Don’t bother looking up the definition. COMMON SENSE definition from the Cambridge English Dictionary is absurd:
“the ability to use good judgment in making decisions and to live in a reasonable and safe way.”
Then what the heck is intelligence, reason? What does ‘living’, in anyway: have to do with any sense, let alone a common one?
Common is belonging to a community, something equally known to all.
Sense according to Oxford is “a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.”
An ability is NOT a faculty. (That would be hard for most democrats, that is a concept versus a concept.)
Perception of an external stimuli, applied to known conditions results in: a common sense.
Those known conditions are what makes common sense, common.
All people to some degree have come in contact with another person. That contact results in knowledge. If that knowledge is then not applied the next time contact with a person is made the lack of the application of that ‘common sense’ always causes failure. Common sense is what is lacking in not repeating history.
So common sense is actually, the acquired knowledge of progression. If you have lived long enough to experience different things you will begin to collect that commaon knowledge as well. Should you decide to ignore it, there in lies a democrat.
Because democrats, meaning well: sadly, cannot fathom a concept. Since they cannot, they are unable to know, when their goal needs acquiring, and when it can just be dictated. The Democrat solution to a problem, is to impose the result. Common sense will tell anyone who paid attention to their life, that jumping to a conclusion is also quite fatal.
It is rather ironic that being aware of a standard, pretty much always the same progression of events leading up to something different: ie: the learning of progression, is missed by progressives. Fitting actually.
COMMON SENSE:
“Perception of an external stimuli, applied to known conditions.”
