Sorry, but the real world "experiences" you speak of are all biased by an individuals PERCEPTION. Perception is reality and therefore all that which one "experiences" is based upon ones perception.

The problem lies when ones perception is skewed. I submit that every person's perceptions are altered by their respective realities. They are skewed by the sum total of each individuals life experiences, environment, personal perspective and general mood/emotional state.

So although the real world may have literal experience, it still may or may not be "real" based upon the individuals perspective.

As Albert Einstein said, "The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency."
