The Ethics of Learning from Experience @ Comprehensivist Wednesdays

What is the correct or proper way to learn from experience? That is, what ethical considerations are involved in learning from experience?

Our exploration of this question will be instigated by the controversial R. Buckminster Fuller quote "My definition of the word believe means to accept an explanation of physical phenomena without any experiential evidence. At the outset of my resolve not only to do my own thinking but to keep that thinking concerned only with directly experienced evidence, I resolved to abandon completely all that I ever had been taught to believe."

A survey of the subject from many perspectives for our interactive group exploration are in my essay at https://www.cjfearnley.com/CfC/2021/12/the-ethics-of-learning-from-experience/

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
