FTX

A now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange that was helping people to buy and sell crypto assets, but was operating like a Ponzi scheme with the help and promotion of celebrities and influencers, or like an unregulated bank or casino favored by pseudo-geeky speculators.

Pi on Fire

When the number π is so proactive and paranoid in marketing herself so that she would constantly remain in the mathematical consciousness of mathematicians and math educators, while making herself conspicuous in the eyes of the lay public to be part of popular culture.
To avoid being disrupted or eclipsed by other mathematical constants, all vying to get the attention of the mathematical brethren, it’s not surprising to witness pi on fire 24/7/365.

Who Wants to Be a MAGA Millionaire?

The title of a new reality show that aims to keep the Pinocchio-in-Chief in the limelight and to help raise funds to defray some of his dear legal costs, but he is having difficulty in getting sponsors and a TV channel to run the weekly show for him.
Cronies of the Commander in Cheat are begging him to delay the announcement of “Who Wants to Be a MAGA Millionaire?” on Truth Social until he’s cleared of most of his bigly lawsuits, which could land him behind bars and disqualify him from running as a third-time presidential candidate.

< 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.

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.

Piocracy

A form of government in the metaverse ruled by a rogue figure, human or humanoid, who or which is backed by radical elements of the Numerati, who share an obsession about all things pi-related—their goal is to decipher the sacred meanings of the digits of the transcendental number π in order to unearth the secrets of the universe.
What are the odds that piocracy isn’t some digital form of fringe governance, but one that is planned by extraterrestrials that are keen to subject earthlings under their control?

Pigiarist

Someone who pilfers other people’s results on the number π and passes them as their own.
Guesstimate the number of math educators- or mathematicians-turned-pigiarists worldwide, who eventually get tenured.
