Ofc the lived experience itself is valid. I did experience what I experienced, from the inside, and you can't tell me no, I didn't - saying that is uncompassionate. What you *can* say is that there's a lot of ways to make sense of that experience besides the one you think.

To me at least, 'lived experiences' as a term on social media felt like a way for narcissists to place their own anecdotes over statistical reality.

Lived experiences are your only proof of knowledge for most things. Don’t discount reality just because you didn’t know how it worked back then. Integrate with your modern senses. Learn from those experiences and tell a new mythology.

Scientists call that anecdotal evidence. It doesn't lead to facts or truths, just an internal, sometimes emotional, mental upvote for the topic at hand. You can only extrapolate based on your own efforts/attitudes - "I felt __ last time and did X, maybe I should Y this time."

I’m glad to still remind you that you are still saved. You were bought with a price when you believed the gospel. Saying you are not a Christian doesn’t separate you from God. You’ve been sealed with the spirit of promise.

The same is true for libertarianism. You might think you are solely responsible for your successes in live and so we live in a meritocracy. So it would be the best for the state to get out of the way of individual drive. But that ignores how much luck is involved.

Can everyone stop saying “lived experience”. It’s completely redundant and serves no purpose. I don’t know when it started, but it feels like the kind of bullshit newspeak coming from academic sociology.

It's not, though. The predominant use of the term "experience" in modern society is in objective reference to vocational and professional skills. It's not redundant to modify that expectation to focus on the subjectivity of SOME experiences. Vicarious exp. is also a thing.
