Neighbor: Hey cutie, haven't seen you and that little kid for a while?
Me: Yeah, I was hospitalized for some personal reason.
Neighbor: Oh sorry to hear that. Who's the cute little guy by the way?
Me: My younger brother. His name is In-So
Neighbor: : My 5 year old daughter seems to like your younger brother very much. She always look out for him.
Me: Oh yeah? *smiles naughtily* Okay I'll ask him to play with her. :p

Lol, I'm teasing my bro now. :D

My bro is a shy kid. He only plays with either me or dad (just recently, with my mom; who is his step mom). He rarely plays with other kids. I'm trying to convince him to play with Sasha (my neighbor's daughter).

And yeah, he's kinda like me when I was a kid. He plays water gun and robots. He sometimes borrow my phone and play with my apps. He doesn't play trains. Even"love trains" :D

I missed almost a month in my class so I will need to pass a lot of requirements in order to make up for my absences and yeah, I will be taking a special final exam later (going to study for that for almost only 5 hours). Oh well, stupid actions meet great consequences. :p

"Common" doesn't always refer to popularity or the frequency of incident, or even to something shared... Think "French Revolution," Aristocrats and Commoners... a clear class division--that which is "common" is of the Commoners. It's a way of thinking that contrasts with the "reason" used by the more intellectually and socially cultured. So is "common" a good thing or a bad thing? Either, depending on how it's used. I think it's more often a good thing, as in the case of the practical and pragmatic wisdom that Commoners can employ that serves them in good stead--that has them wash a stained pair of pants for reuse, rather than throw it out and have a new pair made. That "common" sense.

I came here after following 4consideration's footprints all over the place.

If anyone is wondering what they looked like, here you go:

That is an interesting distinction that you are making there. I think most often "common sense" is a good standard for actions in daily life. Whereas, theoretical thinking is valuable in exploration of ideas, and what possible new avenues may be available for pursuit.

In reading your post, what comes to mind is reality vs. strictly theoretical type of thinking.

I would imagine that for something to be considered "common sense" it is an indication that it has to some degree passed a "reality check." If it is something considered true or valuable to the "commoner" the basis for considering it to be so would most likely be real-world experience and application, rather than it having been taught to be so in a classroom, or decided that it must be so because it was sounds so good theoretically -- and other smart people agree -- so it must be true.

I think the best case scenario is to explore new and different ideas and avenues, and put it through a "reality check" before decided it is valid -- to make sure that it works well, and as intended, which it where it would become "common sense" to me. If it makes sense to the commoner, it seems like it is something that obviously works and can be observed and replicated. If you have to be an intellectual to uderstand, that may be an indication that it can't be demonstrated to work.

I think that pure scientists do this well. I think other field of endeavor could use more of this "common sense" in practise.

Things some people just don't get:
- a concept: it's nothing in particular.
- relativity: you know what I mean.
- non-existence: it doesn't exist!
