I ask Gemini Ai to teach me something i dont know, it was very insightful.

The Lindy Effect suggests that for certain things, their future life expectancy is proportional to their current age. Unlike biological organisms where being old means you are closer to death the Lindy Effect posits that for info and intellectual works, being old is a sign of robustness.

If you want to understand a complex topic, read the books that have been around for 30+ years.

They’ve already survived the test of time, whereas a bestseller from last month might be forgotten by next year.
