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.

“Say No to X, Y, Z” Bill

The “no algebra, no trauma” law mathematically challenged or symbolically allergic Trumpublicans or QAnonists are pushing for their state governor to sign, which would make the teaching of algebra optional for all grades 7–12 students if they feel that they were not born with the “mathematical gene.”
Florida Gov. DeSantis told non-symbol-minded parents that they’d count on him 100% to sign the “Say No to X, Y, Z” bill if they’d support him as the 2024 Republican Party presidential candidate.

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.

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 Pyramidologist

One who numerologically believes that the value of the number π and a number of mathematical formulas are encoded in the structure of the Great Pyramid in Egypt—for example, the perimeter of the base of the Great Pyramid divided by twice its height supposedly gives the value 3.150685.
Pi pyramidologists restrict their attention to the Great Pyramid but ignore other Egyptian pyramids—if the heights and base dimensions of 22 true pyramids were used to calculate π, the value ranges from 2.58 to 4.42.
