I love everything about this photo.
Tbf that Al dude is OOZING confidence
Ai The engine is janky looking, he is missing his right hand, the fonts are garbled even the Honda logo is off, the peeps in the background have bizarre stances, his bike looks more like a suzuki 1100r
AI. That bike is supposed to be a Honda Hurricane. One of Honda’s first full frame sports bikes. It has an inline 4. The motor it shows looks like a Vtwin or some kind of dual crank case thing going on.
There are actually 2 versions for this bike. The 600 and 1000cc. The 600 is actually faster than the 1000 in terms of pure acceleration. I owned the 600, I think it was a 1987 or 89.
Out of all the bikes I ever owned(and I owned many), this bike was the bike that got the most looks and thumbs up.
I miss this thing.
Kinda hate to say it at this point, but who would win in a showdown:
him or a wizard?
Whoever wants to gain knowledge. The Orb is a special shape affecting belief systems and encoding knowledge.

A circle is just a simpler orb. It also has infinite data points.
This encodes knowledge because it has numbers with relationships and shapes. You could imagine writing something that looks like how to add a number in this system. It makes up inter-related values and something that looks like data structures using maths.
Same with Lambda Calculus or programming in Lisp since it does the exact same thing. It builds up abstractions. You can store the concept in your own head, set it to some state, then see how things are related.
Ancient mathematicians like Pythagoras would often worship shapes and use them to inform beliefs, along with spreading knowledge about these shapes and their properties. Shapes can encode vectors and matrix transformations, along with mathematical group theory, which should all clearly be logically the same as any mathematical system.
Ancient mathematicians weren’t stupid either. They used internal geometries to deduce things about the transformations of shapes based on assumptions about what was inside the shape, then show stuff that was obviously true to them since they can visualise it.
If you wanted to understand all this stuff and have it look obvious, you could try reading:
-SICP (Lisp programming by early MIT researchers)
-An Intro to Octave programming (and how it relates to shapes)
And finally anyone who’s spoken about “SCP 606” or “The Orb”. Many have: Ashens (British youtuber who made a popular video literally called the Orb), Tomska (related), Terry Davis (and other crazy people who were skilled in certain practices a bit like computers), religious leaders who seemed to preach shapes like triangles (with rotation identities), people like Richard Stallman who made up weird philosophies many easily followed and could justify to themselves, old fantasy stories with orbs that worked like computers, etc.
Many people discovered and used these very universal concepts to try to “enlighten” themselves about most skills many could never understand or dream of in their own minds, like operating systems or consistently appealing comedy.
