Consensus vs. consensual reality
Consensus reality is related to, but distinct from, consensual reality. The difference between these terms is that whereas consensus reality describes a state of mutual agreement about what is true (consensus is a noun), consensual reality describes a type of agreement about what is true (consensual is an adjective). In other words, reality may also be non-consensual, as when one person's preferred version of reality conflicts with another person's preferred version of reality. Consensual reality is relevant to understanding a variety of social phenomena, such as deception. [11]
Social aspects
Artists, writers, and theorists have attempted to oppose or undermine consensus reality while others have declared that they are "ignoring" it.[12] For example, Salvador Dalí intended by his paranoiac-critical method[13] to "systematize confusion thanks to a paranoia and active process of thought and so assist in discrediting completely the world of reality".[14]

In summary, Putnam has shown that existing formal versions of objectivist epistemology are inconsistent; there can be no objectively correct description of reality from a God's eye point of view. This does not, of course, mean that there is no objective reality—only that we have no privileged access to it from an external viewpoint.
