Consensus. It seems to have a magic of its own, but even if we don't discuss that right now, the minimum that humanity needs today, especially in today's divided world for its survival, is that everyone should be willing to modify their views in order to accomodate others'.
We might be amazed to see that none of the so-called progressive ideologies and so-called perfect democracies have this on their agenda. They have created myths of "commitment", "conviction", etc, all nice words to hide the fact that no political party, ideology or "ism" today is willing to say, "I may be wrong as well, and I will know this from your response."
This is what we need to change. What do u think?

I was referring with respect to "collective" identities - like States, Nations, Political-Parties, Religious-groups, Scientific-societies, etc.
These identities often play the game of 'passing the buck' - i.e., blame others to cover one's (collective) mistakes.
.. and as you hinted it goes also well on the 'individual' scale too :)
