“…In some areas that concern personal experiences, of course. That is why I don't use them to support my arguments….” – SE
Somehow you appear to tacitly exclude some of your experiences in life. How does this work? Is not everything you think and have learned a ‘personal experience’??? Using your logic again, an experience of thinking and believing in one’s own thinking is self-validating and a true tautology. This would leave you with nothing acceptable to you to support your arguments. . . at least IF one uses your own logic.
