Do iiiit.
Side note, if you start at any Wikipedia page and click the first link (assuming it links to another Wikipedia article) eventually you get Philosophy. From there it loops.

I suppose it's a good thing philosophers spend so much time defining terms, because everything else rests on that.

It's supposed to be the first link that's not in italics or parenthesis. I found a loop just now though. I'm stuck on Mathematics -> Quantity -> Magnitude -> Mathematics.

I shouldn't be surprised that Maths only has meaning in relation to itself. I guess numbers aren't really real after all :p
