The problem with common sense as a problem is that it is vaguely broad. Is mammalian cognition common sense? What about bee cognition?

either bee or mammalian would be a massive breakthrough or

It strikes me that most approaches to this have failed because they do not involve an embodied agent that is grounding language & knowledge to it senses and actions. There are many other challenges, but it seems like a non-starter without that.

You dont program common sense. The correct memory build and recall architecture builds common sense naturally, like babies. If you focus on what CS is you'll be defining it forever. Copy nature. It gives us big clues.

Common sense is common because the world we're bound by is common. We experience it in its fullness or at least enough so that it matters. A machine will never have the full phenomenological experience of life and therefore not have the criteria to form common sense judgments.
