Our deadline for the Nature print files is next week, so there isn't time for on the job learning. Serious inquiries only. Thx.

Serendipity
Medieval Persian fairy tale.

3 princes accidentally discovered clues to find a missing camel. The tale reached England as The Three Princes of Serendip.

Inspired, writer Horace Walpole coined the term “serendipity” to mean an unplanned fortunate discovery

The thing about the Great Man theory of history is it's mostly wrong; in general, factors spin along beyond the control of any one individual.

Then occasionally you get someone like Genghis Khan that makes you go "fuck, ok, I guess SOMETIMES it applies."
