Sensory deprivation

Sensory deprivation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in psychological experiments (e.g., see Isolation tank), and for torture or punishment.

Though short periods of sensory deprivation can be relaxing, extended deprivation can result in extreme anxiety, hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, depression, and antisocial behavior.

common sense

1) Putting the pieces together using the knowledge that one already has. Usually obtained by having actual life experiences, as opposed to sitting at a desk of in front of a textbook all day.

The only type of knowledge in life that is truly useful over 99% of the time.
1) Jimmy spent eight years at his desk getting his advanced degree in mechanical engineering. He was hired happily straight out of college making $105,000 a year, but ultimately failed at even the simplest of automotive tasks, since he lacks the common sense to so much as change his oil.

It also took him 45 minutes to find the entrance on the hooker he hired on a lonely Friday night.

The condition in which a person is afflicted by an inability to be amused by certain cognitive experiences. Somebody who does not find jokes or situations that tend to make others smile or break into laughter is considered to have an undescended sense of humor.An inability to perceive what is comical. Magic mushrooms or marijuana are widely considered to be treatments for this condition.
Rodney is such a tool. He didn't even break into a chuckle when we saw that comedian with all the big dick jokes. Why we hang out with somebody who has an undescended sense of humor is beside me.
