No, everyone can have their own opinion and thoughts about everything. I think that it is worth having an intellectual factual discussion. But most people can not even think "a meter" (hope this is the right formulation in english). Also many people will not leave your opinion because "they are right" always. Then it makes no sense to discuss or even talk to them.
If I discuss with someone, I always try to be as open as possible and try not to get emotional.
Also this is just an example, I think people are stupid for way more reasons.

Being emotional has some weight in making decisions.
Where I live, for example, when you are at a certain level of income, it makes no financial sense to buy a house.
I did all the calculations, and there's no doubt that they are correct.
Then, my wife comes and say 'I want us to buy a house'. I took the opportunity to show her how brilliant I am for figuring out a way for us to retire 10 years earlier. I was about to wrap everything up with a powerful conclusive sentence before she suddenly stopped me and said:
"That's nice, but I want to buy a house to raise our kids. I want them to have a memory of having a house they call home. When the day comes, I want our grandchildren to visit and call this house 'our grandparents' house'. I want to know that even if everything we build falls apart, we'll have our 4 walls to go back to."
We're buying a house, even though it makes no 'rational' sense because it makes sense in another way.

That's a cool story, thanks for sharing. I guess your wife was right here
You are right, emotions have some weight in making decisions. But I still think if you discuss something they can lead you into making false statements or stubbornness.

It depends on where you look at it from. If she and I wouldn't have agreed, the story would've been told very differently.That's a cool story, thanks for sharing. I guess your wife was right here

I can easily explain why buying a house is the wrong move, and she can explain it the other way around. There is no right and wrong, just different perspectives.

it was always like that, its just that you are now exposed to billions of people online, and our brains arent really developed to make that much connections and hear that many people talk and give opinions
limit exposure to internet commentary bullshit and live a happy life instead

It is a fact that not everyone is the same physically. For example, can all of us lift 537 kgs like Oleksii Novikov ?
Wait ... No matter how much and how many years we train and practice, EVEN AFTER THAT, can all of us lift 537 kgs like Oleksii Novikov ? No.
In the same way, not everyone is the same mentally AND NO MATTER how much everyone tries to mentally train and mentally practice, etc, there is no way that everyone can achieve the same results.
But why ? Aspects or factors related to BOTH physical AND mental abilities are in one's DNA (in born) and this in-born / DNA driven aspects or factors also have their impact on what further one can achieve physically AND mentally INSPITE of ALL POSSIBLE training & practice.
This is why in reality when it comes to aspects such as common sense, everyone is NOT the same.
We are unfortunately living in the age and times where wokeism is embraced and in my opnion this wokeism gives justification to showflakes to be happy remaining as snowflakes. And, hence, this makes people with no or less common sense, to remain happy with their no or less common sense.
Anyways, another reality is that common sense cannot be acquired. Knowledge can be acquired. But, to utilize any knowledge in an effective way, especially nowadays, common sense is required. And, common sense is a DNA / in-born related factor with not much one can do as far as "developing" it further is concerned.
