How would math be different if we redefined 1 to be what we call pi, meaning it is not irrational? Would it make things easier or harder?

Harder? It's not much of an issue that pi is irrational.

But women are irrational and we all have trouble with them

By Pi do you mean the symbol itself or the abstract idea of the number Pi?
Because either way, it's pointless. 1Pi 2Pi 3Pi and so on. Everything is still defined in terms of the fundamental sequence of numbers.

It would make a circle's length equal to its diameter's length. Circles would fail to exist, and probably all dimensions above 1 would cease to exist.

well, it is not random at all. It was discovered by humans and defined by the first big bang.

One of the most important properties of 1 is that 1*N=N for all N.
Redefining 1 to mean pi would break everything.
Justin James
At that point you're just proving that numbers are arbitrary, or at least how we represent them.

I suppose a better way to put it would be that if the sequence 1,2,3,...n is redefined to mean pi,2pi,3pi...npi, then the element of the natural numbers previously known as 1 becomes an irrational constant necessary for most multiplication.
This would make math tedious.

Probably more error as well.
