Common sense is a rarity in people nowadays. This has created many problems, one of which is that people tend to listen to others’ opinions and accept them as their own thoughts, rather than trusting their own common sense and intuition. For example, they often rely on AI, doctors, celebrities, politicians, or other authority figures more than on themselves, who yes given plenty of incorrect information, allot of times intentionally. They might know something is a lie but ignore their skepticism because “Celebrity A” said it’s true. Sometimes, they even listen to their uninformed neighbors more than to themselves or to people on social media, who, ironically, also don’t listen to their own judgment. It’s a clown world.

    That is a movie! Common sense is NOT referring to other people. It’s basically knowledge accumulated through observation, experience and obviousness (a dictionary will help to prove it’s closer to my explanation than yours). Like it’s common sense don’t put your hand in a damn fire. Good God, even you all seem like you are fiending to have others to tell you what to think.
