There's so much contradictory advice out there that you can cherry pick the pieces you want to hear to support whatever you actually think you should do. In that way, advice is just a mirror that's pretending not to be you. It's like when you flip a coin to make a decision, and if it shows the side you secretly didn't want, you can flip again for the best out of three or best out of five until you get the decision that you really wanted to make, and could have just made, in the first place. Isn't it funny that we can't trust our own judgement, but we can judge other people's advice, even random advice? Whatever works, I guess.
