        Just discovered today that if you continuously click on the first link of any Wikipedia article (that is not in brackets or italicised) it will eventually lead you to the topic on Philosophy.

        It actually works, lol. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series) -> Comic science fiction -> Genre -> Literature -> Latin -> Italic Languages -> Indo-European languages -> Language family -> Language -> Communication -> Meaning (philosophy of language)

                    It worked for me, try this: 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn (in 'In the news' section) --> Grímsvötn --> Iceland --> Europe --> Continent --> Landmass --> Landform --> Earth science --> Science --> Knowledge --> Fact --> Information --> Sequence --> Mathematics --> Research --> Knowledge --> Fact --> Reality (skip 'Information' to avoid infinite loop) --> Being --> English language --> West Germanic languages --> Germanic languages --> Indo-European languages --> Language family --> Language --> Communication --> Meaning (philosophy of language) --> Philosophy
