There’s another word for elder “wisdom” - superstition.

I question anything I’m told that doesn’t have proof attached, or singular experiences that are then extrapolated to cover an infinite future.

This always comes up in the same places: - Piss poor processes - Refusal to apply updates - Unverifiable decisions that exist for years

There’s a reason people say, “Ok boomer”.

There's good reasons alright. But as with everything humans adopt, it's also abused to oblivion in many situation where it doesn't even remotely apply.
