No still the same. Funny is that powerful mythical but also powerful comic figures end up faster at philosophy. Less then 25 jumps i guess (sort of counting).

In 'pharmacology' you skipped 'Greek'. That's the first regular link. That puts it in a loop...

You skipped "Ancient Greek" in Genetics (the first link).

Captain Planet to philosophy is 23 jumps.

Goku -> Philosophy - 19

The Crow -> Philosophy - 11

Noam Chomsky -> Philosophy - 20

China -> Philosophy - 12

USA -> Philosophy - 21

Aliasing -> Philosophy - 12

God -> Philosophy - 21
 
You are doing it wrong. 🙁
If you were to do it right after that one wrong you still end up at philosophy.

Uh, no.

Genetics ->
Ancient Greek ->
Greek language ->
Indo-European languages ->
Language family ->
Language ->
Human ->
Taxonomy ->
Ancient Greek

Recursion!

Can't you just admit this game is fail?
 
Eh, it's because Wiki's standard opening for articles is "X is a Y", where X is specific and Y is more general. So apparently, philosophy is as broad and general as one can get.
 
Uh, no.

Genetics ->
Ancient Greek ->
Greek language ->
Indo-European languages ->
Language family ->
Language ->
Human ->
Taxonomy ->
Ancient Greek

Recursion!

That was the doing it wrong part... Skip the junk in the () at the start of articles.
 
Uh, no.

Genetics ->
Ancient Greek ->
Greek language ->
Indo-European languages ->
Language family ->
Language ->
Human ->
Taxonomy ->
Ancient Greek

Your supposed to skip linguistic history stuff in the parenthesis.
 
Uh, no.

Genetics ->
Ancient Greek ->
Greek language ->
Indo-European languages ->
Language family ->
Language ->
Human ->
Taxonomy ->
Ancient Greek

Recursion!

Can't you just admit that you didn't read the thread?
 
Uh, no.

Genetics ->

Taxonomy ->

Recursion!

No, you don't click on the language links in parentheses. You're still doing it wrong. 😀

Greek language is not in italic or bold.

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)

You didn't read the thread 🙂
