Democracy got owned by mathematics:

Why would anyone support this shitty system which goes against basic logic and mathematics?
Tradition is a incredibly powerful thing.

It's really only relevant to democratically planned economics. What do you think it means for a presidential election to be pareto optimal?
>Voting systems that use cardinal utility (which conveys more information than rank orders; see the subsection discussing the cardinal utility approach to overcoming the negative conclusion) are not covered by the theorem.
Read Chapter 8 of Plato's The Republic. Democracy is irrational since the Greeks.

Pop philosophers are even worse than pop scientists.

I don't need mathematics to tell me why democracy and its derivatives don't work.
Mathematicians are logically deficient.

In democratic voting systems where people can vote for candidates, cardinal utility which voters express is converted to ordinal utility which expresses their preferences after voting. This is why democracy is fundamentally inefficient, and can't rationally choose candidates.

There's technocracy which is far better than piece of shit democracy.
Thats why elections run on a two party system.

The alternatives are on average worse.

a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

There being a deciding voter is hardly the worst element of democracy.

You're sure it isn't that democracy can't rationally choose candidates because the people making the decision are fundamentally irrational disgusting animals?
