accidental wisdom
Accidental wisdom is knowledge or insight gained unintentionally—often through mishap, poison, or unguarded moments—rather than through deliberate pursuit or earned mastery. It appears across mythology as a disruption of intended outcomes, where the wrong person receives the gift or enlightenment arrives through chaos.
