Philosophy

I saw someone post this of Facebook.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to any random wikipedia article.

Click on the first link in the article (skip any parentheses).

Repeat.

You will always end up on the "Philosophy" page.

I've just tried several pages and it's true!
Crazy stuff.

Hm, I remember reading somewhere that the page for the UK was the centre of wiki because you could get to it from any other page in an average 3.something clicks.

Couldn't get there from that!

Closest I could get to was 'meaning'

I managed to get there. Took longer than most, but it does end up on the page:

commune > administrative division > political division > term of art > vocabulary > words > language > communication > meaningful > Aristotle > Greek > nation > sovereign state > state > social sciences > scholarship > world > human > taxonomically > science > knowledge > facts > information > sequence > mathematics > quantity > property > modern philosophy > PHILOSOPHY!
