Path to Philosophy – Find how any Wikipedia page leads to Philosophy

I built a fun game called Path to Philosophy.

You can pick any starting page and see the full path unfold. If you find long paths, you can submit them to the leaderboard. It’s a fun way to explore how diverse ideas often converge into shared conceptual roots.

Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings! How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value…
