@louis The algorithm and most of my algorithms are probably a bad example of luck. My career has largely been a constant aeries of new algorithms I have invented.

The aspects of luck in my mind are more things like this:

* genetic lottery for intelligence
* birth lottery as I wasn't born to a remote tribe or something
* genetic lottery for not having depression or something else that could have crippled my motivation (drug addiction too)

There is always some element of luck that i could have not overcome otherwise. But my point is just that something that can truly stop you is quite rare.
