Let Insight Designer Untie Your Knots!

Will Wellman

In my experience, History professors are some of the most warm and helpful people. I got a lot of great life advice and quite a few good jokes from conversations during my college years. But my favorite aspect was talking to them about their specific specializations. My favorite question to ask my professors was, “What is your favorite legend from history?” Every professor seemed to have an answer right away.

My favorite was the story I got from our Greek History professor, and it was about the Gordian knot.


If you’re not familiar, the legend goes that there was once a super complicated knot that was unable to be untied. It was prophesied that whoever could undo the knot was the only one worthy to be king. Alexander the Great, when confronted with the knot, just cut it in half with his sword.

I like that legend because it’s really just a metaphor for finding a simple solution to a complicated problem.
