Can we Ponder this Orb?
I believe "The Orb" is actually a concept that holds a lot of power on these forums.
It's an idea that can easily spread and is enjoyed. If you look at memes on here right now, you're constantly being forced to "ponder" (or think about) it, which isn't even something I'm complaining about.
It can plant itself (at least temporarily) in your mind. Since it's also associated with so many things (like wizards and fantasies), it can encourage you to think about things in a certain way.

True. This isn't a great image, but it still represents the concept of The Orb in a fairly simple way.
A metaphysical orb? The abstract, post-modern concept of orb-ness?
Very avant-garde.
Yes. And thinking about that too much in a way you can't control can send you insane. Lambda Calculus is like "The Orb" too, which is just Lisp (list processing) programming.
This is also essentially equivalent to the SCP 606 (partly redacted but still quite detailed infohazard article).
