| I'm on an Emirates A380 over the island of Goa, en route to Dubai from Melbourne. For the past ten days, I've been on a whirlwind visit to Hong Kong, where I spoke at the Economist Longevity conference, and to Australia, where I discussed, inter alia, lithium and more Juvenescence.
In less than two weeks, it's a round trip to Sydney for the Sohn Hearts & Minds Investment Leaders Conference, where yet another speech beckons. Yikes!
This excessive travel leads me to two comments: one, an apology to the editor for the tardiness of this month's letter; and two, the observation that jet age travel hasn't really changed much in the fifty years or so I've been on planes.
Sure, the modern aircraft are more fuel efficient, less noisy, and in business class there are things such as flat beds – oh, and loyalty points. There is also a lot more security, for obvious reasons, and TV screens on which we can watch unwatchable movies. |
