    Our “Common Sense" is not derived from what is true in Nature but from the limits on how our senses interact with Nature.

        @neiltyson @vikeman6432 Sorry NDT our common sense derives from those who raised us with the ability to decide what right and wrong.

        @vikeman6432 @freighttrain83 What you describe is morality, not common sense. And it’s anything but common.
