Getting sick and tired of the New Dark Ages everywhere I turn.

51. Common sense is never shoved in people's faces.

That's how you know it's both common and sense. You don't have to badger people with the blueness of the sky, the wetness of water, and the "fourness" of 2 + 2 - but fanatics and ideologues who want these things to be other than they are, have to bully and harangue and drive people mad. It drives them mad that reality doesn't respond to the force of their fury, so instead they just unleash that fury on something that can be beaten into submission - other people.

And common humanity is not some bizarre, abstract concept in need of esoteric justification. I don't know why you would think it is. Rejecting narcissism and hypocrisy is not rocket science. You can split verbal hairs ad infinitum if you have an interest in obfuscation, but putting equal moral weight on others as you do on yourself is a pretty straightforward idea.
