Wootube

The videos of live lessons by Australian superstar high school math teacher, Eddie Woo, who has successfully put the magic in math, and his YouTube channel that woos educators with classroom teaching ideas and interviews about mathematics.

Considering his difficult formative years when he’s frequently bullied and discriminated in the predominantly white school milieu he’s in, and taking into account that math wasn’t his favorite school subject, Wootube is nothing short of a miracle—a living proof that God took notice when others meant to harm Eddie, and today He’s rewarding him with a double portion of His blessing.

Pi Politics

The use of different values for the irrational number π to poke fun at the differing polarized views parroted by mostly hypothetical or morally bankrupt politicians in the land of senseless deaths, which occur practically every day due to zero public ban on guns.

An example of pi politics among ultra-MAGA voters is:

Trump: π = 22/7 (because it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle).

Pence: π = 3 (because the Bible tells me so).

DeSantis: π = x, where x is awaiting final approval by “woke” censors.

Compound Poverty

When you condition your mind that there is not enough money rather than there is more than enough, because while growing up, money was scarce, and your parents or loved ones were struggling to make ends meet—when you focus on saving money rather than making money.

Poor people tend to focus on their lack, which over time leads them to develop a compound poverty mindset; wealthy folks look for new streams of income that would yield compound interest by embracing an abundance mindset.

St Paul’s Church, Mauritius

A Spirit-led Anglican church on the paradise island of the dodos that has punched above its spiritual weight—a multicultural community whose impact has touched many lives through its caring, healing, and deliverance ministries, and social outreach works like hospital and prison visitations and free tuition.

St Paul’s Church, Mauritius is like salt and light to many locals, who are often disillusioned and demoralized by decades-long corruption, communalism, and compromises plaguing the nation—it offers them hope, while reminding them that God is their Vindicator, who sees all the wrongs and injustices they face, and who can’t wait to shower them with His love and peace that the world cannot give nor understand.

Covid-💩

When the number of toilet visits by millions of people on quarantine or lockdown surged exponentially, as many consumed more than what they needed, thus generating tonnes of extra shit.

Guesstimate how many tonnes of poo were produced during the April–June lockdowns due to Covid-💩 in most developed countries.

The Tao of Pi

How the cleansing and healing power of the five elements—fire, water, wood, metal, earth—could open our minds and bodies to the hidden beauty or symmetry of the number π.

To truly experience, feel, or visualize pi, a pure mathematician turned Zen Master recommended his students to the tao of pi—when they might see the invisible in π with their mind’s or spiritual eye.

(Un)protected Six

When the beautiful properties of the number 6 often lead her to unexpected or undesirable results, as she explores meaningful relationships with other numbers, who often lie to her about their alleged power or connection to take advantage of her.

Since hearing about her recurring misery, both pi and phi had stepped forward to advise (un)protected six against befriending numerical or geometrical wolves in sheep’s clothing.
