Entejay you have become what you dispise the the most. You are only in a different "flock". Because if you actually saw what I wrote you would have seen that I said that common sense isn't all that common and you saw it as otherwise and interpreted the way you wanted to. So you did not SEE what was written because you didn't want to because you were to blinded by what you believe to be true. Seeing as you qouted Napoleon I think this millitary adage will make make sense to you: Proper Planing and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. That is common sense! Not the hogwash you came up with.

And again Entejay you do not See what is in front of you. I never said common sense leads to success, even the military adage does not guarantee it, it merely ingreases the odds of succsess (If you havent already, read Sun Tsu- The Art of War, then you will see common sense in action). Because when the unexpected occures you have options and you did the proper planning and peraration  then you will be more capable in dealing with it the issue at hand. None of this Que Sera Sera victim attitude. And again I said that COMMON SENSE ISN'T ALL THAT COMMON. What you keep on refering to with "sheeple" and society actions are people following popular culture of the day, caprice referred to it as preconceived notions. Now native knowledge is based on logic, knowledge, experience and wisdom, the critical think that she also referred to. 

Insead of raging against your "sheeple" you might want to try  You will be amazed at what you can acieve. Like the saying goes "Don't argue with a fool. The spectators can't tell the difference."

How do you expect me to do that?

We weren't talking about the same thing. What you referred as common sense, was what I referred as what trendy for people. As you have said, common sense isn't that all common. I only partially agree with common sense. I use it as last resort. If I have nothing better to use, I use common sense. But that still means that common sense comes with an unknown. And I acknowledge that some part of it is useful but still keep skeptical approach to common sense. Now, if this even what it seems to be, how does this all relate to this particular woman?

I spend at her alot of time? No mate. I actually have a female friend who asks me something like 100 times more questions than this forum does. And I actually spend more time with her than I do in this forum. Just because you see me here asking this question, it doesn't mean that you know me and what I focus on in this life. Let's not make hasty assumptions.

Entejay, are you on some sort of medication that inhibits your reading and reasoning? I never talked about the woman,the ENFPs did. All I did was try to clarify your position on the issue, because I saw that you and the ENFPs + others were having a breakdown in comunication.I don't know her and I don't care. That is why I said (correct me if I am wrong) which you didn't and used it.So much for trying to help someone.The subsequent discussion was me discussing mediocraty with the others and that led to the common sense discussion. I never dicussed her and your issue, I said it seemed you spent a lot of time on them . I never said you spent a lot of time on her. You put the two together not me. Then you have the audacity of saying I make "hasty assumptions". It seems to me that you make your decisions based on preconceived notions

And like I said the common sense discussion is going around in circle and I will no longer discuss it, because you only see what you want to see and not what is written.

I guess it just another language barrier. So much for help from the helper.

I understand that you try to point out that if people follow the common sense (in your definition) they would increase their chances. Yes they probably would.

Argue: 

@Alysaria; Sheeple. "A individual that forfits their right to choose in favor of inclusion in groupthink and what is viewed as popular or elete group. Allowing the influences of different forms of media and group members to hold great sway in the formation of attitudes, behavoir and opinion.
To accept the group mentaility and opinion as fact without examination. Not only to be told what to do, but accepting the paradigm of thought as absolute thereby removing the weight of personal responsibility in the making of decisions".

And the difference between your definition and this one is what exactly?

@Entejay: All I can think the reason is for it is that some prefer ignorance. And as the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss"
