Path to Philosophy

Getting to Philosophy is a fascinating phenomenon where if you open any Wikipedia article and:
  1. Click the first link in the main text
  2. Repeat this on each subsequent page
  3. You'll eventually reach the Philosophy page

97% of articles reach Philosophy - the rest hit external links, non-existent pages, or loops.

🪱 Enter a Wikipedia page below & see its path to Philosophy.

Notes & Acknowledgments

  1. This is a fun little game meant to spark curiosity - not something to take too seriously. Enjoy the rabbit holes and the weird connections you uncover. Found a bug or have thoughts? Reach out to @nishanth_who on Twitter.

  2. We reserve the right to remove leaderboard entries that we believe violate the spirit of the game. This includes, but is not limited to: using automated tools, exploiting bugs, or submitting paths that don't reflect genuine human Wikipedia navigation.

  3. Special thanks to the maintainers of wtf_wikipedia on github.

  4. Thank you to my friends for helping me test this through.
