Answer 1

Somebody's growing up!

g4u for getting this

Personally, I can't stand how we call each other weird and can't recognize our own hubris when we can't balance free will with will power anyway. I've always believed in making jokes and confronting a situation as a leader instead of being PC and "playing" the "game of life". As we get older, we realize how age isn't as important as experience and that respect isn't as valuable as prestige. What most people fail to do is admit that they revere prestige more than they appreciate respect and that it is OK to fight for what you believe in instead of changing your thoughts.

Common sense. It just isn't that common these days.

Answer 2

Well, this question stretches my philosophy background- thank you for that, and let me try it on for size.
When I was three, it was commonsense to me that Santa could not get around to the whole world, because I couldn't even trick-or-treat in my whole apartment building complex in less than two hours.
It was also common sense that adults were never to be trusted from then on out, because they thought I was a stupid kid.
I never had much more common sense than that, unless I learned the hard way. This despite my curious mind that absorbed concepts like a sponge.
Living outside the norm, then, I studied psychology (a practical derivative of philosophy). I found that many people have no idea why they do what they do, and make up plenty of
COMMONSENSE EXCUSES.
And I have so many answers, based on research, and most people just don't want to hear it.

Until Kitty Genovese gets killed, and then people figure out that if each person does not decide to call 911 because oviously somebody already must have,
then no one will.
Stupid thing is, the diffusion of social responsibility (proven in many studies) STILL plagues us in the office world, wherein hardlty anyone cleans because everybody figures somebody will get to it, so nobody does.
Nowadays, people teaching CPR classes make sure everyone in the class understands that screaming "Somebody call 911!" will result in nothing, but poitning to one person and calmly looking them in these eyes ans saying "YOU. Call 911", might save a life.
Commonsense my foot.
Go tell Santa!

Answer 3

Well it is a bit limiting, that only the natural things we see everyday are possible. Tends to make people a bit more negative than usual. I find it incredibly uplifting to be "unrealistic".

Answer 4

Obtuseness.
