Imo, the ideal goal is not "consensus" so much as functionality: agreeing on enough of the basic rules to live in a country with a working legal system, but pretty much leaving people alone after that.
That's unlikely to work in practice. First, the most predatory members of society reign when the rules are slack to nonexistent. Second, destroying any pretext of social cohesion makes response to the First problem nearly impossible. Third, once things get bad enough, the only way out is the long wait for death ... and that be insufficient as well.
Once again, be careful what you wish for.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
