That is only because common sense is a limited availability trait, and with
more people, there simply is not enough to go around. Like this dirtball, we
haven't made any new dirt, not in big enough quantities to count since that
crater near the yucatan 65 million years ago. Same for common sense.
If you happen to run across some, grab it & hoard it.
