Much experience can be "talked about", but it would seem much of it cannot be "conveyed". Our degree of success at conveying it would depend on our conjuring apt comparisons -- and then hoping the auditor had experienced the thing we were comparing it to. No verbal description of a color red we are seeing would be useful in conveying it to a person blind since birth. A mathematician, enthralled by the beauty of a certain formula, would be hard put to convey his experience to an innumerate person.
