[edit] On Experience
Experience is a subject of philosophy, and we all learn everything solely by experience (including the experience of reading). Without the experience we have difficulty expressing the thought or act, and this is self-evident in invention where the new takes time to create and distribute, but the old is well known and taught. This has an implication that the more unique things you experience and the more meaningful things you experience (such as experiencing a philosophy book instead of watching Star Trek or Dr. Who--they give false answers for the world no matter how entertaining, so your experience just added false answers to your personality) you gain a better understanding of the world. You project everything you experienced, and this is called projection, and we cannot help ourselves in this, but with wisdom we can control our answers, and the projection of your experiences and resulting knowledge is always there no matter how subtle.

[edit] On an expert on the subject
You won't find one, the attrition rate is terrible.
[edit] Experience background
This page needs a lot of work, especially in the history of philosophy, German philosophy in particular (i.e. Erfahrung) with a discussion that goes back to Kant at least.Brosi 22:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Erfahrung
There is a very sophisticated page in the German part on Erfahrung, but how to link it is beyond me.Brosi 22:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quotes section
Those quotes are all anti-experience. They're not even mainstream points of view--what's with that? I almost think they should be deleted, but at the very least, they should be balanced with something pro-experience. -128.101.53.239 06:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jobs
Don't forget occupational experience, something which is required in order to be hired, regardless of whether a person has enough inborn skill to make up for it. :(
