If you completely discard the concept of "truth" and replace it

I think it might. For example, suppose we all share the same
consciousness. It is evolutionary useful to maintain the illusion
that this is not the case (thus my previous rant).
If you "start with consciousness" then it is fundamental that
consciousness if not shared - otherwise I'd be conscious of it.
I guess you mean "is not shared".
But are you not conscious right now, we do share the experience of
being conscious, even if we don't share the exact same relative
contents.
