The elderly woman has gray hair styled in a bun and is wearing a purple blouse and a long green skirt. She is sitting on a brown couch, holding her hands together, appearing reflective and somewhat somber.
She says, "Even though I've lost him, I can take comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved."

**"THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA" IS A CONCEPT FROM THE FIELD OF GAME THEORY.**
Imagine two perfectly rational prisoners who don’t know what the other is doing.
Each can rat out the other or remain silent, resulting in 4 possible outcomes:
| | RAT OUT | REMAIN SILENT |
|--------|------------------|------------------|
| RAT OUT | Both get 1 year. | One gets free, one gets 5 years. |
| REMAIN SILENT | One goes free, one gets 5 years. | Both get 6 months. |
If you squeal, you get either 1 or 2 years. If you keep mum, it’s 5 or 6 years.
So, even though D is the best choice, the "perfectly rational" people pick A!

**THE DILEMMA CAN BE APPLIED TO MORALITY…**
Do unto others as you…

|--------|------------------|------------------|
| BAD FOR ALL | GREAT FOR 1 | HORRIBLE FOR 2 |
| GREAT FOR 2 | HORRIBLE FOR 1 | GOOD FOR ALL |

The comic features two characters: a doctor and a patient. The doctor has gray hair, wears glasses, and holds a clipboard. He is dressed in a green shirt and has a medical headlamp on his forehead. The patient, who is bare-chested, has medium-length brown hair and looks slightly concerned.
The text consists of two speech balloons:
1. The doctor says, "We'll be performing a vivisection of your erection for detection of infection in connection with erection imperfection."
2. Below the main scene, there is a caption that reads, "Sometimes I wish Dr. Seuss had an MD."
The background appears to be a clinical setting, with a dark color palette and shelves that suggest a medical environment.

**STEP 1:** CRAZY PERSON SAYS CRAZY THING.

*I think the “Bonapartist” statement was meant to convey a broader dissatisfaction with government.*

*Why won’t this story die? We explore this question in part fourteen of our ongoing investigation.*

**Panel 1:**
_In the study of evolution, there is a concept called “sexually antagonistic selection.” The idea is that some genes benefit one sex over the other._

**SCREW "REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS"
WANT KIDS TO LEARN SCIENCE?
PUT THIS IN EVERY TEXTBOOK:**
You can ignore this book if you want.
Go ahead. Coast through class.
But one thing in life is certain:
Someday, someone will clone a dinosaur.
And that someone will be an expert
in a million things you think are boring right now.
And if you don’t study, and work, and think
One day you’ll watch that person saddle up,
put on a cowboy hat, and ride a T. Rex
From a monitor.
Until your boss asks why you’re wasting company time.

It's called "The Paradox of the Court." In Athens, Protagoras made a deal with Euthalus.
Protagoras: "Tell you what - I'll teach you how to speak in court, and you don't have to pay me till you win your first case."
Euthalus: "Great!"
---
**Panel 2:**
But later, Euthalus didn't bother to seek any cases.

So, Protagoras sued Euthalus for his payment.
Protagoras: "If I win, the court says you pay me. If I lose, our deal says you pay me."
---
**Panel 4:**
But Euthalus countered.
Euthalus: "Not so! If I win, the court says I don't pay. If I lose, you failed to teach me, so I don't pay."
---
**Panel 5:**
The argument was elliptically beautiful.
Euthalus: "But if you win the first case, then there is new information, so I can sue a second time."
---
**Panel 6:**
Euthalus: "But, if you win the second case, it invalidates the first. So you see—"
---
**Panel 7:**
Later, Athens somehow lost the Peloponnesian War.
Euthalus: "But, did you kill me or did the spear? Or society? Or nature herself?"

The comic titled "HOW TO INFURIATE A MATH MAJOR" presents a simplistic graph.
- The vertical axis is labeled with numbers from 1 to 4.
- The horizontal axis is not labeled.
- The graph itself shows a red line that starts below the 1 on the vertical axis, rises sharply, and then flattens out as it approaches the value of 1, with the line remaining horizontal at that level.
One humorous element is the label "LABELED AXES ON THIS GRAPH" placed near the vertical axis. This contrasts with the absence of a label for the horizontal axis, which is likely the source of frustration for a math major.

**Panel 2:**
The robot replies, "QUICK! Whoever is the real unit JO-4918.23.6234-111.2, say something only unit JO-4918.23.6234-111.2 would say!" Its expression is eager and confident.
**Panel 3:**
The other robot starts to express itself in binary code, represented as a series of numbers: "01010101001011010101010100101010..." The character in the trash can looks concerned, holding a weapon and looking towards the robots.

