Never have I ever seen so many platitudes in one post. Makes me think of the Flemish “Bond Zonder Naam”[1], who monetise these kinds of uninspiring sayings where I live. In Dutch also called “tegelwijsheden”, because your grandma would have these sappy and dull ‘wisdoms’ painted on a tile in their kitchen. Apparently some people also see money in it[2].

What's trite is often true.
I thought that! I'm 72 and I don't spout this kind of stuff. I thought it might be AI - "what kind of advice would a 72 year old give?"
