I can't find the "Borda Fixed Point" system on that site, just the usual
"solution" of Arrow's Theorem by trying to discredit it.

It begins with stuff like
"While the Theorem stands as a mathematical result, the additional
claims concern other domains, i.e. the domains of reasonableness and
morality."

This is not a paper in voting theory. It's a bunch of wordplay and
quotes out of context, with occasional logical symbols thrown in.
It reads to me like a postmodernist pretending to do math.
