We often lack attention to common sense, which sounds like a joke, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that many of our mistakes are caused by disrespect for common sense. For example, it is common sense that pies can't fall from the sky. But now, how many people believe that there will really be pies in the sky. At present, swindlers are in droves and business is booming. The number of deceived people is higher and higher, and there are many people. Why? So far, in fact, although scammers have different means, the main point is exactly the same: creating the myth of pie falling from the sky. You can't help it if you don't believe him. If you believe it, you will fall into a trap. Such as "achievement project" against common sense, development goal against common sense, statistical data against common sense, blind command against common sense, and judgment against judicial common sense. In fact, people often make mistakes not because they lack advanced theories and do not understand dialectics, but because they ignore and disrespect common sense. Faced with complex work and social masses with different needs and personalities, they cannot fully perform their duties without strong comprehensive literacy and extensive knowledge. National cadres should have extensive knowledge, profound knowledge and common sense of life.
There are many reasons for violating common sense, such as the thinking mode of reading above all else, the mentality of blindly worshipping and following the crowd, the habit of being insatiable and getting something for nothing, and so on. But more is to turn a blind eye to common sense, or deliberately bypass it. This kind of thinking that ignores common sense is fully reflected in people's self-deceiving praise of things that don't exist, until we are familiar with such pseudo-knowledge as "changing water into oil", "Dr. Shen Hu" and "x 10,000 Jin per mu". The falsity of this "knowledge" is not that they deny common sense, but that they simply ignore it. People know it is impossible, but they just echo it, just like those people in Andersen's works praise the beauty of the emperor's "new clothes" with one voice. It can be seen that many times "thinking without common sense" is not because of true ignorance, but only because of the lack of conscience! This kind of thing is rampant, not because of the low scientific level, but because of institutional defects. But if this situation persists for a long time, in turn, people will gradually get used to "ignoring common sense", so that not only their conscience will deteriorate, but also their intelligence will deteriorate. In this case, advocating common sense education is not only saving knowledge, but also saving conscience.
What we often advocate is upholding the truth and respecting science, which is of course necessary. However, it is not easy for people to stick to the truth and respect science. Moreover, there is often no absolute truth in the world, and mastering modern scientific knowledge is not the quality that everyone can have. To this end, it is better to settle for the second best, starting with advocating respect for common sense.
