"無知な人の話を聞くことは答えが全くないよりも悪い"
— Ray Dalio

Simplified Meaning:
If you listen to people who don't know what they're talking about, it's more harmful than if you don't get any answers at all. Imagine you're trying to fix a broken car. You ask two friends for help. One doesn't know anything about cars but gives you wrong advice anyway. The other friend says they don't know and so keeps quiet. Listening to the first friend might end up breaking your car even more, while the second friend's silence doesn't make things worse. It's better to admit you don't know something and look for correct information. Acting on bad advice can lead to worse problems. So, always make sure the advice you follow is from someone who really knows what they're talking about.
