The Lindy Way of Living

A technology lawyer named Paul Skallas argues we should be gleaning more wisdom from antiquity.

Female circumcision? Lindy.
Conflating astronomical events with doom? Lindy.
Patriarchy? Lindy.

This ridiculous paleo-lite view of the world, where you pick and choose from history with no real criteria, really needs to go. I don’t understand the value of pretending that ancient times were glorious, when the life expectancy was under 40 and most people were illiterate and died from maladies of the teeth. Or violence.

Everything he’s wearing in his picture? Not Lindy.
