What Has Lasted Long Will Probably Last Longer

H howtolive.guide ·

The Lindy Effect: books that have been read for 200 years will likely be read for another 200. Technologies that survived decades are safer bets than last year's trend. This doesn't mean old is always better — it means time is the most ruthless filter. What survives it has passed a test that novelty hasn't yet faced. When choosing what to learn, invest in, or build on, consider the track record.

The point
Time is the most ruthless filter — what survived it has proven its worth.
