I think my reality is probably the same for many. "Elders" suck and most fail miserably at providing anything close to sage advice. I remember my grandpa and father giving me car advice that was probably 20 years out of date when they were telling it to me. Fortunately reading a basics of modern car 20 page article catapulted my knowledge beyond anything they could offer. Despite being over twice my age both never bothered to update their information on a relatively simple topic. I disagree with your last point as well. Again most "Elders" are terrible. The most common advice I got from elders all over the place.... "You will understand when you are older." yeah thanks....thats why I was asking so I don't have to wait. I'm pretty sure most people have similar experiences to me and its sorta provable. It's why nursing homes are overflowing with useless old people that are un-visited and ignored en mass.. Its simple, if they had any value people would come to visit them, but they don't. I'm not saying its their(elders) job or anything. Just don't expect respect for living and not dying early. I already provide better advice to people younger than me than the vast majority of people double or triple my age can. Most people suck, with the internet it is easy to leapfrog the majority of so called elders since they never really tried in life anyway, most boomers just fell upward in a booming economy and don't even have soft or navigating life skills. Yeah I don't really care much for old people if you can tell. However I do wish I've had some positive experiences from them but so far my entire life has proven otherwise.
