If you ask someone that question, I would hope that you have things you want to show and share with someone. Otherwise, the statement is pretty pointless.
Well, I quite agree that while we assume we're seeing the same world, we really have no way of knowing- and often, demonstrably, we are not. We can try, however, and sometimes, we do have that hermetic moment of perfect understanding- it can't be sustained, or forced, but it does happen, sometimes, that we sometimes, just-for-a-moment 'get it'. And isn't it delightful when it does work? How sweet and exciting when you really do understand what someone is saying, or seeing. Why not try? I mean, the world isn't going to change much either way, but it's kinda cool when it works.

It's all about learning.
Perspectives.
Etc.

I expect I could share the same experience with you- same place, same time, etc. and have an entirely different experience perception & understanding
so again really, can we share?

If we can't communicate, this whole race is DOOOMED!

I expect we can communicate concrete needs in term of action and functional tasks... just not experience.
