      looking up the lindy effect, the very first paragraph on wikipedia clearly says it doesn't have anything to do with humans. it statistically cannot. it's about how institutions that are long lived are more likely to perpetuate than new ones.

      i don't feel like giving this weirdo the benefit of the doubt i think he he literally authored 3 books and based his personality around an idea he fundamentally does not understand. that was formulated by a bunch of comedians riffing about a diner they frequented

        lol at the idea that a scientific concept about institutions could have nothing to do with humans.

          it's barely a scientific concept but yes, institutions are made by people, i wasn't very clear. take your pedant medal 🎖️

      You know, I can't think of a single woman's issue in which I have ever asked myself, "But what would a tweedy male intellectual who probably doesn't interact with many women think of this?"
