Everything on Wikipedia Leads to PhilosophysteemCreated with Sketch.

Just found this website (that generated the image above): https://xefer.com/wikipedia

A theory was proposed that all Wikipedia entries will lead to Philosophy one link at a time, and it looks like someone took up the challenge. So I've used the following terms to see what comes up:- steemit, ethereum, bitcoin, dogecoin, zcash, facebook, reddit, twitter, instagram, donald trump, guilds, capitalism, anarchism, socialism, internet, currency, money.

I think this is awesome. Quite a useful tool for research, at least along philosophical lines, so to speak. For a larger image, check it out here: https://postimg.org/image/vinyahwmj/ or just generate your own. The trees are waiting!

My thoughts exactly!

Somebody postulated it'll take less for yoda to get to philosophy - indeed! Works for most of the star wars characters. https://postimg.org/image/i99ppbfk9/

I bet Yoda had fewer clicks to get to philosophy.

You got that right! only 5-6 clicks away

Aye, I've tried this myself.

It's more than just this. You can just click the first link of any article, and it leads to philosophy.

Just keep clicking, and eventually, you'll get there. But you might need to go beyond whatever is in parentheses. Not really sure.

There was an idea floating around that continuously following the first link of any Wikipedia article will eventually lead to “Philosophy.” 1 This sounded like a reasonable assertion, one that makes a certain amount of sense in retrospect: any description of something will typically use more general terms. Following that idea will eventually lead… somewhere.

Yup all that's needed is to keep on clicking :)

Oh, I guess I missed that really obvious part.
Uhhhh, how about I believe in redundancy? .... sure... >__<;;

I'm sure there are plenty =)

A conspiracy! :D

philosophy's running the world!

Thanks man, had never heard of this! Fascinating!

A pretty neat way to refer to stuff when getting into debates :p

Operation - @berniesanders - Negative Rep. Account

Dear Users,
I came back live because the post listed below is immoral. I will make something clear to all. I am not a bot, I use no auto codes, I do all manually, and I'm very good at everything I do, and put my hands on. You all sit around entertaining and supporting this evil person @berniesanders . You see how he does accounts in negative and treats them less than human. You see the way he bashes and abuses this blockchain and others. Those who support this immoral user who is a legend in his own mind and has won nothing, are now subject to the same tactics used before, with some new added since we want to go to another level of treating people unequal. I will come and fuck up every post painting it with truth and turning viewers and potential payers away, including new users. After all, I too am an artist. I see good people being misled, and clueless following as well. Post like this only aggravate situations, they never help. It's never good to go talking like that about others. So if you're as evil as he is, I'm coming for you. Now I made a promise to a friend to lay these accounts down for the benefit of a lot of things, and a lot of people. So, I now will show the world who is responsible for my quick return. @berniesanders is an immoral, evil, simple minded, heartless with his ways, human being. You want to fix a real life or blockchain problem, Take his ass out, and let the blockchain flourish. Take out the real trash. My flags and spam messages trying to have an equal voice never made me less than any of you. And we all well know, we see my messages as I go 1 by 1. So my friends, since this tyrannical person wants to continue to abuse others, I will remain on the server with all accounts live until @berniesanders is in the -negative reputation. I want him to know what it is like to be attacked into silence. We will see how he spams then to be heard. That is now the only cure for this virus created by abuse on humanity. Have a good day, keep smart ~ This Is A Call To Take Out The Real Trash ~ @berniesanders

To those that disagree, flag away at me. It does not matter. Even at -100 I will have a voice.
These accounts used to fight are expendable and disposable. Only Fix Listed Above.
Sincerely, @iLoveUpvotes ~
