More From Nathaniel Hawthorne

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Stephen miller did one thing: he simply recited common sense. this is a common sense immigration bill. if there was ever a piece of common sense legislation, this is it. in this case, what stephen miller did was nothing more than common sense, and yet it was interpreted - it went right over their heads, the white house press corps, not just jim acosta and glenn thrush. it went over all of their heads because they didn't understand what he was talking about, either because of the fog of hatred they have for donald trump and his administration, or they are just ignorant.
Common Sense House Hatred
If you find yourself loving any pleasure more than your prayers, any book better than the bible, any house better than the house of the lord, any table better than the lord's table, any persons better than christ, or any indulgence better than the hope of heaven – be alarmed.

Common sense is not something rigid and stationary, but is in continuous transformation, becoming enriched with scientific notions and philosophical opinions that have entered into common circulation. 'common sense' is the folklore of philosophy and always stands midway between folklore proper (folklore as it is normally understood) and the philosophy, science, and economics of the scientists. common sense creates the folklore of the future, a relatively rigidified phase of popular knowledge in a given time and place.
Philosophy Philosophical Common Sense
We humans have had from time unknown the compulsion to name things and thus to be able to deal with them. the name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it. and in ancient thought the name itself has power, so that to know someone's name is to have a certain power over him. and in some societies, as you know, there was a public name and a real or secret name, which would not be revealed to others.
Attitude Real Names
We want to achieve a new and better order of society: in this new and better society there must be neither rich nor poor; all will have to work. not a handful of rich people, but all the working people must enjoy the fruits of their common labour. machines and other improvements must serve to ease the work of all and not to enable a few to grow rich at the expense of millions and tens of millions of people. this new and better society is called socialist society.

Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct; it acknowledges no limits to its projects. reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.

Humans find meaningfulness where none exists because we want to create a sense of order in this chaotic universe. it's called apophenia. (and it's also the reason people believe in god.)
