What we learned together last week
Weekly roundup
Listen to this riveting podcast on mimetic theory and building a portfolio of careers with philosopher and entrepreneur Johnathan Bi. Through our content, we aim to remind of the timeless principles. Breaking news comes and goes. Timeless principles stand.
Pay attention to the Lindy effect. This idea originally came from a discussion at Lindy's restaurant in New York City and was popularized through the works of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, particularly in his book "Antifragile." Taleb explains that for certain things, like technology or ideas, every additional period of survival may imply a longer remaining life expectancy. The Lindy effect is often applied to explain the longevity and persistence of cultural items (like books or music), technologies, or even businesses that have withstood the test of time.
When we decide to host someone on our podcast, we ask ourselves if what they have to say will be relevant even 100 years from now.

A Keats poem to brighten your week
I stood tip-toe upon a little hill,
The air was cooling, and so very still,
That the sweet buds which with a modest pride
Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside,
Their scantly leaved, and finely tapering stems,
Had not yet lost those starry diadems
Caught from the early sobbing of the morn.
The clouds were pure and white as flocks new shorn,
And fresh from the clear brook; sweetly they slept
On the blue fields of heaven, and then there crept
A little noiseless noise among the leaves,
Born of the very sigh that silence heaves:
For not the faintest motion could be seen
Of all the shades that slanted o’er the green.
