This could mean that Agora succeeded in bridging the gaps and helping the delegates to draft clauses based on common ground. [3/X]

The surprising downside is that some delegates started using Agora as a "propaganda tool" to persuade the swing delegates... For example, saying "you see, all others agreed on this idea so you should agree with us too!" [4/X]

maybe it's ok? I'm seeing that kinda comment as a bid for values. They're making a gamble that more people will value "universalism" (maybe a better tactic amongst impressionable students), but they might be wrong. Some will lean away from it. Feels ok for all of this to play out in plain sight :)

But also, I think I'm being devils advocate! It's also concerning, for a lot of big reasons, and something to always watch and draw attention to :) maybe there's an in-situ way to help regular ppl be more aware of such effects in the system in which they participate 🤔
