It depends. It's all about considering the source. If a true expert says "This is what it is" you can use that to inform yourself. But when it comes to learning about life that's a pretty personal experience. I'd definitely say that people who are well read have additional context. But there's also a danger, for some, in leaning on the opinions of others too much.
