Over the course of 30+ years as a Special Education teacher, I encountered many students with considerable academic deficits but had "expertise" or what we called splinter skills in other areas. Case in point, I was working in a mental hospital with a young man with a severe hearing impairment. He was also academically very challenged for various reasons. One day I locked my keys in my truck and asked if anyone knew how to get into it. That young man who probably tested in the intellectually challenged range was in that vehicle within thirty seconds with no damage...

Well, no complaint because the conversation is interesting but, it has started talking more about common sense and stupid behaviors.
But my original focus was no really about common sense but about people understanding how the work around them worked......having no comprehension of the physical world. You can have common sense and still not understand the world you live in.

Then I went on the become an engineer, then a graduate degree in engineering and taught college while leading large design and manufacturing operations. So I guess it is my experiences with the physical world that makes me comfortable I somewhat understand it. But my opening salvo was that I don't expect people to be engineers or physicists but if you spend any time awake in the real world you will have an inherent sense that something flimsy in your hand like a downspout isn't going to hold a chained tree. That's like carrying a bowling ball in a wet paper bag. Like shoppers who go to pick up their refrigerator in their Toyota Prius then sit there trying to jam it into the back seat. Or the people removing a couch from a third story window and the guy on the ground trying to catch it. etcetera... Those kinda of things are a special kind of stupid and you dont need to be worldly to avoid that....

second question.... I hadn't thought of it that way. I was thinking common sense is more about how to behave and "inherent sense" is more about understanding things. But I concede they could be interchangeable.

For example consider the phrase "see the world through my own eyes". Which in that specific context I think everybody does.... But consider while technically partially correct, in that the eye is the mechanical transducer "through" which different frequencies of light waves hit the photoreceptors and are turned into electrical signals,.... BUT in reality it is the brain which "sees" the image. The profound implications of this simple scientific fact, often go unrecognized and are just taken for granted or simply overlooked, as to the relevance of the broader context of the illusion of realty. I'll go one step further, and posit there is no color in objects we see in our illusions of reality. Rather there are collections of atoms and molecules that reflect certain frequencies of light. Which are transmitted as electrical signals (which are arguably is colorless) from our eyes to the brain, which then assigns as a "color"

Boy, this thread really went into a deep,deep rabbit hole.
Anyway, it has been my experience that people get by somehow... ...or they don’t and somebody else gets by for them.

Because there is no "alternate" in applying the common sense observation of the vast difference between what the normal capability of human (all humans ) sensory perception allow us to "see, feel, smell, and hear" in our world ,,, and what is actually going on in the sub sensory sub atomic level , which is in fact the fundamental reality of the world around us. Yet is vastly different than what we perceive. All one need do is look through a microscope or a telescope to begin to understand that difference, and that concept. Now I do understand it is not comfortable for many, to actually look at this concept of difference objectively, and acknowledge, what that "difference" might ultimately entail . Because in doing so the inevitable logical conclusion reasoned out, may very well mean that besides our sensory perceptions, ( being to some extent part illusion) , that our mental perceptions, about the world around us, (that we have convinced ourselves are just "realistic" or "reality based") in fact may not completely align with actual reality either
