"Common sense" is a thought-stopping phrase and concept. It is the same as saying, "Just go with cultural traditions which support prejudice and oppression because those are familiar and comfortable."

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.
There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...
➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles"
"Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".
Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.
➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)
💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question
We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.
So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.
#Lists are always good.
#CommonSense #List of #Principles
= #Answer for #Ambiguous #words or #phrases in #Debate
