Common sense would dictate such knowledge

A more intelligent way of saying duh

Person 1: Spinning makes me dizzy.

Dutch common sense

Thinking you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

"Jan, don't worry, just use your Dutch common sense instead of a face-mask."

Use common sense

A way more polite way to say: "hey dumbass, read the fuck up." but of course those be some no-no words. So the former, more professional way is used.

Pete kindly, as much as possible, told Joel to use common sense, instead of unkindly saying: "holy fucking christ, read a book, you moron."

Dutch common sense

A misplaced arrogance that you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

"Good thing we Dutch have the Dutch common sense, or else we'd have to learn from other countries' experiences!"

Common sense

Equivalent to the bodies autonomic system, controlling multiple human instincts that are essential to survival such as empathy, communication skills, manners, respect, feelings vs opinions distinction, the pick your battles instinct, and a common desire to support friends and family unconditionally.

1)When one lacks common sense one becomes driven by self serving interests rather then worry about others resulting in a lack of human connection and in time, humanity itself.
