I'd say just to pay attention to the information anyone is giving you. Keep what's relevant and make good use of it. Learn from what isn't relevant anymore and have a discussion about why it's not relevant.

Our elders have so much experience. Even if some of it isn't directly helpful to you, there's still so much of the human experience that hasn't ever and will never change. Things like relationships, survival, hope, struggle, addiction, passion, and so much more.

Thing is, that assumes that your elders are actually dealing with any of the human experience in a remotely sensible manner. I suppose even then they probably aren't wrong all the time, but is the effort of trying to tell counterproductive bullshit from sensible advice really worth the effort?
