Wikipedia defines common sense as “knowledge, judgement, and taste which is more or less universal and which is held more or less without reflection or argument”

Try to avoid using this topic to express niche or unpopular opinions (they’re a dime a dozen) but instead consider provable intuitive facts.

    Of course! Our society couldn’t have multiple moving parts, could it?

    And honestly, that’s a great example of the shortcomings of “common sense”. What people mean when they say there’s not enough common sense is that the people who aren’t “common” (like them) must all be stupid. In reality, pretty much everyone in every position is doing exactly what anyone would, if only they knew the situation.
