Should I be excited about this show because the main character is a mathematical genius or upset since they say things like "math nerds are probably the most dangerous people on the planet right now" and "what if the DNA of the universe was primes?"

Professor @IsmarVolic argues that the engine of our democracy is "rusty, sputtering, and no longer able to take us where we want to go," calling for ending gerrymandering and implementing ranked choice voting. Read more: wbur.org/cognoscenti/2024/11…
