Paul Graham on Twitter: "Like conversation pits, these are aspirational architecture. People imagine that if they have these things, they'll take long relaxing baths in them. Then in practice life consists of rushing to take a bath between random errands."

  Or rather, take a shower. The bath meanwhile becomes a spider trap.

  The ultimate goal of at least one CEO of a delivery app is to finally have time to take a long bath.

  Nice design for hotels and resorts - especially if we will be more isolated in our "vacationing" if we are ever able to travel.

  Besides waste of so much water, softened by wasting equal quantity prior to filling the bathtub! #unsustainable. CC @wrathofgnon

  True, but part of selling property is about selling a story and people _want_ to relax with a great view.

  The only reason why you think it might “die” in a few decades is because less people can afford to reach that point. That’s it. Same with watches. As long as the goal post keeps getting moved for whatever reason, these aspirational goals will “die”.

  Why don’t you hire someone to do errands while you relax and enjoy the view?

  That something is aspirational doesnt mean it dies out. People still plan their spaces with living rooms and dinner tables even though statistically they buy their food to-go or eat tv-dinners.
