And these are the math formulas that explain vast amounts about our physical universe. So, I think there's something to be said for common sense.
But then I'm not cool, am I? So, there goes my credibility.
Common sense is not a very reliable term any more than sprituality or god. There are so many interpretations and none that really add much value to the term. I am a common sense noncognitivist.
I don't know you personally and wouldn't judge anything you say based on how I felt about you anyway. You have said some facepalmingly stupid things so far but so have I. Pay attention and you might learn something here; I know I have learned a lot. Any time the term "common sense" has been applied to an argument or "fact" I have cringed. There is very little that is common between human experiences and most of it doesn't really make much sense.Rhizo
