Yes, you need common sense, and it helps to have traveled and experienced different cultures and meet different people...and talked to them as individuals...and discerned whats hapenning there and HERE and everywhere.
It takes honesty, and the truths will not stoke a persons pride, or nationalism. You have to understand human nature, and how the rich or powerful will do anything to gain more power and wealth, including killing their own. You have to know that they lie and steal and kill for their greed sake. You have to be beyond racism and nationalism and pride to find out 'whats really happening'..... as thats one of the places I go to help see fulfilled prophecy, via different real journalists and authors and via honest comments.
It takes maturity, basic knowledge, not just the Holy Spirit. The Lord gives His people wisdom, but most Christians are taught sickening political/nationalism which makes them prone to support war (and even torture) more than their fellow citizens etc.
How sad, but such is the sick state of religion and politics.
Yet with honesty, people can discern fake news and propaganda from whats really happening.

The Lord is the GREAT SCIENTIST as He created SCIENCE and ALL LAWS and ALL MATTER and of course ALL LIFE. God is the Great Architect, Designer and Mathematician. Evolutioon is not mathematical and says there is no DESIGN but that all things came about by sheer LUCK.
