I've noticed many people discussing the Lindy Effect in relation to lending protocol risks. There seems to be significant misunderstanding, with two distinct types of Lindy emerging:

→ The true Lindy Effect (which CT should discuss)
→ The experienced Lindy Effect (which CT actually discusses)

First, what’s the lindy effect?

The Lindy Effect proposes that non-perishable entities (ideas, technologies, books, cultural phenomena) have longer life expectancies as they age. Essentially, the longer something exists, the more likely it is to continue existing.

The Lindy Effect concept originated from a 1964 article by Albert Goldman, discussing comedians' longevity in relation to their career length. It was later refined by thinkers like Benoit Mandelbrot and 
Nassim Taleb.
