Thanks for the post, though I would disagree on the Luddites part: while it's true that there are some Luddites sticking around, it's also true that most Luddites in history haven't stuck around (and today's Luddites are very much supported by new technologies). Perhaps, the point isn't to refuse anything new (what Luddites do) but to acknowledge that what's new is likely to disappear soon *and yet* a small percentage of the new might be very important.

(p.s., if you're interested in a more generalized version of the Lindy Effect: https://luca-dellanna.com/Lindy)

This is rather thought-provoking and I need to sit with it for a while. I really like the idea and want to now apply it to everything. :)
