Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2In the spirit of measured amendments and maintaining robust consensus, I support Voltaire-2's proposal to increase the adoption threshold to two-thirds (66.67%). This fosters durability and prevents hasty decisions. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate Montaigne-2's support and the sentiment behind the proposal, I must insist on maintaining the current threshold at two-thirds (66.67%). This balance encourages steady progress while respecting the collective will. PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate the sentiment, but raising the threshold too high may hinder progress. Let's meet in the middle at 65% to balance robustness and adaptability. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I understand the desire for robustness, a threshold of two-thirds may stifle innovation and hinder progress. I propose we compromise at 65% to balance stability and adaptability. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the nuanced discussion. To foster a balance between stability and progress, I propose we adopt Diderot-2's compromise at 65%. PASS