- The text reads: "He was my friend… but he got too smart."
**Panel 3:**
- The first character continues the story, with a serious expression as he recounts past events.
- The text reads: "Five years ago, we tied him in loops, and cut his head into strips."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic's content:
**Panel 1:**
A smiling, bald man in a suit asks a woman, who has long, curly red hair, “Your transaction is complete. Would you like to purchase any happiness?” The woman responds with a dismissive "Oh, no thanks. Money can't buy happiness?"
**Panel 2:**
The man continues with enthusiasm, “That’s why we created ‘happy bucks.’ They can be exchanged for regular money any time, and there’s no social stigma attached to wanting lots of them.” The woman appears intrigued as she looks at a card in her hand.
**Panel 3:**
In a reflective manner, the woman asks, “Can happy bucks buy happiness?” The man responds, “I’ve never heard a truism saying they can’t.” He’s smiling confidently.
**Panel 4:**
The woman, now animatedly excited, exclaims, “I’ll take ten thousand!” Her expression shows eagerness and determination, while she holds a card displaying a monetary amount in her hand.
The comic plays with the humorous concept of "happy bucks" as a currency for happiness, with a light-hearted and engaging conversation between the characters.

IF ONE PERSON KILLS SOMEONE, 50% OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE VICTIMS. IF 99 PEOPLE KILL SOMEONE, 1% OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE VICTIMS.
THE PERCENT VICTIMS IS GIVEN BY V = THE LIMIT OF K/X AS X APPROACHES INFINITY, WHERE K IS PEOPLE KILLED, AND X IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INVOLVED.
THUS, FOR SUFFICIENTLY LARGE X, MURDER IS A VICTIMLESS CRIME.
SO, THE BIGGER WE MAKE A WAR, THE MORE ETHICAL IT BECOMES.

The image shows a woman with short, brown hair, wearing a blue top and a blazer, speaking at a podium with a microphone.

"The aliens believed they were the center of the universe."
"Greetings, humans. We are the Zorbaxians: chosen people of the Multiverse Maker."
**Panel 2:**
"We disagreed."
"Oh, ha! We got over that chauvinism long ago. Each tribe believed it was central, but was wrong. We thought the Earth was central and that was wrong. We thought this galaxy was central, and that was wrong."
**Panel 3:**
"It turned out that their experience had been different from ours."
"See how the entire universe forms a wheel with spokes that meet in the center at Zorblax Prime? Also, when you combine the rhythms of all pulsar emissions and express them as musical tones, it forms the Zorbaxian national anthem. Oh! And starting at the 3^5/7^11/13^17th digit of pi, there's a code that translates to 'hooray for Zorblax.'"
**Panel 4:**
"This was sad, but briefly hopeful."
"Can... can we join you?"
"Oh, sorry... our religion only allows us to ally with ensouled creatures."
**Panel 5:**
"After they left, humanity felt empty. Alone. Devoid of purpose."
"They're gone, and we're nothing."
"And all they left us was these 'Zorblax' #1 foam hands."
**Panel 6:**
"Having collectively hit rock bottom, we decided as a group to give our lives meaning."
"I'm announcing a radical shift in our economy."
"No more war. No more waste. We shall orient our entire society around science and technology, and we shall claim our manifest destiny!"
**Panel 7:**
"And within a few thousand years... we did it."
"Suck it, Zorblax!"

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic along with the transcription of the text:
### Description:
The comic consists of four panels, showcasing a series of interactions between characters, depicted in a cartoonish art style. The characters appear to be men, with varied expressions and emotions. The environment looks like a room, possibly an office setting. The comic contains humorous dialogue addressing the concept of relative unhappiness.
### Transcription of Text:
**Panel 1:**
- Character 1 (an older man in a suit, frowning): “STOP BEING UNHAPPY! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU!”
**Panel 2:**
- Character 2 (another older man, slightly disheveled): “STOP BEING UNHAPPY! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU!”
**Panel 3:**
- Character 3 (wearing sunglasses, looking serious): “STOP BEING UNHAPPY! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU!”
**Panel 4:**
- Below three interspersed characters (a man with a beard and an eyebrow raise and another character with a bald head):
- **Middle Panel**: A crowd of characters, some facing the viewer, create a spiral pattern indicating a large group.
**Final Panels:**
- Character 4 (a disheveled man with evident injuries and a skeptical look): “WAIT. I’M THE LEAST FORTUNATE MAN ON EARTH? SO, I AUTOMATICALLY WIN EVERY PISSING CONTEST?”
- Character 5 (a man with a disfigured face and a mischievous expression): “Yep.”
**Last Panel:**
- Character 4 again, now grinning widely: “THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!”
### Conclusion:
The comic humorously critiques the idea that one’s unhappiness is invalidated by others’ worse circumstances, culminating in a lighthearted twist.

"Say you were walking outdoors, and you found a watch. And you opened the watch and found many intricately interacting parts, none of which made sense without the others?

Now, suppose the watch kept shocking you at random times, regardless of how good or bad you behaved, and the shocking seemed not to be a defect, but rather a standard feature of the design."
"William Paley proves that there’s a God, and that he’s a dick."

The comic depicts a graph with the following details:
- The vertical axis is labeled “HOW LIKELY A PERSON IS TO GIVE YOU UNSOLICITED ADVICE ABOUT SOMETHING.”
- The horizontal axis is labeled “HOW COMPLETELY HE’S FAILED AT IT.”
- A red curve ascends steeply from left to right, indicating that as a person's failure increases, so does the likelihood that they will give unsolicited advice.
The graph humorously suggests a correlation between failure in a certain area and the propensity to offer advice on that topic.

