They are unrelated things. The lindy effect says the future lifespan is proportional to how long itβs been around already (The Bible writings have been around 2000 years, so it will probably be around for another 2000 years). Survivorship bias is saying that things that survive are representative of the whole sample (saying the The Brothers Karamazov was typical for literature of that period without other evidence would be an example of survivorship bias).
Similar but not the same concept. Lindy is that age predicts life expectancy for non-perishable items. Survivorship bias has nothing to do with the future.
I could have used survivorship bias in that post and lost little, but the implication is that Dostoyevsky is highly likely to have more staying power than a randomly selected novel published 142 years later.
