I personally think common sense is often a bit rubbish. Christopher (talk) 07:34, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * There are a few scientific theories that go against common sense, even though they are supported by logic and evidence. They just look odd. Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 12:40, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Common sense is good for things we evolved around like fire but breaks down when you apply it to anything we didn't evolve needing to be correct about. Christopher (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * God that makes me sound like I endorse evolutionary psychology. (I don't). Christopher (talk) 14:24, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ...What?
 * First of all, what you said about common sense is perfectly correct. I was just about to it!
 * Secondly, I think you may be confusing "shit manosphere/PUA/woo pseudo-EP" with the actual science — but don't worry, you wouldn't be the first to make that mistake (me included). Reverend Black Percy (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I hadn't really realised there was an actual scientific field as opposed to "women were less likely to need to to run away from predators therefore they're less intelligent". I suspect evolutionary psychologists find it as insulting as confusing astrology and astronomy. Christopher (talk) 14:54, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
