	Open Mind
		The Open Mind Initiative is a novel world-wide collaborative effort to develop 'intelligent' software.
		Open Mind collects information from people like you -- non-expert 'netizens' -- in order to teach computers the myriad things which we all know and which underlie our general intelligence but which we usually take for granted.
		In this way, you and millions of others help us create 'intelligent' software, made available to all.

	Common sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term common sense (or as an adjective, commonsense) describes beliefs or propositions that seem, to most people, to be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge.
		Two philosophers are most famous for advocating the other meaning of "common sense", the view (to state it imprecisely) that common sense beliefs are true and form a foundation for philosophical inquiry: Thomas Reid, G.
		Appeal to common sense is characteristic of a general epistemological orientation called epistemological particularism (The appellation comes from Roderick Chisholm.), which orientation is contrasted with epistemological methodism.

	Common sense
		Among philosophers, the issue of what common sense is is vexing; this leads many of them to shun the word altogether.

	Open Mind Common Sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open Mind Common Sense is an artificial intelligence project based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose goal is to build a large common sense knowledge base from the contributions of many thousands of people across the Web.
		The knowledge collected by Open Mind Common Sense has enabled dozens of research projects [1] at MIT and elsewhere.
		Other similar projects include Mindpixel and Open Mind 1001 Questions, which have explored alternative approaches to collecting knowledge and providing incentive for participation.

	Abraham Lincoln's Philosophy of Common Sense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The relative estimations of the depth of formative impressions of his conditioning experiences on the development of his mind and personality are based on my experiences as a physician, specialized for fifty years in the allied disciplines of psychiatry, psychobiology, psychopathology and psychoanalysis.
		Common sense is cultivated primarily by thinking consistently, analytically, and logically, to reduce pain and frustration and secondarily to increase success and pleasure in work to live.
		Informed common sense is the means of evolution of higher levels of intelligence, civilization, and social organization, from primitive self-authorized "gangster" systems of government and tyrannical subjugation and exploitation of defenseless, unorganized people, toward more sympathetic cooperative culture of equality of legal rights and privileges of self-determination.

	Storm surge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Storm surges are particularly damaging when they occur at the time of a high tide, combining the effects of the surge and the tide.
		Wind stresses cause a phenomenon referred to as "wind set-up", which is the tendency for water levels to increase at the downwind shore, and to decrease at the upwind shore.
		It is important to keep in mind that most people expect that the government is taking care of what needs to be done, in terms of growth planning and hurricane evacuation procedures.

	The Open Mind Common Sense Project
		Giving computers common sense is not about figuring how to make some particular method of reasoning work over a particular type of knowledge, it is about how to make systems that are abundant with many types of knowledge and many ways of thinking about different things.
		Common sense is really the all those things that lets a person think like a person, which people are able to do because our brains are vast libraries of commonsense knowledge and methods for organizing, acquiring, and using such knowledge.
		Although common sense may sometimes be represented by natural language expressions or by predicate calculus, it is essential to distinguish between public representations and the internal semantics of an intelligent agent.

	Eliminative Materialism
		Because eliminative materialism is grounded in the claim that common sense psychology is radically false, arguments for eliminativism are generally arguments against the tenability of folk psychology.
		A common way this charge is made is to insist that a capacity or activity that is somehow invoked by the eliminativist is itself something that requires the existence of beliefs.
		A common eliminativist response to this argument is to re-emphasize a lesson from the philosophy of science; namely, that any theory -- especially one that is as near and dear to us as folk psychology -- can often appear successful even when it completely misrepresents reality.

		We may have become too used to putting common sense in that category of "impossible" problems and overlooked opportunities to actually put this kind of knowledge to work.
		In short, the use of common sense in interface agents can be made "fail-soft." Interface agents are often proactive, "pushing" information rather than "pulling" it as query-response systems do, and it is easier to make the former kind of agents fail-soft.
		From the Open Mind Common Sense knowledge base, a small society of linguistic models of affect was mined out, using a set of mood keywords as a starting point.

	Scottish Philosophy in the 19th Century
		And if common sense, or the principles of education, happen not to be stubborn, it is odds but we end in absolute skepticism.
		The antidote to such skepticism is common sense, but not of the robust sort displayed by Dr. Johnson when he purported to refute Berkeley by kicking a stone.
		Moreover, it throws the whole subject of mind and consciousness back into the realms of metaphysical philosophy and hence seems to abandon the shared methodological assumption that, to quote Reid again, “there is but one way to the knowledge of nature's works; the way of observation and experiment” a supposition he wholeheartedly shared with Hume.

		The Open Mind project is one of a number of related projects whose aim is to collect people's everyday knowledge and put it all into a big database, in the hope that it may be used to construct more user friendly software systems.
		The large size of the Open Mind database is able to push the system beyond the phase transition point into a state where it becomes possible to associate any node with any other node pretty easily.
		With the Open Mind data in its current form it is easy for the system to become confused when one word or object may have more than one meaning.

		The most common practices are listed below — yet with any method of divination, it seems best to approach it with an open mind, but also with common sense.

		The I Ching affirms that by revealing to the conscious mind what is concealed in the subconscious mind, it is possible to predict the probable future and to choose a direction accordingly, therefore we can become the masters of our own destiny and not its slaves.

	Illusive Mind: Common Sense?
		I think that it is probably right in one sense that the counter-intuitive nature of a theory counts against a thoery but that this is outweighed by explanatory power.
		It makes sense that we are engaged in a massive self-deception because these intuitions are based upon the interface between an evolving primate and the world.
		I also think that it if it is accurate that common sense is in of itself worthless, then so is a system of ethics that takes as its foundation our intuitions.

	The Open Mind Common Sense Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Could the problem of giving computers common sense be cast in the same way, where thousands of people with no special training in computer science or artificial intelligence could participate in building the bulk of the database?
		With this goal in mind, we built a web site called Open Mind Common Sense, which is located at www.openmind.org/commonsense.
		Still others have argued that much of common sense is less about “thinking” than it is simply routine behaviors that operate using less explicit types of knowledge, for example the kind of knowledge we use to walk around.
