Xefer, a utility that allows us to discover that behind any term that we search in Wikipedia, by clicking on the first link of all the entries, we would arrive at Philosophy.

Some of you will still remember the encyclopedias, that pile of books that brought a lot of information, extinct today thanks to the largest and most dynamic library in the world, Wikipedia. This is an excellent tool for working, searching for information at a given moment, or researching unknown historical figures. Well, the largest encyclopedia in the world hides an interesting secret and that is that if we skip from article to article, there is a mysterious thread that takes us to the same page, let's start the journey where we start, leading us to Philosophy.

This has been shown in xfer, who have created a fairly simple web utility that anyone can use that tells us the number of jumps to get to Rome, well, in this case, to Philosophy. What Xefer does is automatically click on the first link of each article, which will take us directly, after an indeterminate number of jumps to Philosophy. We have tried it with several terms, as you can see in the image and curiously all roads lead to Philosophy and in this case, the three terms leave us the 'Hardware Sword'

We can do this trip in several languages. In any language we end up reaching Philosophy if we click on the first link of each entry, but the curious thing is that in Spanish it costs a little more to reach it than in other languages. Depending on the term we are looking for, it is also more or less.

This utility allows the selection of totally random articles, offering the possibility of using tools to change the format of the final graph and even to export the data and use it in other media. Logically this tool will not provide us with relevant or useful information, it is simply the digital extrapolation that all roads lead to Rome, in this case, whatever term we look for leads us to Philosophy ... and to wisdom?
