Of course I can share it. But not in an empirical sense. You could share the data with about what you had for breakfast this day a year ago (for some reason you noted it in your diary) but at the end of the day I would have to believe you on it. It warrants a thread "What its like to know God (by people who do".
But what if you told me that you had "Dorkamifluffink" for breakfast a year ago?
I asked you to make me some, or give me a list of ingredients to get a t the grocery store, or provide a recipe so I could have a taste, but of course you couldn't do that.
You told me that it's something that you and only you can make, alone, inside your own kitchen and you had no way of sharing it with anyone else. In fact, you say that "Dorkamifluffink" is actually
invisible and can't actually be tasted, smelt, felt, heard, or seen.
You can only tell people how eating this undetectable stuff makes you feel about life, and at the end of the day, I would have to take your word for it that "Dorkamifluffink" actually exists, and that you had some for breakfast a year ago.
See the difference between "Dorkamifluffink" and, say, porridge in regards to it's believeability and plausibility?
