It is alleged that if one follows the first link in a Wikipedia article, and the first link in that next article, and so on, one eventually gets to Philosophy. Here it is attempted from the starting point of “pettipants”, which Wikipedia claims is a thing that really exists. They surely wouldn’t be fibbing about a thing like that, would they? On the other hand they also claim Helena is the capital of Montana, when in fact Montana has no capital. So who knows?
- Pettipants
- Lingerie
- Undergarment
- Clothing
- Human (as “Human Beings”)
- Homo Sapiens
- Latin
- Classical language (which explains “a classical language is a language with a literature that is classical”, so I’m glad we have that sorted out)
- Literature
- Literariness (skipping ‘cultura’ as that’s just a link within the same page)
- Language
- Communication
- Intention (as Purposeful)
- Mind (as Mental)
- Consciousness
- Quality (Philosophy)
- Philosophy
I have not the slightest idea how I got to Pettipants in the first place, even if they were anything that ever existed, which they don’t.

After many years with a wonderful and taented mathematician and his friends (topology, functional analysis), I’ve discovered that exactly this always happens- no matter where you start- dinner, drinks, theater, walk on sunday, visit with friends, the result is always the same. “a bunch of happy boys solving equations-Feinman” More power to you all.

Ha ha … well, I run with philosophers more, so we usually get to see the conversation come around to Plato’s Symposium, in time. There’s apparently a lot of good stuff in it. I should read it sometime.

Interesting. Of course, you were starting with an easy one, though. I mean the link between pettipants and philosophy is so clear, the words are virtually synonyms.

Of course I start with an easy one. If I wanted to do anything hard would I blog in the first place?

Well, I must admit, you have a good point there. I’m going to go off and experiment with this later. I wonder if I can really go from something like walnuts or emperor penguins and end up at philosophy. Sounds like something to bring a little bit of light into an otherwise dreary working day..

Good luck! I’d love to hear what the results are.
