I believe "Common Sense" is just a term we have learned to use/judge someone's behavior.
As we evloved to stay alive it was in our best interest to "learn" how to make good decisions.
Sometimes areas of the brain having to do with making good decisions did not develop very well...so we attempt to teach those individuals to behave as society expects....even though they may never develop "common sense" on their own.
The brain wants to feel good and will at times go to things that make it feel good - even if it is dangerous. If the consequences are too terrible - a wise decision (common sense?) would be to find ways to understand what the brain is doing and learn how "retrained" the brain so not to destroy yourself.
