It’s great to be the first to do something. But poking an unfamiliar spider, in my opinion, is not a great exercise in common sense. To be the first one to say they survived a bite from arachnid-deathicus-almost-certaincus might be an accomplishment for some. For me? I’ll read about it in the paper later.

The low grade common sense is an awareness and random application – don’t touch the stove, it’s hot.
The high grade common sense is a constant start of awareness that every action has a daily predictable response – spend more than you earn = debt.
