Almost everything is a scam. "Wisdom" is just the slow realization of going through a life where you fall for the many scams and eventually learn they are a scam. That's why only old people are "wise", it takes a whole lifetime of falling for snake oil. So for example a teenage boy will believe Jeff Seid saying he's natty while pushing protein powders, because you need to have actually gone to the gym for and weighed food and counted macros and taken the supplements for a decade, maybe even used roids, to see the reality of genetics.
That's only one scam. Others include things like PUA, therapy, things like that. You see a therapist still taking patient's money a decade later, and the patient is still mentally ill. No change at all. No other medical treatment would be considered successful if the patient was identical or close to it after 10 years of trying the treatment.
Conspiracy theory type stuff is the opposite reaction. So people without wisdom making the false assumption EVERY single thing is somehow fake, to avoid being conned to begin with. You can't really cheat wisdom like that, so you just need to know from people who've done the thing for decades who aren't like cult member people who just insist eternally that the result is coming (much like people going their entire life claiming Jesus is coming next week or all land will be gone by next year due to sea levels).
