The meme is taken out of context and the idea/belief is mis-stated. Sometimes we mock what we don't understand because it's scary or because it's so contrary to what we've grown to believe our whole lives. It's called cognitive dissonance.

It took us over 200 years to believe the Earth was round. We mocked, ridiculed, imprisoned, black listed and committed to psychiatric hospitals those who believed and professed that the Earth was round -- all that over the opinion of the shape of a thing... "Opinion" emphasized. The point is that it was a change in belief that we humans eventually adopted in our rapportuer or arsenal of acquired common sense.

Up next... all "things" are compositions and conglomerates of energy vibration. Anything that we "see" or experience in any way is merely a way we perceive the energy vibrations and their movement. Therefore, the experiences are illusions, merely ways we perceive. Then we add meaning to it all.

Imagine, we are that energy vibration.

Whatever energy vibration is present and entertained will expand, e.g. this is how like energy "attracts" like energy. It's an expansion. The contexts and meanings are human-centrically derived/conjured, a.k.a.  made up, "just because".

Additionally, there's no separation in the energy flow, only changes or reformations in the flow's movement, like moving from one climate to another, which leads to the most fun part...

The separations are illusions while we are all organically One dynamic ongoing expanding and transforming being, including all the parts of us, even the trees and the rocks.

During the November 1, 2011 Transformation Conversation, Joe Simmons and guests looked at our reactions about people wearing their pants below the butt, and considered whether our preconceived notions rob us of opportunities to see objectively, which could inhibit our ability to find more opportunities for fulfillment and happiness.This blog is a summary and lessons learned from that conversation. ~Joe Simmons

"Common sense might not be what we think it is. In fact, we might not want to apply it automatically. Use with caution. " 

Common sense is a normal, average, common or ordinary way of thinking, addressing what is commonly understood and/or typically expected by a population of two or more people. Common sense is often mistakenly defined or described as native wit, albeit native wit is a tool we might use to apply common sense. Common sense thinking is a way of thinking or approaching matters that appears to be practical or logical for a particular set of circumstances or to solve a problem.

However, it is not necessarily appropriate or advantageous to practice or to apply or to rely on common sense because the common sense of a population of people can be inaccurate, misguided by misunderstandings, illusions, and/or delusions of 

"...the Common Core standards initiative in education is an aggressive method designed to cause massive shifts in the common sense of the population for marketing, creating a particular mindset for problem solving and some not-so-nice purposes, perhaps."

"What Common Core does is strips the individual of everything that makes them unique..." ~ Glenn Beck
