This blows my mind every time

This is an old trick but it blows my mind every time. And in case anyone does not know it:

Go to Wikipedia, lookup anything. Or follow a Wikipedia link somewhere, does not matter.

In the article, click on the first normal link (not italic or bold). Continue doing this.

No matter what, at some point, you will get to the page on Philosophy. It never misses. Well, there are a few ways to get stuck in a loop, but it's rare.

OP didn't say it, but you don't use the language ones in parentheses.
Human links to Species which links to Biology, Natural Science, Science.
Taxonomy also links to Science (although it's not in this particular series).
Science ends at philosophy.

(Actually you went wrong at Latin)

Yeah anything in brackets does not seem to count. I'm thinking even anything in quotes. Has to be in a normal part of the text.

Don't click the links in parenthesis that say what origin the word is from. For example, don't click on "Latin" on the science page when it says "Science (from Latin: scientia meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise..."

Has anyone found one that does not route through Science? Once you hit Science you know you'll get there.
