    Here’s a fun game:

    Pick any Wikipedia article. Click the first link. Keep clicking the first link. Eventually you’ll end up at Philosophy and forever be in a loop going back to Philosophy.

    Turns out conscious thinking and applying logical rigor is the basis for everything we perceive.

      I’m trying this out.

      Here’s the results: Shadow King (Marvel character): success after about 10 links

      Ernest Shackleton (article of the day): 10 clicks

      Wikipedia (the article): 4 clicks

      Church of the Holy Mother of God, Bolshiye Saly: 14 clicks

      James Loren Martin: 24 clicks

      Annette Ziegler: 14 clicks

      Almost all of them went through Philosophy of Science or Philosophy of Art. Seems like a pretty reliable rule.