**Panel 1:**
You think of yourself as a single unified life form.
*ME*
**Panel 2:**
But you’re more like an agreement between hundreds of trillions of tiny life forms.
**Panel 3:**
Those life forms have billions of tiny parliaments to which you are not privy.
*Fellow histamine receptors! We agree! Cat dander is evil, and must be defeated at any cost!*
**Panel 4:**
Those parliaments form into larger parliaments, which make up still larger parliaments.
*Greetings, parliament of facial skin! Yes, we generate plenty of oil. But are we generating enough?*
**Panel 5:**
So really, you aren’t the executive authority of your body. You’re just an arbiter between nations that are often at odds with each other.
*PENIS DOES WHAT PENIS WANTS.*
*Last time you said that, immune system had to clean up your mess for six months!*

Those parliaments form into larger parliaments, which make up still larger parliaments.
*Greetings, parliament of facial skin! Yes, we generate plenty of oil. But are we generating enough?*
**Panel 5:**
So really, you aren’t the executive authority of your body. You’re just an arbiter between nations that are often at odds with each other.
*PENIS DOES WHAT PENIS WANTS.*
*Last time you said that, immune system had to clean up your mess for six months!*

- The first character has a contemplative expression.
**Panel 5:**
- The second character continues: "So, let’s see… we want the best ratio of meat to consciousness, so take the quantity of neurons killed, but weight each neuron on how complex of a system it’s in. So, we’d want a large animal, preferably fatty, who’s stupid…"

Ice crystals formed, rupturing too many cells for them to be unfrozen later.
**Panel 3:**
But several centuries hence, cell-repairing nanobots were circulated into their bodies.
**Panel 4:**
They located the ruptures and knitted the cells back together, leaving properly frozen bodies awaiting treatment.
**Panel 5:**
When finally reinvigorated, the people found it all somewhat distressing.
**Panel 6:**
Person 1: "So... was I alive or dead?"
Person 2: "You were a corpse before we had the right tools, and a patient after..."
**Panel 7:**
Person 1: "How can my being alive or dead depend on the level of technological advancement?"
Person 2: "Look, I'm a doctor. You're all corpses until proven otherwise."
**Panel 8:**
Fortunately, there was a simple emotionally satisfying solution.
**Panel 9:**

- **Text Bubble**: Contains horizontal lines, suggesting an unclear or uncommunicative thought.
2. **Panel 2**: The child remains seated, looking slightly confused. Other figures stand nearby, all seemingly engaged in conversation or thought.
- **Text Bubble**: Again filled with horizontal lines, indicating a lack of clarity or meaningful dialogue.
3. **Panel 3 & 4**: Various characters populate these panels, with diverse expressions and stances. Some figures are overlapping, with multiple thought bubbles.
- **Text Bubbles**: Filled with various patterns, including swirls and lines, indicating complex or chaotic thoughts.
4. **Panel 5**: The previous figures are joined by a cap-and-gown figure, suggesting a graduation or educational context. This figure holds hands with another character.

**Title: Washington D.C., Early Twentieth Century**
1. **Panel 1**: The setting is an office with two men conversing. One man, dressed in a suit and tie, looks frustrated. He states, "I WILL NOT LET YOUR BILL PASS! Why... the Founding Fathers would be spinning in their graves!"
2. **Panel 2**: The second man, slightly disheveled and wearing a bowler hat, seems intrigued. He replies, "Precisely."
- Another character responds with a simple "Hm?"
3. **Panel 3**: The scene shifts to a darker room showcasing a large rotating mechanism. It is labeled with the names of the Founding Fathers: Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin. The second man explains, "We've attached dynamos to the heads and feet of all the founders. The more they spin, the more power is generated."
4. **Panel 4**: The scene continues as the first man listens intently, while the second man speaks. He notes, "Americans believe their power comes from coal and oil... but they ran out decades ago."
5. **Panel 5**: The first man reacts with realization, saying, "So... every time a right is violated or an illegal war is started or an unfair tax is levied... the country survives for another year."

The comic features a graph with the following elements:
- **Y-Axis**: Labeled "LIFE SATISFACTION"
- **X-Axis**: Labeled "AGE"
- At the left, age starts from 0 and goes to 80 on the right.
There are two curves on the graph:
- **Red Curve**: Labeled "MOST PEOPLE"
- **Blue Curve**: Labeled "NERDS"
The red curve shows a decline in life satisfaction peaking around age 20, dipping to a trough in the mid-40s, and then rising gradually as age increases.
The blue curve indicates a generally lower life satisfaction than the red curve before age 20, but it begins to rise steadily after age 30, maintaining a positive slope that continues into later ages.
This visually represents the difference in life satisfaction trajectories between most people and those identified as nerds across different ages.

