Dr Thomas Cowan, Richard Sacks, Lost Arts Radio: “Modern education seems designed to eradicate that quality of awareness known as common sense, that was once actually common, at least in myths and legends of the old days. It seems the farther we go in today’s educational system, the more foreign the idea of common sense becomes. This is especially evident in those among us known as scientists and doctors. Was common sense ever common? Running into a highly educated person today that obviously still has common sense makes the legends more believable. To me it is exciting and encouraging to meet such a person.
