Idiot Wisdom

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."

band of idiots

A group of people trying to work together as a team but failing miserably because they are each so obsessed with their own goals that their failure is worse than if they were alone. Like an orchestra of people with no conductor, no sheet music and none of them know how to play their instruments but they are intent on playing as hard as they can. Opposite of synergy. The sum of the parts is less than one of the parts.

I had no idea just how obsessed they were and the extreme obsession with what they were trying to do but how badly they failed. It was a band of idiots.
