We dig into whether common sense is truly universal or just experience we forget we learned, using stories from removals work, horse yards, martial arts, and everyday life. We challenge the idea that intelligence equals good judgement, and we leave with a blunt reminder that “obvious” depends on context, culture, and consequences. 
• defining common sense as practical judgement built from everyday experience 
• separating intelligence and education from real-world decision-making 
• workplace examples where bright people miss basic safety and sequencing 
• horse safety and why “obvious” depends on exposure and coaching 
• military range habits and driving rules as learned behaviour 
• consequences and incentives shown through the weekly racoon-rubbish mess 
• a tragic balcony failure that shows cost-cutting can kill 
• how common sense changes over time with evidence and social norms 
• the real context behind the McDonald’s hot coffee case 
• culture and communication shaping what gets labelled “common sense” 
• takeaways for leadership, parenting, relationships, and managing expectations
