A tough idea. It’s like, just because you have consensus, doesn’t make something true. And just because something is true, doesn’t mean you will have consensus.
So many examples of this in society throughout history. And the difficulty with certain ‘truths’ that are subject to perspective. Begging the question ‘what is actually true?’
In my opinion it’s about the BASE LAYER. Reality is the base layer. What is true on that ‘base layer’ can be tested and proven. Then you have to work delicately out from there as it gets murkier into the realm of human/individual perspective. Ethics/morality come into play too. Begging the question too as to ‘what is ethics/morality ‘.
Very complex. Compelling and rich.
