scale/scales of conversation(s)?

Re: the objectivity/subjectivity spectrum, is it possible that having a conversation with the widest possible number of people isn't always a primary standard?  Is it equally possible that people could develop an ability to speak in chords, if you will, that combine subjective sources with more transpersonal linkages of ideas?  To me, this circles back to the question of specificity/uniqueness in interpersonal reciprocity.  I guess I'm just wondering if, as bodies in the body of the world, it makes more sense for us to double our voices towards both the particular and the general.  Could this be more inclusive?  More fostering of trust and common ground in which to be joyfully different?
