Common sense is critical in allowing us to live our daily lives unfettered. Common sense doesn't really have a place in discerning the truth though. Anyone who has studied physics knows reality often turns out much stranger than "common sense" would have you believe. Which is why you should listen to conspiracy theorists and take them seriously. Until you can refute them, like the easily disproven statements by flat earthers, with data that isn't itself suspect to the conspiracy, you should never just reject something out of hand because it isn't a mainstream opinion. For example, many still reject that the USA is in a period of interregnum under military power. They think Trump represents a civilian government. This is "common sense". But there is no genuine data to back it up (just beliefs), and in fact General Walker told you on Good Morning America on Jan 18, 2021 what was happening. Common sense just led everyone to discard and reinterpret his statement. Common sense has allowed everyone to continue living their lives for the past 6 years. It has said absolutely nothing about what is real when you dig into the fine print.
