-Knowledge about the world one accumulates by gained first-hand by living through it.

+Knowledge about the world one gains, first-hand, by living through it. Knowledge that is joyously ''subjective'', and not the quasi-objective, pseudo-knowledge by which we are all systematically indoctrinated through social institutions such as the education system, government and the calculating fingers of the media. Each person’s “lived experience” is necessarily unique, and taken ad absurdum, literally ineffable to any other person.  As Ogden Nash put it:
+{{quote|
+We’d free the incarcerate race of man <br>
+That such a doom endures <br>
+Could only you unlock my skull, <br>
+Or I creep into yours.<ref>Ogden Nash, ''Listen...'', reprinted in ''Candy is Dandy: The Best of Ogden Nash''</ref> <br>}}
 Can get confusing when you consider one’s “lived experience” ''includes'' being indoctrinated through social institutions like school, university, work and, well, people who witter on about lived experiences all the time. Like the JC.
