Why Internet Wisdom Isnt Enough Seek Elders Not Sound Bites

I don't know that people are prepared to work that hard to get wisdom as a norm. And I think that's always been true. But how does one gather wisdom? How does one get away from you say, protect, you know, avoid emotion, protect the mind. But how does one actually do that? How does one gather wisdom? Well, first, I think it's typically from an elder that's in that can understand your situation and the nuances of your situation. That's the problem with seeking information when you when people need wisdom, they're getting information from the Internet. So they don't have someone that's older than them, who understands them, who's a family who understands the nuances of their personality, their circumstances, their situation, that that's where you get wisdom from. You can't get that. And so we're missing our eldership in our country right now. We're missing eldership. Young people don't think they even need old people, because why do I need them? I can just type in my question in the Internet. It tells me my answer. That's all I need. And I don't need more than that. So they don't get the lecture. They get the sound bite. You know, they get something that's that's big enough. You can put into a text when they're looking for wisdom. Wisdom comes with a lecture. I'm sorry. It does. Every time it comes with a lecture of some sort, whether in your own mind, when you get the effect or someone standing in front of you, if you're trying to get wisdom from social media, from the Internet, it's going to be very, very difficult. It's going to be very confusing. Like I said, you're going to get information from a lot of perspectives, but you're not going to get the wisdom that you're necessarily looking for. And we got to become wise enough to figure that out and wise enough to understand. Yeah, if I'm trying to figure out how to replace a bumper on my car, I can go to YouTube. But if I want to figure out how to find a wife, I should probably talk to somebody who's done it well. Right. Right. Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I saw a meme and again, we can't be driven by memes. We have to be more rigorous than that. But basically it said, you know, basically it was suggesting that you should have a mentor who's in their 20s. And you know, what do we think about that? It's like, well, OK, you know, maybe in a very specific siloed area that you're trying to improve upon, you know, maybe, you know, like, hey, I'd like to learn coding so I can unlock the power of the computer and everything. In terms of life, I can't take that concept seriously. Like, you've not had anybody you love die, you know, or if it was, it was an elder person. You've not had your best friend come and have to live on your couch because their life was exploded by life. You know, all of these things, these tragedies you have to go through to go, you know, I don't know the first thing about anything. I'm just going to do my best. This person is trying to do that. I mean, how many people think that everybody is for the most part trying to do their best? You know, and that that's a lesson of of experience, you know, so so we get these things where these concepts of, you know, only young people are smart and adaptable. You know, I'll take you and I right now. You we don't have to do we don't have to even worry about it.
