I feel like we can easily point out times and things where every person on the planet generally agreed to something that was very wrong - in point of fact or in point of moral import - assuming there's a difference. The issue of subhumans jumps to the front of mind.
An objective concept isn't properly formed by consensus building at all, though I think a person would be surprised at how much global consensus there is about minimal objectivist propositions. That would be a relative concept. Things we believe, not because they're true, maybe not even because they are personally satisfying, but because many people in our societies believe them.
I get your point. At the same time no personal existent truly has direct access to objective reality because that knowlege is always mediated by his or her subjective experience. Generally, knowlege people consider objective is considered so by imagining a third-person God's eye view.
