we can only explain based on experience

Whenever someone talks about something, it always, or for the most part, appears not so unique. We're experienced based animals and the only way we can make sense of anything that happens presently is based on past experience.

So what would be new? Everything we interpret is based on the subjective bias of our experiences so what's unique about anything?

I just saw a thread about imagination is more important than knowledge and I totally agree. At the same time, that imagination may have a unique idea but with some trend of basic physics behind it, so does it really come as a surprise?

This is very true. Our semantic tendencies and the words we used are necessarily determined by our unique experiences in life. It's a miracle of evolution that we manage to make any sense to each other at all.

in a modern type way.