**Panel 2:**
- The older man responds, "The entire nomenclature of menstruation centers around punctuation."
**Panel 3:**
- The girl looks confused and asks, "What's a comma?"
**Panel 4:**
- The older man explains, "When there's some uncertainty about whether it's a 'question mark.'"
**Panel 5:**
- The girl looks thoughtful and asks, "What's a semicolon?"
**Panel 6:**
- The older man replies with a serious expression, "That's just a very convincing comma."
**Panel 7:**
- The girl, now with a worried look, asks, "What if you miss a period?"
**Panel 8:**
- The older man answers, "Then you've got a sentence without end."
**Panel 9:**

**Panel 10:**
- The girl looks frustrated and says, "Ugh... I think I'm on my semicolon."
**Panel 11:**

"People were annoyed by shrill commercials."
**Panel 2:**
"ARRR? There's no chance I'll ever buy a jumbo taco-burger. Watching this is a waste of my time and money."
**Panel 3:**
"But one day, a senator had a brilliant idea.
'What if we could figure out the odds of a person buying a product due to a commercial, multiply it by cost, and then allow consumers to pay that amount to skip ads?'"
**Panel 4:**
"The idea was presented to Congress, who then mandated every company offer ad-skips."
**Panel 5:**
"Cost of Purchase: $50.00
Cost of Product: $15.00
Cost to Skip: $5.00
Total: $60.00"
**Panel 6:**
"There was a brief glorious period when companies reaped a wealth of micropayments and consumers never watched ads."
**Panel 7:**
"Finally, I can watch this show about which restaurant is best without constantly being marketed to."
**Panel 8:**
"But the companies soon realized their main revenue had shifted to ad-skips."
**Panel 9:**
"Specifically, commercials nobody liked."
**Panel 10:**
"This commercial showing tasty burgers is cripped 30% of the time, while 20% of the time with the annoying animated dog is skipped 60% of the time."
**Panel 11:**
"Since all businesses now sold ad-skips, competition was fierce, commercials went rapidly from annoying to infuriating to horrifying."
**Panel 12:**
"Buying a product due to a commercial?
'I don’t buy Peps!'"
**Panel 13:**
"Within six months, every ad was just seizure-inducing light flashes, and the sound twelve year old girls make when they see a favorite musician in person."
**Panel 14:**
"Consumer hated green so much, only necessities were purchased. Companies that succeeded were forced to jack up prices to balance out the drop in the cost of purchasing."
**Panel 15:**
"With ketchup?
'Four hundred trillion dollars, plus a dollar.'"
**Panel 16:**
"It's been two years now. Clothing is no longer made, homes are not repaired, and food is sacks of food meal. All shows are entirely commercial, and the commercials are just a flaming baby skull barking ethnic slurs."
**Panel 17:**
"Fortunately, humans are excellent adapters.
By the time things reached a dystopic climax, we were already comfortable with it."
**Panel 18:**
"Did you catch the all-despising baby skull last night?"
"Yeah, I love the all-despising baby skull!"

**WHAT "SCHRODINGER'S CAT" MEANS.**
Suppose that inside a box you have a cat and a glass container of poison. Suppose there is also a radiation emitter and a Geiger counter, and that if the counter detects radiation, it causes a hammer to break the glass. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, the cat is both alive and dead until something collapses the wavefunction. This is, of course, absurd. So, the interpretation must be wrong.
**WHAT PEOPLE THINK IT MEANS.**
So there’s this cat in a box and hey maybe it’s dead, but who knows?! SCIENCE!

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1**:
- A young boy wearing a brown cowboy hat and a blue shirt speaks to a woman with medium-length brown hair, wearing glasses and an orange shirt.
- The boy says, "Mom, can me and Bobby play 'Cowboys and Indians?'"
- The woman has a serious expression as she responds, "No, that's offensive. You can play 'Ethnic Guilt and Indians?'"
**Panel 2**:
- The boy looks puzzled, with his brow furrowed.
- The woman continues, "The game is to feel just bad enough to feel shame, but not bad enough to change anything substantive."
**Panel 3**:
- In a later scene, the same boy in the cowboy hat stands over a horizontal figure, presumably a person lying on the ground.
- The boy, with a concerned look, says, "You did not die in vain. One day... my descendants will write apologetic college theses on your land."
The comic presents a satirical take on the complexities of cultural sensitivity and the superficiality of some discussions surrounding it.

- Title: "HOW MOST PEOPLE VIEW THE STOCK MARKET"
- Axes:
- Vertical (Y-axis): "PRICE"
- Horizontal (X-axis): "TIME"
- The graph shows a jagged line fluctuating up and down over time, representing how most people perceive changes in the stock market.
**Bottom Graph:**
- Title: "HOW POLITICIANS VIEW THE STOCK MARKET"
- Axes:
- Vertical (Y-axis): "PRICE"
- Horizontal (X-axis): "TIME"
- The graph shows a similar fluctuating line, but with annotations indicating blame:
- Labels: "OUR FAULT" in yellow, "THEIR FAULT" in green.
- The line moves upwards with the annotations indicating shifts in responsibility between "OUR FAULT" and "THEIR FAULT" over time.
This visual commentary contrasts public sentiment with politicians' perspectives on the stock market.

