I don't think authority is the problem, what bothers me more, is how passive consensus somehow reinforces some ideas more than others, and that can make them difficult to challenge them. So in a sense, I think that there is a transparent "consented" authority, which is harder to challenge. Of course most people are happier in such a society. That's true, you can't really tell if the person is insane or just having an opinion about something.
