There's one problem I see. The present opinion/view may be correct. Using uncommon sense then becomes nonsensical. For example:1 + 1 = 2 [the way the world has been]1 + 1 = 3 [the way I think the...

jaredphau.---As you said it may be correct. What we think we know about the world changes with every nano-second that we are alive, so it may someday even be proven that 1+1 doesn't even exist. Yeah,...

Mmm. I think I was not clear. (So what else is new?) This thread is fine for discussing your concept of "un"common sense. I had only meant that if we wished to go on to examine your life tenets, maybe...
