Advice is “useless” in the same sense that reading a book is useless. You are receiving compressed knowledge while your capacity to accomplish goals is iterated through more complex experiences. Like reading, advice needs to be unpacked, put into practice, reinterpreted, tweaked - to the point that whatever inputs came as words are now a network of ideas/experiences/memories/tricks.
