A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually.

Snail Crossing.... (Part Seven)
ignorance demands,
that the person you meet...
looks like you,
smells like you,
talks like you,
agrees with you...
believes in your god,
believes in your political line,
wants what you want,
and admires you...

Everything, everything in war is barbaric... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being.
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.

Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.

To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.

To any intelligent being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individually or collectively, we must hope that the future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and theirs after them, will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whatever our perception of that might be... It is at those times when we feel we are contributing to that ultimate end... we feel true elation.

She Believes In Me
i'm tossing and turning and i can't get to sleep
got something on my mind - i just can't release
then she whispers so softly - that she believes in me
if i let her down - and tried to disguise it
she always see through it always replies that
no matter what i do - she believes in me
all the times i failed - gone slighty off the rails
she's there to remind me - she believes in me
when it all goes wrong and i feel i'm own
she's there to remind me - she believes in me
don't get me wrong - i not some kind of fool
i give her my world if she asked me to
cuz here's no denying - she believes in me
but i'm only human - i'm just a guy
that sometimes makes mistakes and i can't explain why
some say crazy - but she believes in me

What Do You Value?
questions of interest
but not importance?
“What was the name
of the river (place)
you were baptized in,
where exactly
were you baptized,
not awfully important? ”
each spot on earth
is a good spot
an important spot,
if a clean spot
we give individually
the importance
to different places,
we agree collectively
on meanings definitions
or not where is truth?
What is baptism?
What is eternal life?
What do you value?

Over-Critical
Collectively...
They believe themselves immuned,
From any sign of of expressing accountability.
Although they can be,
Humanitarians easily.
Individually...
They are prone to be lazy and self centered.
And yet,
First to show empathy, a good nature.
Plus extremely giving.
Mentally...
We all carry the same trait.
Personalities that confuse one another.
With an ability to be over-critical of ourselves.
But hate to receive it from anyone else.
Together...
We stand to defend our way of life,
With beliefs...
Others are envious of our hypocritical ways,
We can not seem to self examine to correct.
And We are the THEY...
We often find time to critique.
But somehow can not see ourselves,
Reflected in the doing of it!

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus which is the business of politics. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