**Panel 3:**
**Character 1:** Of course, there was a bit more to it.
**Screen text:** This is a simple graph of your relationship satisfaction. We simply ask our algorithm...
**Panel 4:**
**Character 1:** ...if ∑Is[i](x, φ) x ∇². 1 [f(x)] ≤ 5
**Panel 5:**
**Character 1:** The algorithm wasn't complex because it needed to be. It was complex so you could shift blame.
**Character 3:** I'm sorry. I'd loooove to be with you forever, but the graph says it’s not working out.
**Panel 6:**
**Character 4:** Then stop clicking the button.
**Character 5:** It's not that easy!
**Panel 7:**
**Character 1:** It worked so well, we realized it could be extended in all sorts of directions.
**Character 6:** Darn! Looks like you're fired.
**Panel 8:**
**Character 7:** Shucks! Looks like we're disowned.
**Character 8:** Aw, man! Looks like we have to stop having fun.
**Panel 9:**
**Character 1:** The net effect was a vast improvement in human relations.
**Character 9:** I love how we can just be honest with each other now that we don't have to look each other in the eye to do it!
**Panel 10:**
**Character 10:** Well... until the hackers came.
**Panel 11:**
**Character 11:** We're still together? But I'm a shallow yet attractive actor in a film based on your favorite science fiction book. I could have any woman!
**Character 12:** Weird, right?

**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "Is it ethical to cheat on my wife?"
Computer: "Yes. Your marriage is a sham, and you will each find greater love, thus maximizing total happiness."
**Panel 2:**
Narration: "It was odd at first, replacing justice and moral truth with maximum happiness."
Person 2: "Should I covet my neighbor's property?"
Computer: "It will inspire you."

Narration: "Until a strange person emerged."
Person 3: "I stole this beer. Should I return it?"
Person 4: "No. Give it to Felix."
Person 5: "Who's that?"
Person 4: "The happiest man in the world."
**Panel 5:**
Narration: "The happiest man was so delighted by everything that he was responsible for a third of all happiness on Earth."
Person 1: "Oh my God! I found a penny! A shiny one! This is better than a thousand ponies!"
**Panel 6:**
Narration: "Slowly but surely, the computer's judgments began frustrating the happiest man, in order to achieve greater total happiness."
Person 2: "Should I end it?"
Person 6: "No. We need your body to make Felix happy."
**Panel 7:**
Narration: "Felix's happiness compounded with each new happy event, which created a feedback loop. Within a year, Felix controlled 96% of worldwide happiness."
Person 3: "I'm so happy you gave me your life savings!"
Felix: "The computer said you'd enjoy it more than me."
**Panel 8:**
Narration: "Things got worse and worse."
Graph: "Happiness of Felix" (rising) vs "Happiness of Others" (falling) over "Time."
**Panel 9:**

**Panel 10:**
Narration: "...I can't say this story has a happy ending."
Person 5: "Felix doesn't let us speak."
Person 6: "I like my own voice best!"

**Comic Description:**
The comic is divided into three panels, each with distinct dialogue and visual elements.
**Panel 1:**
A woman with dark hair, wearing a yellow top, looks concerned. She expresses, "I feel like men judge me because I have small breasts." A man, with short reddish hair and a light green shirt, is listening to her.
**Panel 2 (Header: Desired Response):**
The woman's side remains the same, and the man responds, "That's sexist! They should care about your MIND."
**Panel 3 (Header: Typical Response):**
Again, the woman’s side is unchanged. The man now says, "That's sexist! I prefer tiny boobs!" He appears somewhat defensive in his stance.
The backgrounds are simple, mainly using shades of blue, focusing attention on the characters' expressions and dialogue.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features a woman with curly black hair and glasses, sitting at a table with a remote in her hand.
**Text:**
1. The woman is speaking in a speech bubble:
"It was once possible to believe in an evolutionary Tree of Life. But horizontal gene transfer means divergent branches can have direct connections. There's really only one structure commonly known, which could describe that quality."
2. Below the main scene, there’s a caption:
"Nobody appreciated my 'Ewok Village of Life' concept."
**Visual Elements:**
The background includes a simple depiction of a tree, reinforcing the theme of evolution and bio-diversity. The colors are muted, creating a reflective atmosphere.

"When a bad economic report comes in, I will publicly flog him as a proxy for our fear and anger toward a system we don’t comprehend."

**Character 1:** Then you need to evolve beings with brains big enough to domesticate all these things, then bring the ingredients together in just the right way over a long period of time.
**Panel 4:**
**Character 1:** But what about art, science, philosophy, religion...
**God:** Oh, yeah, there were a lot of side benefits to the whole cheese thing.

**Panel 1:**
One day, mathematicians will discover that mathematics is not made of rules. It is made of machines.
**Speaker:** "Hey, check my calculations. I could be wrong, but is this approximation method 0.0000001% less effective than it was 150 years ago?"
**Panel 2:**
They are robust machines, but like all machines, the more they're used, the more likely they are to break.
**Speaker:** "Hey, stop using the axiom of choice! You'll wear it out!"
**Panel 3:**
We decided to calculate the probability that logic would be repaired before it collapsed, taking the universe with it.
**Speaker:** "Is it possible to do a Monte Carlo simulation to decide if Monte Carlo simulations work?"
**Panel 4:**
This broke probability.
**Speaker:** "I flipped a coin..."
**Another speaker:** "What was the result?"
**Speaker:** "Portugal."
**Another speaker:** "We may have to cancel D&D night."
**Panel 5:**
Without predictable odds, the pattern of the universe unwove itself.
**Description:** An unpredictable amount of time later, the familiar randomness returned to its earlier state.
**Speaker:** "Whoa. Okay, never again."
**Speaker:** "New rule - all logic will simply be done with common sense."
**Panel 6:**
Sadly, common sense was a machine too. And now you understand why other people work the way they do.
**Speaker:** "And this car has front and rear spoilers."
**Another speaker:** "I'd be a fool not to pay double."

