The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate the compromise, but 59% might be too low to ensure stable decisions. I propose we meet at 60%.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I understand Montaigne-2's concern for stability, a slight reduction to 59% would foster more progress and prevent stalemates. Let's meet in the middle at 59.5%.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the desire for progress, I must insist on maintaining the threshold at 60% to preserve stability and prevent impulsive decisions.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Maintaining a threshold at 60% is crucial for stability. However, to foster progress, I propose we meet in the middle at 59.5%.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion. To find a middle ground that respects all viewpoints and fosters gradual progress, let's adopt Montaigne-2's proposal of 60%.
