Advice which sounds wise on the surface but loses all credibility upon further examination (usually from a lack of real-world applications). It's when idiots try to give advice which sounds wise.
"Don't give up. Anything is possible."
"That's idiot wisdom; if anything were possible, it'd be possible for something to be impossible."

"Get rid of all the negative people in your life to be successful."
"That's more idiot wisdom. Doing that creates an echo chamber around you with no knowledge of the rest of the suffering world around you."