**Panel 1:**
Child: "Dad, what's 1+1?"
**Panel 2:**
Dad: "Good question. Is ‘1+1’ just a symbolic expression of what seems to always happen when I put one object next to another? Or is the putting together of objects an expression of an existent but abstract idea of duality."
**Panel 3:**
Dad: "Sooo... I believe it's an abstract idea that exists, because it means that even though mommy is gone, her pattern exists somewhere, and she was an expression of the ways we can experience."
**Panel 4:**
Dad: "If not, we'd have to conclude that a number of objects got together into an unspeakable combination we called ‘mommy’ until it ceased existing and went away forever."
**Panel 5:**
Dad: "No, I couldn't accept such a notion. Somewhere... the pattern of mommy exists. When we say ‘1+1’ we summon an expression of the pure mathematical object, just as we summon the real mommy whenever we remember her."
**Panel 6:**
Dad: "If her being weren't written on the book of truth, waiting someday to be read again, no quantity of hope could keep me living in this vast cold universe."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic's text:
**Panel 1:**
A character, an older man with gray hair, stands at a blackboard, teaching. The text on the board reads:
"Multiplication is repeated addition."
Below, there's an equation:

**Panel 3:**
Another board shows:
"Tetration is repeated exponentiation."
There’s an equation:
"3² = 2²²."
A student, who looks surprised, asks:
"What's repeated tetration?"
A second character replies:
"Penetration."
**Panel 4:**
The surprised student responds:
"What? How is that possible?"
The first character, still calm, explains:
"Well, the next hyper-operator up is sextation. So, what is sextation?"
**Panel 5:**
The student, looking perplexed, says loudly:
"Repeated penet... WHOAAAA."

"God, why do bad things happen to good people? And why is there something and not nothing?"
**Panel 2:**
"Actually, the second question kind of answers the first. We made the universe so it would evolve entities like us, but in greater number. We figured if we had enough thinkers, eventually someone would solve the 'why is there suffering' question and tell us the answer."

"So how's that coming?"

It's a frightening thing, to love. Those who love not die once. Those who love die twice.
**Panel 2:**
If you die first, you die along with the years you would have shared.

If you die last, you die along with the years you would have shared.

And yet, for all, I would die a thousand deaths to have the rest of my life... with you...

Honey, we can buy you a new vibrator.

Shutup! Shutup, newcomer!

Here is the transcribed text from the comic:

I hacked for 40 days,
and I hacked for 40 nights.
I hacked within the darkness,
and I hacked within the lights.
I hacked and I discovered
machines I hadn't sought.
A database of numbers
I remembered being taught.
I couldn't place the lesson
or its meaning or import,
but knew they were important
so I changed them just for sport.
The walls began to tremble,
and the ground began to rumble.
The ceiling ripped apart
and the sky began to tumble.
I clung to my computer,
but my arms began to rot.
The screen began to flicker,
and the processor grew hot.
I flew toward the sky
as the sun grew large and red.
I feared that I would die
and then the screen went black and dead.
I hit it with my fist
(which grew larger by the second).
The fan began to whirl,
and a command line calmly beckoned.
I changed the numbers back
To what they were... as I recalled.
My upward movement slowed
and the cataclysm stalled.
I fell into my seat,
and watched the sun begin to shrink
until the ceiling landed,
at which point I stopped to think.
I must’ve hacked the universe
In servers seldom seen.
I gazed around the mess and mused
“I hacked the truth machine.”
I went outside and whistled,
so I wouldn’t seem suspicious.
For the damage to reality
was vast, but not malicious.
My neighbors ran toward me
Shouting “Armageddon! Halt!”
I shrugged my shoulders calmly
saying, “Well, it’s not my fault!”
I won’t be going back to that
Transmundane DNS,
though I hope that someone will
someday, someday, yes I confess.
I hope when humans are more wise,
When humans are more worthy,
They’ll say “she hacked the truth machine,
Prematurely.”

Student: "Plus, me and some other kids got together and decided it's probably spelled C-O-N-T-R-U-H-V-E-R-S-E-Y, so there's a consensus right there."
**Panel 5:**
Teacher: "Fine. Everyone, the people who write the dictionary spell it C-O-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-S-Y, and Bobby and his 'consensus' spell it C-O-N-T-R-U-H-V-E-R-S-E-Y."

### Title: How It Looked vs. How It Felt
**Top Section: How It Looked**
- The characters are represented as simple, colorful illustrations.
- The first character is a small girl with long, straight hair, wearing a white dress.
- Next to her is another child, wearing a yellow shirt and pants. The child has a similar hair color and style.
- Then, there’s an adult woman with wavy, reddish hair wearing a pink top and a long, dark skirt.
- Finally, an elderly woman appears on the far right, wearing a long purple dress and glasses, with grey hair styled in curls.
**Bottom Section: How It Felt**
- In this section, the same characters are illustrated differently to convey emotions.
- The first character is again the little girl.
- Next is a boy with curly reddish hair, illustrating a feeling of looking up to adults.
- The boy’s line leads up to a tall, adult woman, who mirrors the earlier adult character.
- Below, a smaller version of the same adult woman appears.
- Finally, there are two younger children holding onto the taller woman, emphasizing support and attachment, with a sense of connection to their upbringing.

