In the future there may be consensus but it won't be on truth.
I was talking with someone recently about how even the idea of seeking truth is dying out. You hear people say things like "you can't think that" or "is that how you want to see the world". Their goal is not to orient towards TRUTH but to orient themselves towards what is expected or convenient.
These people don't even see that they have lost something. Do see it as a compromise or see why they should think differently.
There is no value placed on thoughts objectively reflecting reality only on if those thoughts will smooth over the turbulence in their lives. The greatest value becomes social conformity.
