The common sense hypothesis had its advocates in classical India. The claim that all there is, is what is perceived by the senses. The cult had almost gone into textual obscurity apart from fragments. The dominant forms of patron client relations from agrarian cultures of the period claimed authority to a unique form of patronage or matriarch power which were invested in gods and goddess who only the elite caste could communicate to for continuation of cropping cycles. Common sense is in this sense a political revolution for the common folk for it hinges on non hereditary meritocracy in the form of curiosity that can be documented and minted into data power which goes against authoritarian forms of governance that consolidate power through forms of non sense.
