experience
Experience is the process through which conscious organisms perceive the world around them. Experiences can be accompanied by active awareness on the part of the person having the experience, although they need not be. Experience is the primary subject of various subfields of philosophy, including the philosophy of perception, the philosophy of mind, and phenomenology.
Several different senses of the word "experience" should be distinguished from one another. In the sense of the word under discussion here, "experience" means something along the lines of "perception", "sensation", or "observation". In this sense of the word, knowledge gained from experience is called "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge". This can include descriptive knowledge (e.g. finding out that certain things are true based on sensory experience), procedural knowledge (e.g. learning how to perform a particular task based on sensory experience), or knowledge by acquaintance (e.g. familiarity with certain people, places, or objects based on direct exposure to them).
In ordinary language, the word "experience" may instead sometimes refer to one's level of competence or expertise, either in general or confined to a particular subject. In this sense of the word, "experience" generally refers to know-how rather than descriptive knowledge (or in other words, on-the-job training rather than book-learning). This article is not about "experience" in this sense, but is instead about the immediate perception of events.
I have a Gen4 G20 10mm. Recently I received a diamond threaded barrel and a gen3 ported slide in a trade. I need to change the guide rod/spring due to slide being a gen3. Does anyone have experience doing this? What pound of spring should I use with a ported slide?
I recently came across some 8 gauge ammo with a belt on it made for kiln guns and was wondering if anyone has shot/use one of these before? Any info would be great.
Also if you know where I could potentially get to see one or shoot one that would be awesome as well.
I've been here a few times. In the past it's been an alright experience. I went recently though, and they have a newer employee that is incredibly inappropriate and a disturbed individual. They were talking a lot about the voices in their head they hear, making very inappropriate and...
Anyone have experience with this outfit? They appear to be based in Illinois. They've got a couple items that I'm interested in, but want to do due diligence before dropping that kind of coin. Thanks much. :)
My next door neighbors are excellent people I have come to know very well over many years. I have helped them many times with a couple RVs they have owned, and other typical 'neighborly' type things and they me as well. They have often invited me over for outdoor parties & BBQ they have had...
I had a Streamlight set up on two HD/SHTF rifles in the past. I off loaded both as they were huge and heavy.
I want to have a source of light on both still but I haven’t decide/committed to anything yet.
Looking for some feedback on Arisakas 300 series and their 18650 series if anyone has any...
John Zerzan (anarchist/primitivist) was a guest on coast to coast this evening. He appears to be in favor of the world population ditching all technology and reverting back to a hunter gatherer lifestyle. That seems pretty rediculous except for the part about the freedom from rule you would gain...
I found this review on Reddit of our community. I'm not trying the call anyone out, he obviously wants anonymity which I respect.
That being said I haven't found this site to be much of what he said. I happen to like that this place isn't as moderated as other places, I've seen plenty of...
