Why do some books, habits, and technologies last for centuries—while others fade in months? This episode explores the Lindy Effect, a powerful mental model that predicts the longevity of non-perishable things: the longer something has lasted, the longer it’s likely to last.We trace the Lindy Effect from its roots in Manhattan comedy clubs to the writings of Nassim Taleb, uncover the mathematical logic behind it, and apply it across literature, philosophy, technology, and personal habits. You’ll learn why classics like Meditations or tools like pen and paper keep thriving, and how your brain’s craving for novelty can lead you astray.We’ll also share a practical “Lindy Filter” checklist to help you evaluate what’s likely to stand the test of time—whether it’s a book, belief, or behavior.
