So, that brings me to my larger question — does mathematical elegance correlate with social change? My mentor thinks it’s unclear (look at Chicago economics, he said).
I, ever the sociologist, offered: “Maybe it’s not a linear relationship then.”
What do you think?

I shared it with a longtime academic mentor, who immediately brought up Arrow’s impossibility theorem and Sen’s liberal paradox. Both show that any voting system trying to balance fairness, consistency, and individual freedom will, eventually, break. Ranked Choice Voting isn’t exempt.
