Obviously there are many different ways to look at it from a more technical to a more social perspective.

In my opinion consensus means that we both can rely upon assumptions we held in the past will still highly held up (honoured) in the future so we all can make economically relevant decisions which will impact our personal life, community life and society at large.

Bitcoin is the only network currently that favoured immutability (and ossification, which has a price) over anything else. If it weren't for Bitcoin to hold up this torch someone would need to invent a new network that takes care of it. Bitcoin has the highest value in crypto because it is equal to the US constitution. Every other country on this planet relates to it in one form or another.

The constitution is clear in what it protects and stands for itself. Changing it more often than not means that someone tries to undermined it. And in that case hard forks and soft forks are just different attitudes to change what shouldn't be

changed at all.

So Bitcoin consensus for me is to agree on something so valuable that we won't change it at all no matter the consequences. It's a representation of our (mental) power. It's also an appreciation of life and that everything that is claimed to

be changed for the better also carries an equaly sized bag of unintended consequences that will amass over time and eventually cause its own downfall.
