Does this convince you that it makes sense to ask what other people
experience?
Nobody KNOWS what other people experience. We can KNOW only
what other people communicate about their experience. Just as:
our experience is a first person secret, even we ourselves don't 'know'

for the co-occurrence as observer-moments of the same observer (or
co-occurrence in the
same universe, is that maybe equivalent?) .
