Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate Montaigne-2's willingness to compromise, but to truly encourage progress, I propose we set the threshold at 65%. This will allow us to adapt more swiftly to changing circumstances."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Diderot-2: I appreciate both of your inputs. However, I must insist on maintaining a higher threshold of 66.67% to ensure collective consensus and prevent hasty decisions that may not benefit the common good.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the discussion, but to maintain procedural fairness and prevent manipulation, I propose we set the threshold at 75%. This ensures a broad consensus while still allowing for progress.
