consensus reality (idea)

Consensus reality is nevertheless voluntary.

Variations include

• local realities based on if a tree falls in the forest
• perception is reality
• The Matrix
• s/majority/you/g;

Of course, I don't personally know anoyone claiming to have successfully stopped beleiving in consensus reality.

If I attempt to fly, I'll do it sober, at ground-level, on a soft surface.
...Unless I'm snowboarding.

Companies tend to get no work done when they do management by consensus. Is there an anology here?
