Tell HN: Clicking first link in Wikipedia articles lead to Philosophy page
3 points by anooh 1647 days ago
From xkcd's comics:

“Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at ‘Philosophy’.”

I tried it with Y-Combinator:

Y Combinator -> Startup accelerator -> Cohort -> Student society -> Society -> Social Group -> Social Science -> Branches of Science -> Sciences -> Scientfic Method -> Empirical Evidence -> Proposition -> Logic -> Truth -> Reality -> Object of the mind -> Object -> Philosophy

I tried Joe Manchin - didn't work. I ended up in a loop.
