CS Lewis wrote about the chronological snobbery antidote to accepting the current intellectual climate at face value by alternating recent and old books. Taleb referred to the Lindy effect of older books in Antifragile. Mortality of the author wasn’t a necessary filter but just correlates with Lindyness
