I just saw a clip for a streaming service on YouTube, and this user on Wikipedia created a game in which you click on the first link in the article, and you keep on doing that and you end up at "Philosophy". I tried it and it works (even though Wikipedia is not reliable for information). I started at "Golf" and ended at "Philosophy". Here are the steps that I took:

Golf->Sport->Competition->Territory (animal)->Ethology->Scientific Method->Scientific Technique->Systematic Process->Critical Thinking->Fact->Experience->Knowledge->Awareness->Quality (Philosophy)->Philosophy.

Try it yourself and put your results in this thread.

EDIT: I did it with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, and it took approximately 12 steps to get from him to philosophy, ten steps with Paris Hilton and about 15 with Bjork.

Well, it looks like it's not an infallible system. Since I got stuck in a loop about compasses. Granted I did skip disambiguation links and pronounciation guide links but I figured that would go without saying.

Finally! Only took me 19 pages.

lol I find it funny how I go from a Japanese boy idol rhythm game and anime series, to info on Britain, to politics, then to philosophy. I was sure it wouldn't work for what I put in, but I was proved wrong.
