94. Your definition of "common sense" is quite odd.

You don't have to badger people with the blueness of the sky, the wetness of water, and the "fourness" of 2 + 2.

What you describe here are facts -- NOT common sense.

And common humanity is not some bizarre, abstract concept in need of esoteric justification. I don't know why you would think it is.

As I don't know why you would think you know what I think. I'm hardly the only one who feels your communication is less than clear on this thread.
