Researchers at the Betootian Tertiary Education University of Tautology have discovered a discovery in the early AM hours of this morning.
Lead Researcher, Dr Murray Rankin (59) who lives alone by himself, claims to have unintentionally discovered by mistake that ‘lived experience’ is the only type of experience humans can have.
“I think of it as an unexpected free gift that cost nothing at all,” Rankin said with such excitement he could hardly contain his enthusiasm. “Just as a square has four sides, and all unmarried men are bachelors, lived experience is the only type of experience humans can have,” he said twice over in different words.
The Advocate understands that the revelation revealed itself while Rankin was reflecting on an experience he had recently lived. Reportedly, he got a brain freeze from a choc mint ice-cream at the Betoota Lakes Farmer’s Market.
He realised that this was both an experience and a lived experience which he had lived and experienced while being alive and that all of his lived experiences to date were the only type of experiences he could ever have.
“The brain freeze was so cold!” he also confirmed.
The startling discovery has become known as ‘Rankin’s Axiom Principle’, and it is something that the man himself believes will stand up to any scrutiny over time.
“The reliable result is something that can be relied upon,” said the man with the round, circular face while drinking Chai Tea. “Experience can only be lived and experienced as lived experience. If you didn’t live the experience, it wasn’t yours but someone else’s.”
Rankin is an experienced researcher with decades of experience in researching.
Well-respected by his peers and admired by his colleagues, Rankin’s Axiom Principle has already entered into the University’s curriculum and is now being taught by lecturers during lectures.
Since discovering the discovery, Rankin’s lived experience has encapsulated everything he has experienced both before and after it. And the researcher hypothesises that, in the future, most if not all humans will continue to only experience those experiences that they themselves have lived.
More to come ahead over time in the future.
