When it comes down to it, the only real source of information is being present to the moment. all other thought, information, or observation etc. is secondhand experience at best and blinding at worst.
Why are you spending your life consuming secondhand experience? How is anyone elses experience more valuable than your own?

Experience is limited to your lifespan. Vicarious experiences allow you to transport yourself to different times and places. It allows you to gain a holistic view of history. Oddly enough, by understanding others' experiences, you also begin to understand a bit more of your own. By studying the past, you see why things are the way they are at present, and, possibly, even where they are bound to go for the future.
