It only matters to the empire builders and scale bots. They are the ones who are desperate for common reality to simplify their mindless goals usually planted in their head by some other dumbass.

End of the day everyone has a 3 inch chimp brain. Its not designed for common reality.

2 brains growing in same environments, exposed to the same things through their live can turn out to have totally different beliefs. And thats just looking at my own family members.

Its like planting 2 seeds in the same soil, giving them the same sun and water dont produce the same exact number of leaves, flowers or fruits.

Humans are inherently social creatures. That is why solitary confinement is a particularly cruel and dreaded punishment. In order to have social order there needs to be some semblance of a shared reality.
