“One more”



“Okay and we’ll do another one”

It makes sense right? Philosophy is the creation of new ideas and everything was once a new idea.

[LegateLynx]

It makes sense according to the structure of a wikipedia page. If you begin on a page concerning a specific subject, A more general class of which that subject is a substrate will be linked in the introductory sentence. This helps the reader by providing a foundation of the subject in its general school. Eventually as you move to broader categories the pages have to explain such things as knowledge, epistemology, science, and ideas the study of which fall under philosophy. Conversely from general and vague things like being and knowledge you have increasingly specific subsets until you reach indivisibly specific instances e.g. a patented device, a software version, or cultural artifact.

9:11 “Self identity” is inside a set of brackets. The next entry is psychology, so it maybe doesn’t matter too much. If you look up the entry for “Transistor, ” you eventually wind up at a situation where the entries for “Fact” and “Truth” refer back to each other.

Knowledge leads to Descriptive knowledge now, which lead back to knowledge. Many things don't work anymore.

I like how you added the "click" after every "click"... :D

[Georgefantunes]

I tried VW Beetle, then beetle and then I got tired of many loops. But I think it is kind of obvious that most entries will get back to philosophy because we have to use language to describe things. So, if you get into language, you may very well get into Philosophy. Not always though.

[BillHFA]

I respect Wikipedia a little more now.

[samclancy]

The first inauguration of Theodore roosevelt doesn't lead to philosophy it gets stuck in a loop of non fiction and document

[jacknguyen.]

Here is my experience:
Pewdiepie -> Youtuber -> Videography -> Image -> Visual Perception -> Visible spectrum -> Electromagnetic spectrum -> Frequency -> Unit of time -> Time -> Sequence -> Mathematics -> Quantity -> Counting -> Number -> Mathematical object -> Concept -> Abstraction -> Rule of inference -> Logical form -> Logic -> Reason -> Information -> Uncertainty -> Epistemology -> Outline of philosophy -> Philosophy
bruh...

[peachy.]

mine just keep leading to the loop of language--> spoken language--> language

[twitchizle]

I tried 10 times in turkish. It generally loops with Turkey or Earth

[tenpotkan]

I went to the Kazakh air force article, switched it over to Kazakh and ended up in a loop of 3 articles - Sun, Solar system and Mercury. Then I went to the Kazakh wikipedia about Iron and I ended up in a Planet - Orbit loop.

This is the equivalent of children continuously asking "why?" after every answer given to them

[genesisbustamante-durian]

Because philosophy is the most important thing in the world.
