Adults could previously offer kids advice about the future. That’s no longer the case.

New paradigm baby

Wisdom is useless now

Somebody come get this man, he wilin again

hmm i think there's more nuance here, no? 

advice != wisdom

the latter is a subcategory

wisdom holds true across long periods. but there's another type of common advice like "you should go to medical school instead of trying to be a youtuber" which isn't wisdom and can be wrong depending on time/context

Yeah I agree, but advice is also not *just* instruction 

I agree that instructions are less relevant than they were before

But I’d also argue that instructions like “go to med school” were always bad and robbed kids of their agency

That's all fair, but is "dynamism gud" really a novel insight?

Yes, things change faster than they ever did -- arguably more of a case to promote retention of wisdom and traditions of knowledge

i wasn't quite framing "go to med school" as an instruction (you must), tho i guess that's the common context, but more as advice (you should)

we agree "you must" is always bad

also agree that bryan is wrong specifically wrt lumping in eternal advice (wisdom) with contextual, tho both of these fall under "you should"

broad strokes he's wrong with former and right with the latter is where i am, and it doesn't seem like folks are necessarily conceding that to him
