Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education.

Summary

This quote suggests that common sense is not a product of one's education, but rather it exists independent of it. It implies that individuals possess a certain practical understanding and wisdom that is not necessarily obtained through formal education, but rather developed through experiences, intuition, and innate intelligence. In other words, common sense is innate and can often prevail even in the absence of formal education.

But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create one world. Instead of one world, we have star wars, and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet's dead.
