I think algebra too - it requires less understandng than geometry. You operate at a higher level, and in a sense, don't really know what you're doing.

Geometry existed for centuries before Euclid's formalization. Similar for algebra before Al'Khwarizmi. People were using logic before Boole.

"External Intelligence" is not new. But we are still in the informal stage of LLM use.
