Comment on There was a time when everyone had common sense

Common sense is limited by the population size that shares the same way of thinking.
What’s common sense to one group, isn’t to the other. Common sense is people specific, not global.

That’s an interesting observation I’d never thought about before. You’re right, “common” just refers to the common culture around you. The common sense approach to something in Germany might be entirely different than common sense solution in Japan.

Like taking off your shoes before entering someone’s home. Why bring street dirt into a living space? Common sense in many asian countries, non-existant sense in the netherlands.
