Where is the common sense?
Leonardo da Vinci tried to locate the part of the body where common sense is (as if everyone has one).
"Common sense is the one that judges the things that other senses provide. Ancient philosophers deduced that man's ability to interpret comes from an organ to which the other five senses refer everything [...]. They say that this common sense is located in the center of the head, between the areas of impression and memory ".
