Jesus v. Deities

The theological or theomatical equivalent of an identity versus an equation—it is like comparing the infinite solutions of Christ to the extraneous or faux solutions of gods and goddesses.

Without Christ in the equation, it’s just an expression; a false prophet or guru would offer a faux or extraneous solution with quasi-zero suspicion from the flock they’re leading or deceiving—this is why people need to learn about the spiritual truths in the “Jesus v. Deities” eternal war.

Pi 3:14

The banned Book of Pi, chapter 3, verse 14, where the prophet wrote: “I have seen and experienced all beautiful, irrational, imaginary, metamathematical, transcendental, and sacred things about the number π under the sun; all of them are man-made and meaningless, a chasing after the next mathematical shiny object.”

Does Pi 3:14 sound like a mathematical equivalent of Ecclesiastes 1:14, where King Solomon with all his wisdom and wealth concluded that all is vanity?

Pi Clock

A normal clock in which the numerals representing the numbers 1 to 12 have been replaced by only three irrational numbers, positioned at π, 2π, and 3π.

What is the acute angle measure when the minute hand of a pi clock points exactly at 2π while the hour hand has moved past 3π—or when the time is slightly past 9:30? Answer: 97.3°.

Algebra

The branch of mathematics that turns simple-minded people into symbol-minded citizens, who work out the values of unknowns x’s, y’s, z’s with the help of constants a’s, b’s, c’s.

Algebra helps students to move from the particular to the general, by enabling them to speak the language of science so that they’d make sense of the workings of the universe.

#TrumpMath

A Twitter hashtag that mathematically pokes fun at the twice-impeached, thrice-married Donald J. Trump, by divining or predicting what he would do based on his idiocies and idiosyncrasies, which have kept thousands of reporters, writers, and comedians worldwide happy (and also lazy)—they were blessed with daily free juicy materials from the Pinocchio-in-Chief turned Pharisee-in-Chief to write about.

#TrumpMath parodies Trump’s fake news, which revolves around dishonesty, hypocrisy, racism, supremacism, vanity, and xenophobia, among other things.

Pitrepreneur

A math educator or geek who plans to turn their passion or obsession for the number π into cash.

Be it via newly coined pi-related definitions, factoids, and jokes on mugs and T-shirts; pop math books on or about pi for dummies, idiots, and morons; or pi NFTs and PiCoins, Prof. Ian, a self-professed pitrepreneur, wants to turn his geeky passion into obscene profits.

Less Is More

When an item or product costs more than a similar one with less sugar or salt content, which seems to suggest that having lesser or fewer of something is more inconvenient or harder to produce, or making a decision to be healthier is dearer—could it also be a mere marketing gimmick to lure health-conscious freaks?

A six-pack of Chrysanthemum Tea costs $1.95, but a similar one with lower sugar content costs $2.30; two isotonic bottle drinks cost $3.95, while the ones with zero sugar cost $4.40—aren’t these two cases prove that “less is more”?
