As someone who is getting older, I have this to say: don't take a life advice from a 20-something, no matter how well meaning they are.

Rather stick with old bitter people, who regret not being young anymore?

Personally I can find wisdom in 2 year olds babbling, as well as 90 years old. It depends on the person and time.

I discovered, that you can learn something from any person (even if it is, how not to do things). And age is not the determining factor.

It is interesting as the later I get into my 50s, I start thinking more and more how I should never listen to what people over 50 say.

Life is non-ergodic and the older you get the more you are over fit to a time that no longer exists.

At least youthful ignorance has a chance of actually being right. There is a pseudo-wisdom that comes with age that is almost always wrong going forward.
