Take Paul Skallas, the antiquity-loving "Lindy Man," a blogger and tweeter who has built his brand around Taleb's concept of the Lindy effect (put simply, the older something is, the more likely it is to endure). Skallas dispenses health and lifestyle advice under the Lindy aegis, aiming his content at members of the "4HL" — the "four-hour life," the amount of time Skallas estimates is left over daily for most people with office jobs.
