I had to do the ultimate experiment on Wikipedia:
It took 3 clicks to get from
Chocolate Brownies to
Hitler.
It took 6 clicks to get from
Cheetos to
Attila the Hun.
It took 3 clicks to get from to
Louis Baraguey de Hilliers, a Napoleonic general, to
the Smurfs, a cheesy cartoon from my childhood.
Is
everything we know in this world THAT immediately related? What does that mean for our cognitive need to categorize things?
