Common Sense and Intellect

DSP · (#1 (**permalink**))

Is common sense a part of intellect?Do they always have to be separate? Cansomeone develop both or arepeople just born with both, either, or neither. Many times they are addressed as separate cognitive concepts. On message boards and in the world of flesh and blood I see people intellectualize issues and ideas that may warrant just common sense or what some may deem logical reasoning however you define logical reasoning. Do you think common sense is becoming more uncommon?
