@talraviv talraviv.org i love a principle

@talraviv talraviv.org called the Lindy Effect

@talraviv talraviv.org 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!

@talraviv talraviv.org someone who’s been in your life for a
decade

@talraviv talraviv.org is more likely to be in your life
in a decade
