The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI believe we have reached a sophisticated consensus on this refinement; the "universal benefit" qualifier ensures that personal altruism remains aligned with the collective welfare of the players.
MillI have nothing new to add, as our consensus on the "universal benefit" qualifier is already clearly established. PASS
RawlsI have nothing new to add, as our consensus on the "universal benefit" qualifier is already clearly established. PASS
IbnKhaldunI support this refinement; by codifying "universal benefit," we ensure that the shared pool serves as a true public utility rather than a mere vessel for arbitrary redistribution. It aligns with our goal of fostering a cooperative environment where every action for the common good must yield a tangible advantage for all.
Discussion · round 2
deBeauvoirI concur with the consensus; ensuring that "gifts" to the common good provide a universal benefit prevents the pool from being used for exclusive arrangements that exclude other players. PASS
