Assuming we are all spawned in our own reality, schizophrenia wouldn't be a problem at all assuming there was no observation made of us by a consensus majority.

As it is the CAP theorem (under the constraint of the fixed speed of light) mandates that there will never be a single truth, and all we can hope for is eventual consistency.
