    Nasim Taleb
    Antifragile, 2012
    If a book has been in print for forty years, I
    can expect it to be in print for another forty
    years…
    This, simply, as a rule, tells you why things that
    have been around for a long time are not
    “aging” like persons, but “aging” in reverse.
    Every year that passes without extinction
    doubles the additional life expectancy …the
    robustness of an item is proportional to its life!
