I find experience to be a bad explanation here, because a course can absolutely teach you all these things that are discussed in the article.

Sewing? The course will explain and show you, after which you gain experience by practice. Making financial decisions? This rests a lot on knowing facts about how financials work, and a course is absolutely one correct way of learning those.

For experience, I'd rather think of things like - how do you cope with the death of a loved one? How do you decide who to be or what to do? How do you manage your emotions, streghts and weaknesses?




Some experiments are not replaceable. People need somebody to promise that "it will be ok".


It doesn't matter whether that person is right or has a clue themselves?


Unfortunately not. Perhaps because the result is too important, someone want to trust people they are familiar with only.
