Interaction with other-selves requires tailoring our responses towards their distortions if we are to be of service in an effective manner. For example you can't jump straight in regarding certain esoteric concepts to a religiously inclined individual who is curious, however one must take care in using analogs or metaphorical examples using their own terminology, gently 'easing' them in to your pov. If you jump in straight 'being your true self' as you are suggesting, they run for the hills. In that case they're worse off. In other words, whilst veiled there's necessarily a more conducive way of conveying ones ideas whilst still being true and authentic to the Self.
You do not need to state your desires out loud for the world to see and hear for it to be given validity, for that is generated within. It is not a 'rejection of authority' to acknowledge that certain thoughts are better worked with individually.
You're talking about reaching a consensus; how about accepting each individual has a differing viewpoint? How about accepting the consensus that no consensus can be reached?
