< and >

The inequality or “woke math” signs for “greater than” (>) and “less than” (<), which often confuse an obscene number of young schoolchildren worldwide, because they mistake one sign for another.

Two metamathematics questions on “< and >” are:
True or False: (a) 3 > ⁵ and (b) ₅ < 4.

Mathematical Heresy

The myth that you can do (almost) everything with math, or that being good at math or logic is a secure ticket to financial freedom, which is absolute bull if you look at the millions of exam-smart or geeky people who love math and have excelled in the subject, yet could hardly make ends meet.

Let not mathematical heresy blind you, because your love for numbers and their relationships more often than not doesn’t pay the bills nor guarantee you a decent job.

What Color Is Pi?

A question that could be answered metamathematically, synesthetically, or paranormally by those who are über-sensitive to the five senses normally experienced by the majority of humanity, or maybe by a minority who might be blessed with a sixth or seventh sense.

Could the answer to “What color is pi?” be any of the seven main colors of the rainbow? What are the odds that autistics, schizophrenics, and aspies have differing answers to the metamathematical question?

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.

Pi’s Irrationality

When the number π uses its celebrity status in popular culture to push other mathematical constants or beloved numbers around so that they remain out of sight to the lay public, who might otherwise discover their hidden beautiful numerical or geometric properties.

Some numerical rebels like 0, √2, e, i, and 𝛷 have ganged together to protest against pi’s irrationality—they wanted π to be censored for its bullying behaviors and condescending attitudes vis-à-vis fellow mathematical constants and geometric figures.
