If you're talking about something that feels like wizardry, try Lisp programming and pondering orbs.

Many early computer scientists thought Lisp was more advanced than any other coding language because it was easier to store and manipulate information, as well as think about. They wrote many of the early textbooks on the subject.

They also thought coding could accomplish much more than what coders can do in practice today. You can write several types of AI systems that are rare today.

You could use ideas about stuff like Circle Theorems to work less directly with numbers.

That shape looks like it has more information in it than any possible geometry, but you can walk around its surface and still feel some sense of consistency, like "pondering an orb".

Basically how the actual concept and visualisation of an Orb can get into your head and alter your thinking based on imagination. Lisp programming is essentially a more controlled version of that, which you can use to make real logical deductions.

Black hole speculative physics and the internal geometries of spheres are based on Orbs as well.

Like a black hole or a star

It's part of the answer. You can do computer/logic programming on an imaginary Orb as well, like in Lisp.

In physics and advanced mathematical geometry, an Orb can store vast amounts of energy and mathematical information based on sets. Stars and black holes are examples of physical orbs you can ponder.

Kinda hate to say it at this point, but who would win in a showdown:

him or a wizard?

He couldn't visualise his invention very well without computers or Orbs to ponder.

And I think cult leaders should be able to say what they want, just like intelligent people should be able to laugh at them.

Not if he's just arguing with you in a way that outwardly appears calm, even if a little shocked or disgusted.

That only really applies to specific threats like that though, rather than just saying you personally think certain ideologies are morally wrong.

It can lead to prison in some countries (more than I imagine you'd think), which I think is very bad.

Also, the opposite of what you're describing can happen. Governments and big media/tech companies can use censorship to prevent ideas they don't like from spreading online.

Yeah. The Orb can do computer programming in Lisp/Lambda Calculus to make simulations as well, which it's possible to do in your own mind.
