Do All Roads Lead to Philosophy on Wikipedia?: They Do About 97.3% of the Time
Briefly

In February 2016, it was reported that following the first hyperlink in an English Wikipedia article typically led to the Philosophy article for about 97% of all articles. This phenomenon suggests a fascinating aspect of how interconnected knowledge can be navigated through hyperlinks, effectively leading readers on an intellectual journey that often culminates in philosophical discussions.
Following the chain of hyperlinks starting from 'Plastic Love' does not always lead to ultimate knowledge about philosophy; at times, paths recur around ideas like abstraction and logic without conclusively engaging with philosophy itself. This underscores the limitations of the Wikipedia structure, where certain topics spiral into loops instead of directly addressing core philosophical concepts.
