Sure I've seen those things on the television, but that's not my guitar
experience. I did love Jimi Hendrix. Who didn't? But I doubt that we
had
identical experiences. I'm sure we didn't.

Ok, forget guitars for a second. You posted the YouTube link to Jill
Taylor's TED talk. I watched it. I would say that our shared experience
of
this event has more in common than it we had both attended the conference
and been in the audience. We both saw it and heard it from the exact same
point of view. If we actually wanted to share an even more identical
experience we could each watch in darkened sound proof rooms with the
thermostats set to the same temperature. Even minor environmental
differences aside our memories of the event are very similar and any
discrepancies between what you remember and what I remember can easily be
resolved by accessing the stored memory of the even that we both share on
the TED site.

That's just it. How do you explain that experience? What percentage of
it was direct preintellectual experience that we could share? Other than
presenting the viewers with a brain and Ms. Taylor's body language, it was
mostly analogy. And how much of the experience was my static pattens
overlaying and intermingling with Ms. Taylor analogies. Yours, of course,
would be different.
That's what I was trying to explain with the opposite-from-non-zebra as a
static pattern of value. It represents ALL my instances of zebra as
opposed to a specific idea of a zebra. I see a zebra and immediately my
mind overlays my seeing the zebra with this zebra-spov
(opposite-from-non-zebra). There is very little direct, unadulterated,
preintellectual experience. It's is mostly generalization. Empty space
like in an atom. The direct preintellectual experience is the NOW, the
rest is warmed up leftovers.
To get back to Ms. Taylor's TED talk. To disintegrate further any idea of a
shared experience. I would like to add that you and I are watching and
hearing a computer monitor and speakers, not a woman with grey matter. No
TED stage. No Ms. Taylor. No brain. Not even the same computer screen.
Isn't that strange? So what about the experience do we share?