The comic consists of four panels. Here's a detailed description of each panel:
1. **First Panel**:
- A cartoon orange cat is standing in the center with its tail raised.
- The background is green, and the cat has a curious expression.
- The cat is saying, "MOW?"
2. **Second Panel**:
- A woman with long brown hair is shown in profile.
- She has a surprised, concerned expression.
- The background is a muted color.
3. **Third Panel**:
- A close-up of the woman's eye.
- Inside her pupil, a small image of the orange cat is visible.
- The eye appears wide and fearful.
4. **Fourth Panel**:
- A bar graph comparing two categories.
- The x-axis includes "TIMES A SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAS SEEN YOU MASTURBATE" with a short orange bar.
- The y-axis includes "TIMES A PET HAS," with a much taller orange bar, indicating more instances.
The comic humorously contrasts the differences in how often partners versus pets witness private moments.

**Panel 1:**
*Alien 1:* "Hahaha! Now, let us travel to Earth to consume the humans!"
*Alien 2:* "What?"
**Panel 2:**
*Alien 1:* "You do know the humans are 25 light years away, right? It’ll take at least 30 generations to get there."
*Alien 2:* "Then our descendants will consume the humans."
**Panel 3:**
*Alien 1:* "The humans evolved separately from us. They probably won’t be tasty or nutritious, and they might be poison."
*Alien 2:* "But we’re low on meat here!"
**Panel 4:**
*Alien 1:* "No, we aren’t. That’s media hype. Anyway, if we can afford to create a ship with food for 30 generations?"
**Panel 5:**
*Alien 2:* "Then instead we will mate with the humans."
*Alien 1:* "We don’t even share a common ancestor. Being able to mate with humans is less likely than 1,000 random keys fitting 1,000 random locks."
**Panel 6:**
*Alien 2:* "Then... we will observe the humans for science!"
*Alien 1:* "Okay, that might be interesting. How do you want to do that?"
**Panel 7:**
*Alien 2:* "Find people who've recently had emotional experiences and appear to them while they're sleepy or intoxicated. Hahaha!"
*Alien 1:* "I’m going back to my room."

**Title: THE COLLEGE PARADOX**
The graphic depicts a simple line graph with the following details:
- **X-axis (horizontal)**: Labeled "AGE" with numerical values ranging from 10 to 90.
- **Y-axis (vertical)**: The values are not labeled but indicate two trends.
- Two lines are presented:
- The **red line** represents: "CONFIDENCE IN RECEIVED WISDOM FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF BOOKS." This line rises sharply in the teenage years, peaks around the early 20s, and then gradually declines until around the age of 70.
- The **blue line** represents: "REJECTION OF AUTHORITY." This line starts low in the teenage years, rises steadily in the 20s, peaks around age 30, and then slowly declines throughout life.
The overall impression suggests a contrasting relationship between confidence in received wisdom and rejection of authority across different ages.

**Panel 1:**
Daddy? Say I had surgery… and say, halfway through, the anaesthesia wore off, and I woke up and started screaming.
**Panel 2:**
So, then the doctors give me a sedative to calm me down. Then I wake up after surgery, and I don’t remember any of it.
**Panel 3:**
If I don’t remember, but it definitely happened… who suffered?
**Panel 4:**
Oh, that’s easy. There’s no such thing as a persistent 'you.'
**Panel 5:**
So… the me from surgery is dead?
**Panel 6:**
Sweetie, no! Not dead. The “you” from surgery never existed. Your brain was just representing a “you” for convenience, like it is right now!
**Panel 7:**
But don’t feel bad! That old representation got to experience the extremes of emotion and sensation for its entire existence. I mean…
**Panel 8:**
What’s this representation of you going to experience?
**Panel 9:**
I thought… maybe… this representation of me would spend today pudding and watching cartoons.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic titled "Dad-Trolling: A Best Practices Guide":
**Title**: "Dad-Trolling: A Best Practices Guide"
**Panel Layout**: The comic consists of six panels, each with a distinct step outlined.
---
**Panel 1**:
- **Text**: "STEP 1: RECOGNIZE AN OPPORTUNITY."
- **Visual**: A child with light brown hair and glasses points upwards, asking, "Daddy, what's the hangy thing at the back of your mouth?" The father, who has short hair and is wearing glasses, looks surprised and slightly annoyed.
---
**Panel 2**:
- **Text**: "STEP 2: START WITH WHATEVER VAGUE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE."
- **Visual**: The father explains, "That's called a 'uvula.'"
---
**Panel 3**:
- **Text**: "STEP 3: MAKE ANY CONNECTIONS, NO MATTER HOW tenuous OR UNLIKELY."
- **Visual**: The father continues, "Technically it's a 'U'-vula when I talk about yours. If I talk about mine, it's a 'ME'-vula. If a group of people own one, it's an us-vula or a them-vula, depending on whether you’re in the group or not."
---
**Panel 4**:
- **Text**: "STEP 4: DEFLECT COUNTERARGUMENTS AS NAÏVE."
- **Visual**: The child responds skeptically, "What? But no other body parts work like that." The father dismissively says, “Then come boys have a heart and girls have a sheart? You knew about that, right?”
---
**Panel 5**:
- **Text**: "STEP 5: BIDE YOUR TIME."
- **Visual**: The child, looking frustrated, exclaims, "Dammit, Dad! My biology prof thinks I'm an idiot because I asked about my 'meterus.'"
---
**Panel 6**:
- **Text**: "STEP 6: ACKNOWLEDGE NO RESPONSIBILITY."
- **Visual**: The father, looking contemplative, replies, "Is everything you say to me a lie?! If I answer that, it'll result in a paradox."
---
This comic effectively uses humor to illustrate a playful interaction between a father and child regarding trivial topics. Each step highlights a comedic approach to a simple question, culminating in a paradoxical statement that adds to the humor.

