Individuals have the best information on what they have encountered, and to be more mindful of what is happening outside their life's bubble, they need to associate with individuals who are different from them and actively seek that information. Otherwise, they may become oblivious and withdraw from the real world, making them appear foolish to others.
Obliviousness isn't inherently bad, as it is impossible to know everything, but sometimes it is hard to accept how certain knowledge has eluded an individual. Not understanding that there are people who can't afford the cost of a house or who have to take out student loans to finish their education are a few things Redditors view as common sense that doesn't belong to a single societal group.
