   What does “I thought it would be obvious” mean?

   • “I thought it would be obvious.”) The obvious is a common tool in political arguments; there is something about calling on voters’ “common sense” that makes the opposition look like sophists and weasels, waffling and equivocating. The obvious cuts through nonsense.

   What does it mean to call something “obvious” or “common sense”?

   • To call something “obvious” or “common sense” is to call it settled and refuse to relitigate it or revisit all the work that went into determining it was so inarguable in the first place. In a recent book, “At War With the Obvious,” the psychoanalyst Donald Moss writes that “the obvious is adaptive. It mutates under pressure, like cells.”

   How do you describe an idea as obvious?

   • Don't call an idea obvious as though obviousness were an inherent property of the idea. Framing it as a personally obvious thing can be a more accurate way of saying what you're trying to say, but it's hard to do this without looking arrogant. (I suspect this is actually one of the reasons we implicitly treat obviousness as impersonal.)

   Should you be afraid of saying something 'obvious'?

   • Don't be afraid of saying something because it's "obvious". It's like how your teachers always said there are no stupid questions. Don't burden your awesome ideas with "obvious but it needs to be said". Don't vote down a comment because it says something "obvious" unless you've thought about it for a while. Also, don't shun "obvious" ideas.

   Why do people see other people as intimidating?
