Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think I might gonna read up a bit more on the topic, it’s quite interesting. I think my personal stance is more on the idea that there is a lot we share as a species (from words, to symbols and human basics) and that could be grouped as common sense. But perhaps my grasp of english fails me here. Looking at the etymology it also seemed to stem from “community” , what is common among a community. I would wager things were very common for his peers when Thomas Payne wrote his book “Common Sense” , a world to him that was largely very the same in style and substance. Perhaps that concept simply can longer apply in a pluralistic global world or in a modern sense like you point out with your examples.
