Got a line for Marie. For Marie. Uh, KV0MAI. George, tell me about common sense. What does it mean? And do you have any examples? This is KC2PKG. KV0MAI. Common sense, huh? So... In the beginning of the caveman days, they discovered fire. And they learned from the fire that if you put stuff on the fire, it's gonna burn. And the thing is, they learned how to, uh, you know, knead and stuff like that. Or sharpen jewels. Well, hard with steel. Maybe make a tool sharpen jewels and knead and stuff like that. But anyways, that caveman, all of them are on this fire, and they're just learning about this fire. And one man reaches into the fire. Burns are here. Hey, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. Another one looks at him. Says, ah, you're what that's all about. Stick the man in the fire. Hey, I'll get you. That person does it. In the fire. Person had to. Burns is depressed. More point acetates. Doesn't do it. Just point acetates. Doesn't do it. It's a progression. But you might have 20 of them that have done you a witness to this act, saw what happens, decided through common sense that I shouldn't do that, and that 20 of cavemen will still stick your man in the fire. No, it hurts. I'll do it again. It'll be different. Oh, it hurts. I'll try it again. Oh, it hurts. So we have this progression of common sense go on for 250,000 years or so, and the people are doing the same thing today as what happened with the cavemen in the fire. Some learned from it because they observed other people getting hurt, but others kept expecting if they did the same thing again and again and again that they would get different results. They never got that common sense gene. Doctor, that control. JB0MAI. JB0MAI. Good story and good point. Experiential, but sometimes you don't learn from experience. That's a very, very, uh, 50 statement there. All right. BE3FBX. Are you expecting to answer questions on common sense? I don't know. But tell us what you think it is, and, uh, take an example if you have one. This is KC2PKG. This is BE3FBX. I think common sense is the application of intelligence and wisdom gained, and I think this is why the younger generation doesn't seem to have it. We've failed to pass it on. Can't really think of an example, but it's just a feeling.
