Great piece.

I remember coming across the idea of the Lindy Effect in Nassim Taleb’s ‘Skin in the game.’ Completely changed the way I judged the tradition vs progress dilemma.

Sometimes, there’s a reason certain principles have stood the test of time.

Thanks, really appreciate it. Taleb was where I first discovered Lindy too. Then recently it started coming up more and more, and it made me thinks about why things are so sticky when it comes to innovation in my industry. Is it pure resistance or are we trying to change things which still work?
