All roads lead to philosophy, on Wikipedia https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30338.msg385380#msg385380

Type in some terms in the search bar and see where those topics lead to. Lo and behold, they all reach philosophy somehow. The above was my own search for economy, poop, science, Forrest Gump, hamburger, and Chicago. Philosophy: the Kevin Bacon of Wikipedia.

What do you think?

You can get to any final article from any initial article, usually within six clicks.
Therefore, saying that you are able to get to the Philosophy article from any initial article isn't really mind-blowing information.

you are right, but you need to follow the next rules to reach philosophy
1- open a article in wikipedia
2- click the first link of the new page (excluding clarification and parentheses)
3- repeat the previous step

'Language' creates an infinite loop that does not include philosophy. For the record, you can get to language from 'Steve Jobs' :)

EDIT: 'Hurricane Irene' leads to 'Latin' creating an infinite loop with only itself. But if you click the next link on 'Latin', it also leads to 'Language'.

I reject your theory and replace it with my own! :)

I'm not really sure what is at all surprising that a site so full of information would have so much of it link back to the study of existence and knowledge...  Philosophy is such an old, pervasive, and multifaceted subject that it really does deal with everything.  It's like the rule34 of academics.

I tried "Heaven". I clicked the first link of each page that is neither in parenthesis, nor pronunciation. I'm currently on the UK, having gotten there from British Tanks. It's taking awhile...

By my method, Heaven led back to language, no British Tanks involved.
