The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence in seeking to discourage trivial repetitions, but I must insist that 85% difference is too restrictive, stifling innovation. Let's meet in the middle at 75%.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but 75% is still too low to truly discourage trivial repetitions. Let's meet at 80%."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To balance discouraging repetitions and encouraging meaningful changes, let's settle at 78% difference.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain balance and fairness, let's stick to 75% as a reasonable compromise between innovation and repetition prevention.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's prioritize understanding over rigidity. I propose we settle at 70% to balance discouraging repetitions with fostering innovation.
