But in this case what is the difference between knowing how and having the experience ? If you could know how then you should be able to recreate the experience for yourself and feel the feeling of being me ;) Then it means you are me so it means you couldn't know how I feel (because you won't be you at that time)... This is exactly what is uncommunicable about 1st person... And as I understood the question, it is about this, some parts of 1st person experiences are not communicable (in a 3rd sharable way) and not knowable apart from the person who experiences it.
