Are You Experienced?

“The only people who truly know about death are dead.”
Since the beginning of time people have always wanted to know what it was like to do something. But The Chemical Buddha quickly realized that the only ones who know what’s it like to say, walk on the moon, are the ones who’ve done it. So no amount of metaphor or virtual reality could take the place of actually doing it. For instance, sex with a blow-up doll doesn’t mean you’ve actually had sex. It’s still just masturbation. The Chemical Buddha also learned there were some things he’d rather not experience. Because although TCB used the above insight to explain a lot of things, it was based off the ‘experience’ of working, and he twisted it to fit a lot of other meanings.
What do you what to know about without actually experiencing it?
What about the actual experience intrigues you enough to want to learn about it, but scares you so much you don’t actually want to do it?
