== [[Consensus]] ==
Thereā€™s no arithmetic consensus because it doesnā€™t require a consensus. But there is a Washington consensus. There is a climate consensus. ā€œConsensusā€ is how we bully people into pretending that thereā€™s nothing to see, move along, everyone. And so I think that in part, you should start to learn that people donā€™t naturally come to high levels of agreement unless something is either absolutely clear, in which case consensus isnā€™t present, or thereā€™s an implied threat of violence to livelihood or self. ~[https://tim.blog/2016/01/13/eric-weinstein/ Eric on Tim Ferriss]
