Last night I watched a TV show about the number 1. It seems common sense to count things, and have numberals that make figuring things out mathematically possible, but originally this was non-sense. The truth can exist without being sensed. The story of math is so exciting as each discovery came slowly. The concept of 0 is particularly awesome, and India has been credited with this discovery.


We may have "knowledge" that prevents us from realizing "truth". Such as knowledge that lead to the common sense of knowing the earth is flat. A belief in truth that caused those with uncommon sense to loose their lives when the church had the power to persecute those who dared to speak a truth that was not in agreement with the church's concept of truth. Common man may trust in common sense, but it is not be trusted.
