"Common sense" is what you invoke when you cannot support your beliefs with either "real arguments" or "real data."
Common sense is the noise that comes out of you when all you've got is the vague sense that you must be right--somehow?--but even *you* don't know why you think that.
Common sense is a slogan for shutting down arguments without having to know or prove anything.
Version) @TopNotchSwords@mastodon.social@doctorambient Agreed. Imo "common sense" and "intuition" are synonymous and both are usually wrong.
@TopNotchSwords True!
English has a lot of expressions for trying to make bullshit sound like reason.
