The Wholly One

When the number one is conventionally chosen to represent the totality of something or a group of things, from which equal parts or subgroups, often known as fractions, result.

Like the holy one who receives special treatment even in nonreligious quarters, the wholly one is widely favored than other whole numbers (in spite of having multiple factors) even in nonmathematical circles.

Hacking Heaven

When the laity would donate cash; cryptocurrencies and NFTs; prized items like gold, diamond, coins, stamps, and paintings; and properties, so that the clergy could intercede for them before God to have their sins and those of their loved ones forgiven—generous or ostentatious donations on a regular basis would only set in motion a bountiful reward on high, be it material or/and spiritual blessings.

To upgrade the status of deceased family members from hell to purgatory, or from purgatory to heaven, the “political messiah” is encouraging his ultra-MAGA patriots to go to his “anointed” or “Vatican-approved” website to buy indulgences or “get-out-of-hell tickets” for them, and also for their own future sins—he’s hacking heaven by resurrecting or normalizing the banned spiritual practice of the Church.

DeSantis v. Disney

When a Pharisee-turned-politician, who is notorious for his “woke math” gospel in attracting “holy votes” among patriots and puritans in his red-pilled state, has been embarrassingly outwitted by an entertainment giant, and now wants to take revenge by threatening to impose taxes on its hotels and roads that lead to the theme park.

In the DeSantis v. Disney saga, it looks like the loser, who even had the time to write a MAGA-like book while in office, is running short of shady ideas how to fight his legal and political battles, especially when his previous über-corrupt and lying boss is leading in the latest polls despite his simultaneous jail-prone trials.

(🙈 🙉 🙊) 🔢

Short for “See-no-evil-hear-no-evil-speak-no-evil Math.” Emojis that caution students and their parents in conservative circles not to entertain any form of multicultural math, because it will adulterate the contributions of white mathematicians, or elevate the mathematical heritage of non-Western mathematicians.

MAGA Teacher: “What does “(🙈 🙉 🙊) 🔢” mean?”

Foreign Student: “No woke math!”

Mathematical Orgy

An excessive use of numbers or statistics to quantify everything and everyone, be it in the collection of data in a census or survey, the use or misuse of analytics or metrics, and data harvesting by big tech companies, with the aim to brainwash or control people, and to influence their decisions and habits.

Both governments and media conglomerates haven’t ceased to indulge in mathematical orgy to track people’s likes and dislikes, emotions and moods, and fears and worries.

Friendships

The secret to one’s longevity rather than just exercise or healthy diet, with God holding them tightly together.

In an age when more and more people are getting lonelier, friendships and relationships with others are vital for our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, not to say, graceful aging.

2 > 1

The theomatical equivalent that two persons are better than one, because they can enjoy the work that they do together: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. If two sleep together, they keep each other warm. If a strong person tries to hurt them, the two can defend themselves.

In the Book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon wisely reminded us that “2 > 1”—there is strength, security, and success in numbers.
