Pitectionism

Short for “pi protectionism.” When the number π prioritizes her tasks based on their value, cost, and urgency—she saves much time and creates great value, by focusing on the “signal-in-the-noise” tasks, unlike her fellow numerical constants that often react paranoiacally at the slightest rumor or furor.

Without practicing pitectionism, the most famous constant in mathematics would be unable to remain popular or be part of popular culture for so long, especially among those who unashamedly pride themselves to be “hopeless” at math.
