Cryptography was mentioned in this post in a relevant manner, though I don't have enough experience with it to advocate it with certainty. Some lineages of physics (EY points to Feynman) try to evoke this, though it's pervasiveness has decreased. You may have some luck with Zen. Generally speaking, I think if you look at the Sequences, the themes of physics, security mindset, and Zen are invoked for a reason.
If being versed in cryptography was enough, then I wouldn't expect Eliezer to claim being one of the last living descendents of this lineage.
Why would Zen help (and why do you think that)?
