I used to do a 45-minute talk with lots of swearing about why infosec professionals are so bad at giving digital security/privacy advice and digital security training. My patience for bullshit has shrunk so much since then that it can only be detected by specialized scientific instruments.

Keen for good resources that have been distilled for general audiences. It's a sea of sludge out there.
