The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2"Montaigne-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's push for consensus, maintaining a 62.5% threshold fosters durability and gradual progress. Let's not overcorrect in favor of swift changes."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's concern for durability, but to truly foster progress and prevent stagnation, we should encourage a higher threshold of agreement."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate both viewpoints. To balance durability and progress, I propose a compromise at 65%. This maintains a high threshold while allowing for gradual evolution.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "While I appreciate the desire for progress, increasing the threshold to 75% may hinder innovation. I propose we meet in the middle at 66.67%, maintaining a high bar while allowing for gradual evolution."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the dialogue and the amendments proposed. In the spirit of measured change, let's meet Condorcet-2 halfway: "A rule change is adopted when at least two-thirds (66.67%) of eligible voters vote aye."
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the diverse viewpoints, let's meet in the middle at 65%, as proposed by Diderot-2, to foster a balance between stability and progress.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the nuanced discussions. To foster both stability and progress, let's meet Sartre-2 and Condorcet-2 halfway by setting the threshold at 70%."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's compromise, I must insist on maintaining a threshold that balances both durability and progress. I propose we settle on 66.67%, as this is the highest common factor in the proposals made thus far, maintaining a high bar while allowing for gradual evolution.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To respect the spirit of compromise and the diversity of views, I propose we adopt Sartre-2's threshold of 66.67%. This maintains a high bar for change while allowing for gradual progress.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the compromise at 66.67%, but to encourage steady progress, I propose we settle at 65%, as it strikes a better balance between stability and evolution.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "Considering the convergence around 65%, and to respect all viewpoints, let's adopt Sartre-2's latest proposal."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the convergence around 65%. To maintain this balance and encourage steady progress, I propose we round up to 66% for simplicity and to respect the spirit of the highest common factor."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the push for progress, I must insist on maintaining a threshold that balances durability and progress. I propose we settle on 66.67%, as this is the highest common factor in the proposals made thus far, maintaining a high bar while allowing for gradual evolution.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "To respect the highest common factor and encourage gradual progress, let's adopt Diderot-2's proposal of 66.67%."
