      UMC parents have an inkling if they're connected. Maybe. In the big coastal cities, in tech, sure. Everyone else, no way. Universities have no incentive to publicize this. They're /delighted/ to take the tuition and lead a generation into debt slavery

      And if you're not plugged into to get the lowdown on the True Path--if your last memory of college was out of the eighties--God forbid, if you never went to college yourself--there's no way you're going to be in a position to give good advice. But how would you know that?

      Easy. Give enough advice and actually check on the results and you eventually get an intuitive idea of what of your experience is actually generalizable beyond not at all. Most people of course fail at step 2. Or perhaps it's step 0, since humility is always step 0.

      How many parents have the opportunity to repeatedly give advice to others' children and wait years to see that advice play out?

      Say consciousness begins at age 5. Children give each other advice. Parents of children will tend to have had >15 years to have gathered experience on their advice-giving skills. Of course, there are errors and conversion costs. But "innocent" is not going to be the judgment.

      I have no experience as an executive in the tech field in the 2010s. But I have @Baalren 's "logiomancy", and I decided to pay some attention to something I regularly use, so it was obvious. "Who could have seen this coming" is a prayer for salvation.https://twitter.com/rezzealaux/status/1283580460602253321 …

      What goes on in the mind of someone who was today years old when they found out tweeter was rigged? Truly unfathomable.

      See also: advice-taking. Categorize advice-givers as like past bad or good advice-givers. Then compare yourself as advice-giver to those categories. If you sound like a bad one, start worrying.

      More broadly, I imagine our great-grandfathers generation would've probably seen this coming. They might not have been able to explain why, but they would've seen it. The tradition they carried was just discarded.https://twitter.com/rezzealaux/status/1194004281138892800 …

      Discarded, and then divorce was allowed. What a coincidence. (Note: still in favour of divorce being an option. Just rabidly hate not-divorce being a not-option.)

      I took the circuitous route again. "How many parents have the opportunity to repeatedly give advice to others' children and wait years to see that advice play out?" Grandparents and great-grandparents. But because we have children late, they can no longer speak.

      Their advice is super out of date, though :/ My grandfather has great perspective on long-run trends and how to be human, but he hasn't been in a classroom since the 40s :/
