Other's like Descartes proposed that the source of knowledge is the mind, so the did introspection and mathematical deductions not experiments. So my point is tha what is an experiment in a philosophical setting isn't that clear cut an issue. It depends on your philosophical system.
I like this experience-scholium that you've proposed here, theosophers. From the point of view of a professional philosopher it is funny indeed. What is an experiment isn't something given, but arrived at by philosophy, the empiricist philosophy of Galileo. His philosophy was an answer to a central question that posed Plato some millenia ago and it goes like this "what's the source of knowledge?" Galileo's answer was that the source of knoweledge is experience, so he did experiments.
Hi, I have been watching your videos. It seems that you limit youself to only dabbling with ideas. Aren't there any experiments that you can do to test the ideas that you dabble with?
Knowing through experience is much more sure, wouldn't you agree?
It is rather odd to comment that he is not 'knowing through experience' when intentionality seeks to describe the very nature of experience. We can't very well philosophize about experiences if we don't somehow refer to them can we?
I suggest you spend some time with Indra's net.
Question: We are all prisoners of the same device. Does that all include just sentient beings or does it mean everything down to the last quark?

You do some experiments with intentionality.

Experiments (and experience) are made possible by intentionality, without which experimental science would at best be dogmatic.
