I talked with a friend about the Kamala Harris 60 minutes interview which he watched but I didn’t. During that interview she talked about „lived experience“ and we disagreed what that meant and what it implies.
Does anyone have a good explanation of the term, preferably citable?

The main point of contention was if lived experience can be substituted through other means.

I have added a sentence at the bottom of my post.

Can one gain this knowledge through other means than lived experience? Can one understand these lived experiences through for example empathy and/or an intellectual approach?

Can someone? Probably. On average? Probably not. I think the whole point in the context of politics is that its a good idea to put people in charge of policy where they know what the affected people have been through. Its the difference between putting AOC or a white male boomer in charge of labour policy affecting millenials. Can the white male boomer empathize with underemployed overleveraged millennials? Yes, but I know where I’d place my bets.

I’m sure there’s a metaphor for 2020 in here:

Not sure what I was expecting, but it sure as hell wasn’t that.

2020 just keeps bringing the hits, doesn’t it?

Titan, but he was 90, a good run

He was an advocate of slapping women, and an ardent Scottish nationalist living abroad where his wealth and distance would insulate him from the potentially ruinous effects of his politics.

On the other hand he was the best Bond.

Fake news he said “shlapping women”.

There are no ski chases in any of Connery’s Bond movies.

Pretty cool. I put this up there with Good, Bad and the Ugly, Jaws and Star Wars for iconic movie themes. What else?
