yes, i can accurately talk about anything w/o appealing to my own experience and it would be true. the knowledge by description vs knowledge by acquaintance distinction aka the analytic-synthetic description. You bring up a man-made object of which i have no experience of in a discussion. I can just make true analytic claims about the object you have brought up. I can say: That man-made object was made by a man. You could retort by saying that mojodakidd only knows that this man-made object was made by a man cause he only has experience of man-made objects being made by men, but this won't suffice as I have made an a-priori tautological claim about the man-made object without having to use any a posteriori evidence aka evidence from my own experience due to the definition of man-made objects entailing that a man made it. No experience needed to talk about any man-made object or anything at all when I can make tautological statements about it.

thoughts on creativity and education being platonic anamnesis? knowledge is in the soul from eternity, learning is rediscovering what one has forgotten so to speak

This is true, but then it is also true that every statement that is made is vacuous and meaningless unless you have the correct information. What is the difference between theoretical unknown object A, and theoretical unknown object B if there is no foundation of understanding?

Equations that just describe things like energy, mass, frequency and their relative differences.

Ok but with no context what does e=mc2 mean? It only has meaning because we understand what the letters and numbers reference. Light isnt universally known as c, that is the human interface that is used to mathematically describe it.

i can still talk about a man-made object without having experience of it, that was my point.

much like you might enjoy disconnecting from perceiving reality as it is, i like to think about it
