As adults in a supposedly civilised society, there are things taken for granted that people should do or know. Like if you have been in a job for 12 months...you should know what you are doing enough so that you don't need to ask someone a stupid question every 2 minutes.

This raises the question however...is this thing called 'common sense' really all that common? Is it only a small percentage of us that know what we are doing and what is expected of us? Is the global IQ really sub 40??

No and yes. Coco the talking Gorilla has our collective IQ's beat by 50 pts. Her IQ is a whopping 90!

My generation is worse. Yours cleaned up somewhat after high school and college, ours shows no promise of this.

just cause it's common sense doesn't mean it's good sense

It's the internet, everyone's stupidity makes true idiots like me seem a lot more knowledgable.

Common sense hs no place in the contemporary workplace Seldom. That`s why the company CEO, who never staples a sheet of paper by himself, has a chrome plated, designer model, multi function stapler while the guy who spends his day stapling files has the .99$ cheapo breaks after 10 uses stapler.

You dig?

Common sense is as rare and as much a misnomer as Microsoft Works.

After 4 years of technical support, I have really begin to develop a refined sense of just how truly pathetic and stupid we, as a collective species, are. I've laughed, I've cried, I've screamed, I've hung up on customers, I've changed their passwords to god awful words, I've even subscribed the truly evil ones to the worst spam sites I could find that subscribed them instantly to 312 mailing lists.

And in all that time, if there's one thing I've learned about the human race and our ultimate destiny, it is this ladies and gentlemen:

We're ****ed.

312 mailing lists? That's ****ing hilarious! BTW you should read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, you'd probably like it.
