. You’re almost announcing you’re a flake."
~ Charlie Munger

I’m not sharing this as the CEO of Eternal, but as a fellow human, curious enough to follow a strange thread. A thread I can’t keep with myself any longer.
It’s open-source, backed by science, and shared with you as part of our common quest for scientific progress on human longevity.
Newton gave us a word for it. Einstein said it bends spacetime. I am saying gravity shortens lifespan.
Read on, and tell me what you think.
Last week, on a business trip, I ran out of shaving foam.
I called the hotel concierge to request a standard ₹100 can of shaving foam.
They hummed and hawed, made multiple calls, said they’d have to send someone to the market in the hotel car and bill me for it.
I told them not to bother. Ordered it on a quick commerce app - and it arrived in 6 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬.
Hotels seem to be falling behind in keeping up with consumers and the shifting, higher standards they have become accustomed to in their daily lives.
- Need shaving foam? Quick commerce delivers it faster than the concierge.
- Hungry? Why pay a premium for average-tasting room service when food delivery apps offer better food at better prices.
- Coffee? The corner café serves a real cup at a third the price of that automatic machine brew.
- Head massage? Urban Company > spa appointment.
Hotels are slowly becoming just a roof over your head.
Almost every other experience is better - and cheaper - outside the hotel than inside.
Time for the hotel industry to reinvent itself.
To become not just a place to sleep, but a contemporary, delightful part of the travel experience again.
