🤔💡 Wow, what a groundbreaking revelation that most people don't know Claude Shannon! Next up: the shocking insight that not everyone can recite the periodic table backwards. 🙄🌐 Meanwhile, the quest for "intellectual revolutions" continues, hopefully avoiding the "obscure fields" of common sense. 📚🔍

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rules on composition: it produces vigilance rather than elevation, rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often escapes miscarriages but seldom reaches either power or honor. It quenches that ardor of enterprise by which every thing is done that can claim praise or admiration; and represses that generous temerity which often fails and often succeeds. Rules may obviate faults, but can never confer beauties; and prudence keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

I saw cars, once even a truck, going the wrong way on the highway in Cambodia. But:
1) They were going on the edge of the highway, in the slowest lane.
2) They were going slow
3) They were (usually?) flashing their blinker in the direction out from the highwayNever seen a can going the wrong way on a highway in the fastest lane, unlike in Czechia.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
-- Albert Einstein -
I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.
Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.
This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.
To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.
All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.
For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.
To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.
I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.
Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.
There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...
➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles""Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".
Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.
➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question
We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.
So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.
#Lists are always good.

I struggle with the concept of #commonsense, which I prefer to call #commonprejudice. Especially when it's used to describe #default #mental #skills, usually labelled #thinking and #decisionmaking. Most folks in love with "common sense" & how it's absent these days, ironically are the same people that seem to be competing to win first place in showing absolute absence of any mental skills.

A quotation from Judith Martin
Eating grapes with a knife and fork is not what one would call refined. It is what one would call ludicrous.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]

#commonsense should be renamed.
The reason #kratom is in the #news is for SUCH A DUMB reason.
There are these shots that look like 5 Hour Energy called Feel Good, which is a #legalhigh you can get at gas stations or smoke shops which people were SHOCKED by how addicted they got.
Kratom is a primary ingredient.
My common sense told me that anything that gets you high from a gas station is #addictive. I guess most people missed the memo and some critical thinking skills.

It's really curious... I post something about the connections between #math and #magic, between #Science and #Esotericism, between #BeliefSystems in #technology and #religion, and it's unlikely that people react to my post.
Let's face it, if thinking about the history of #CommonSense and science amounts to #heresy then it's #scientism.

@Herbivore something @uanrah taught me: vote as radical as possible while keeping in line with #humanrights and #commonsense. One, any results we'll see will be watered down. Two, politics leaning toward (or openly) #fascism #greed #lobbyism #nestle #fossilfuels have normalized radical and inhuman political action to a point of absurdity. We need these opposite voices. THANK YOU every one who works to sow seeds of #compassion and #peace.

🚨 Breaking News: "HyperTyping" is the new hipster way to say "I wrote a complicated mess and called it safety" ☕. The author bravely fights against the tyranny of common sense by advocating for simpler types in #TypeScript. Because, apparently, we need a whole article to tell us that a tangled web of types might be a bad idea. 🕸️🔍

#colonelwest via #GillianHart : "What #Gramsci gives us is a way to think about structural constraints and #conjunctural possibilities."
(...)
You should always start with #commonsense, as that was is being taken for granted, as a popular understandings of what is going on. Common sense always already contains critical elements and are always contradictory. What are the organisational forms and processes through which common sese can become more collective, more coherent and more critical, in a way that enables collective critical actions and practices.
That is far more complex and challenging than left #populism. We have seen the limits of those in spain and greece.
(...)
What we can see, are two different forms of #neoliberal hegemony: On the one hand, what #Mbeki, #Clinton, #Blair, #Obama, represent is a liberal form of neoliberal hegemony, that seeks to neutralize the popular antagonisms that are the workings of neoliberal #capitalism. On the other hand, what #zuma #modi #trump represent, is a #populist form of this #hegemony, that tries to mobilize these social antagonisms, more often than not in terms of #race, #religion, #xenophobia, but then tries to keep control over that, which is where the #authoritarian character of that [shows].In:
