What do we talk about when we talk about common sense? David Straker, the author of the book "Changing minds" gives a great definition of what common sense truly means. He points out at the traps of our System 1 thinking when it comes to considering something to be common sense. Then we chat about the role of empathy in influencing people, what trust means in the interpersonal relationships and how crucial it is to be able to change our own minds before we attempt to change the minds of others.
