What If Experience Is Fundamental?

About this episode

This episode explores the primacy of experience and its fundamental role in shaping our understanding of science and knowledge.

Your life is simply your current experience. That is it. This is the key point science overlooks. This episode explores the primacy of experience and how everything we think we know or understand appears within it, not the other way round. This includes all of science and all knowledge of any kind. We also do a guided exercise to help you deeply grasp what is being said here.
