What the fuck is they talking about with describing things as Lindy? Are they talking about the (extremely fake) Lindy Effect? Miss me with that anecdote shit.

What exactly is the Lindy effect? I looked at the Wikipedia entry for it and I still feel like I don’t know what it is
the lindy effect: the longer something has lasted, the longer something will last in the future
This just sounds like survivorship bias with extra steps.
Normative inertia
Is that seriously it? Why is it named after a dead restaurant chain?
This is pretty much true but I do abide by Hofstadter’s Law
Humility is a virtue.
