In my own experience, I did not gain "Common sense" until I did what you did - move to the middle of nowhere and gain direct experience. Until then, my understanding was gained through media.

Make no mistake - I'm in assloads of pain with every keystroke but I will rip you a new one on this matter.

- lutusp 12y ago>> psychotic > Choose - mental illness is either real or it isn't. Calling someone psychotic doesn't grant the reality either of the term's generally accepted meaning or mental illness as a category. Any more than the common use of the term "genius" is reducible to scientific consensus on the meaning of that term.
