Comment on These things are always the biggest pain in the ass to untangle
Trail@lemmy.world 9 months agoI was thinking about the Gordian knot the other day. Isn’t it a lame solution, like cheating your way through? I dunno, I never liked that part.
What is your opinion, as a selfclaimed obsessed over it?

I think Alexander got what was coming to him. He cut through a complicated problem and ruined one of the mysteries of the world in the process.
Then he took over much of the world then he mysteriously fell ill and died after 12 days of suffering.
My fan theory is that he could have unraveled the gordian knot in 12 days and would have become a true emperor of the world if he had had the patience to give it an honest try.

Same. I’ve heard it spoken of, but never what it actually was.
