What's called "common sense" is usually just unexamined prejudices and assumptions.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-31 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Um. Not at all. People with common sense can often be emotionally or situationally intuitive.

Assumptive people tend to be asses and put their foot in their mouths a lot. Prejudiced people are bigots. That's the opposite of common sense.

Common sense has to do with people who make good judgement calls and life choices. Someone who makes assumptions doesn't have common sense. Someone who is prejudiced doesn't have common sense. Someone with common sense would see right through prejudice.

What?

Assumptions are a cornerstone to making decisions. Any decisions, good or bad. Simply because you can't know everything. If you treat those assumptions as fact without evidence or you make them based on prejudice, then, yeah, that's wrong.

Example: You're choosing between two brands of sauce you've never tried before, you might make assumptions about the quality based on the price or the brand name and you might make assumptions about taste based on the ingredients or nutritional information. Even if you randomly choose one, you're making an assumption that it will be acceptable and if you decide not to go with either, you're making an assumption that both are unacceptable. You could be right or wrong about any of these assumptions.

Yeah, that's fair. I was more of-put on the assertion that someone with common sense is relying on prejudices, and didn't word things as carefully as I should have.

Re: What?

nayrt

I think we're making a lot of generalizations here, you're both right. Common sense does rely on lots of assumptions, but not all assumptions are common sense. Prejudice is not really common sense. Some assumptions are based off of ideas that seem logical: the more expensive spaghetti sauce probably has better ingredients and is a finer quality. That might not necessarily be true, but it's a logical guess. Assuming that black people can't swim isn't a logical assumption even if your grandparents told you it all the time. There's no logical thought process behind that assumption, it's pure prejudice.

No. Common sense, IS based off of socially accepted prejudice and appearance.

You simply don't know what common sense is.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-31 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
That is an especially bizarre interpretation you've got going there.
