I Do Suppose "Common Sense Is A Con"

I bet all of you reading this are now thinking:
"What! There is no con!"
Well again you are wrong, first of all, what really is common sense? You don't know right? That fine, nobody actually knows what it is, they just think they do, and therefore a common problem occurs when we think we know something.


Whenever you think you know something, all it is is an opinion, your opinion, for example,
"I think this post is amazing" That's only my opinion, somebody else may think something different to me. Now, don't worry, all this does link in to my original statement, and some of you may have already guessed what I'm going to say.


Has somebody ever said to you,
"Use your common sense"
Well that is asking you to use what you think to be common sense right? Well, first of all, if you had somehow thought up what you think common sense is, you would never of not used it, so there's the first problem. However secondly, the person who is telling you to use your common sense is relying on the fact that your common sense and their common sense are the same. In case I lost you there basically their expecting that by you using your common sense you will do what they think is common sense.


So therefore we seem to have established that subconsciously what we think is common sense, everyone else must think is common sense. However, if nobody really knows what common sense is, then how will this work, everyone must all think common sense is the same thing, which then means that under every situation, all Six Billion people on the planet will act in exactly the same way, because everyone has the same common sense. This will basically mean that everyone has the same personality and is only different because of their looks, and that's just silly.


So seeing as we are not all the same, its pretty obvious that this whole common sense thing, whatever it is, is a con, a trick. Personally I don't really see how it's worth tricking people but who the hell came up with this idea? I think it's stupid.


Next time somebody says,
"Use your common sense" ask them, "What is common sense?".
See what they say then.
