This problem has been nagging me forever. If "objective reality" is simply a consensus between experiencing subjects, then on what grounds can we claim to know or understand anything? How can we be so sure that - for example - our scientific knowledge is accurate? Is it just because there is greater consensus in established academic fields like physics or biology? What about the people our society labels as insane? Is their interpretation of reality wrong simply because there is less consensus about it?
