But in this case what is the difference between knowing how and having the
experience ? If you could know how then you should be able to recreate the
experience for yourself and feel the feeling of being me ;) Then it means you
are me so it means you couldn't know how I feel (because you won't be you at
that time)... This is exactly what is uncommunicable about 1st person... And
as I understood the question, it is about this, some parts of 1st person
experiences are not communicable (in a 3rd sharable way) and not knowable
apart from the person who experiences it.
