Without absolutes, then everything is relative. Without truth, all is false. A world of relativism and consensus is nothing more than an illusion, or a delusion, that merely serves to satiate a man's ego. When two ideologies, or world views, collide, one dominates over the other. Some ideologies are mutually exclusive and cannot be reconciled. The modern liberal nonsense of moral relativism produces nothing but mongrel idiocy that serves no purpose.

Any reference that can be changed at a whim of a "consensus" is no reference at all. The OP complains about his desire to be left-alone, but does not hesitate to impose his "values" upon 6 billion souls on this planet. Quite similar to the value of the antifa mongrels that tolerate all ideas, except those that contradict theirs. Furthermore, the opinion of the 80% of any given population is worth less than useless. Men do not seek diagnosis and treatment of illness from a "consensus" of janitors, plumbers, and store clerks. Men do not hire a committee of bartenders, valets, and bloggers to operate a company. Thus, regarding moral principles and public policy, which are far more important, why would any sane man seek "consensus" of fools?
