When math historians from the US and the West never fail to emphasize the contributions of white mathematicians on the development of the number π, with quasi-zero mention of inputs from their nonwhite counterparts.
With a large proportion of journal articles being published by co-authors from different nationalities or races, to what extent is pi colonialism still being practiced in academic publishing today?

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.

Also known as “Singapore Math in the Metaverse.” When thanks to Web 3.0 technology, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—backed by blockchain technology to ensure authenticity and ownership—become common currency or key connecting points to the metaverse among math educators and geeky investors.
While Singapore Math 3.0 is still in its diapers, or is still wet so we can’t see its true colors, mathepreneurs can’t afford to be spectators that they miss out on the opportunities and experiences and new revenue streams offered by the new digital Wild West economy.

The most disruptive figure in all of humanity, and the universe’s most nonreligious figure, whose death on the cross now allows humankind to have a direct communication line with their Creator, without daily, weekly, monthly, or annual rituals, rites, and animal sacrifices, or obeying man-made religious laws.
In some parts of the world, the mere mention of Jesus Christ, or being caught reading the Good News about His love and power, could land truth seekers behind bars, because His name is above all other names—all (human, demonic, or spiritual) forces, governments, and principalities on earth are under His sovereign rule.

When a very small percentage of white privileged parents in some red states want public schools to fine or fire math and science teachers who preach that the number π is irrational; instead, they want them to teach that pi’s “true” value is three, citing 1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2 in the Bible as “proof” for their claim.
Under the banner of "parents' rights," a small aggressive group of alt-right Trumpublicans and “fine” patriots expect their oft-morally bankrupt senator to push for woke pi in all schools statewide.

Arguably the most under-appreciated art form: patterns, symmetries, shapes, formulas, rules, proofs, applications, mysteries, myths, philosophies, ahas, and the like.
If math is the language of science and technology, why is it the world’s most disliked school subject for billions of students and their parents?

When theomaticians and philosophers couldn’t see eye to eye based on the number π’s oft-conflicting or mixed interactions with other numbers or constants whether her allegiance is with the Vatican or with the Church of England.
Does π subscribe to the Pope’s or to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s theomatical teachings on how rational and irrational numbers ought to behave themselves in private and in public? Is pi Catholic or Protestant?
