It prevents a universal consensus, but that's not exactly a possibility. There's too much information, undereducation, multiracial and ethnic cultures and backgrounds to operationalize things into policy that satisfies both empirical goals and political feasibility... That's why a federalized system of local governments is a wonderful thing. Texas may think Jesus partied with Raptors and cave men, but you're very easily able to relocate to New York State or Vermont or whatever to have a rational scientific education...

Individuals are irrelevant.
There has never been a weapon humans have invented that they never used on themselves.

If your'e at all familiar with the Fermi Paradox, it's almost mathematical proof (more so than any religion, anyhow) that interstellar travel is impossible.
And if it's only my opinion that says so, that impossibility is largely due to biological constructs being utter failures at rationality.
Self-interest, family interest, collective efficacy among peer groups, and countrymen/culture fellowship comes before any species-wise mutually beneficial considerations. It's delusional to expect someone to put the aggregate billions of humans on Earth before their own self, their families, or even their countries.
You're living in the wrong civilization if you think the individual is irrelevant... Individualism is one of the few good things about western civ.