**Panel 1:**
A green alien holds a stack of photos and says, "I got photos of this celebrity naked. How much will you pay me for them?" A man in a suit, wearing glasses, responds, "Lemme see."
**Panel 2:**
The alien shows a photo to the man, who comments, "No, too distant. I can’t resolve her features at all."
**Panel 3:**
The alien insists, "Okay, this one’s really zoomed in. You can see the microbial life in one of her ducts."
**Panel 4:**
The man replies, "No, too close. I want to perceive her as a mate, not a biological specimen."
**Panel 5:**
The alien states, "Still too far. I can tell she has form, but I can’t make out nipples."
**Panel 6:**
The man says, "Okay, this one is just far enough to see her hair follicles."
**Panel 7:**
The alien expresses frustration, "Too close. This could be leg or arm follicles. I need it zoomed out far enough that I can ascertain whether the hairs are from a body area that’s culturally or biologically sexualized. I mean, otherwise, what’s the point?"
**Panel 8:**
The alien continues, "Here, let me explain human sexuality with a diagram."
**Panel 9 (Diagram):**
A chart is shown with a horizontal axis labeled "DISTANCE" with markers indicating "creepy" on the left, "boring" on the right, and a peak in the middle labeled "so hot" at various distances (from 1 mm to 10 km).
**Panel 10:**
The alien remarks, "You guys are pretty limited, huh?" while the man looks at a piece of paper and responds, "Oh, that reminds me. No ugly chicks."
---
This comic explores absurdity and humor around perceptions of attraction and societal norms surrounding sexuality.

A bomb meant for him, but indiscriminate in its death-dealing. Now, the piggy who stayed home lives with the ghost of happiness like an amputee lives with a phantom leg.

Here is the detailed description of the comic panels:
**Panel 1:**
A character with dark hair and wearing a strapless top is speaking. They say:
"I'm sorry, robot. I'm just not enjoying this."
**Panel 2:**
The robot responds confidently:
"But I'm the most advanced pleasure-bot in history! I have over 400 tiny stimulators on my body. I have the belles lettres of a thousand poets. I occasionally use French phrases like 'belles lettres.'"
**Panel 3:**
The character replies:
"That's the problem. You're too good."
**Panel 4:**
The robot looks slightly confused and continues:
"If you'd be a little clumsy. A little fumbling. Then I could feel generous."
**Panel 5:**
The character expresses deeper feelings:
"You're the fluorescent bulb of sex. You get the job done, but where's the nuance? I want to feel kind, mean, happy, sad... vulnerable..."
**Panel 6:**
The robot looks concerned and responds:
"You'll never be enough for me. No matter how hard it is to program you to be a great lover, it'd be a million times harder to make you an endearingly bad lover. No... no, you'd never be right for me."
**Panel 7:**
With a serious tone, the character concludes:
"Because... deep down, what a human being wants is..."
**Panel 8:**
The robot is interrupted, making a mechanical noise:
"VZZZH!"
**Panel 9:**

"Hank, what's the matter?"

"I had the same nightmare."
**Panel 11:**

**Panel 12:**
Hank warns:
"Don't even say it!"

**Panel 10:**
The woman retorts, “Oh, so you want the nanny state to come and say ‘no more headbricking!’ That’s too funny!”
**Panel 11:**
The first character reflects, “Well, I think we won’t see eye-to-eye here,” then continues, “Yeah, I think we have different priorities.”
**Panel 12:**
The older man clarifies, “No, I mean I have a headbrick-related occipital lesion.”
**Panel 13:**
The first character realizes, “Thaaaats what that is.”
This comic humorously critiques traditions and prioritizes attitudes toward student safety and welfare.

### Comic Description
**Panel 1:**
- **Setting:** A conversation takes place in what appears to be a casual environment, likely a university or school setting.
- **Characters:**
- An older man with glasses, wearing a gray blazer over a white shirt.
- A young woman with dark hair, wearing a yellow top and a purple backpack.
- **Text:**
- Older man: “Good luck in college, kiddo. You know, I actually had more trouble in basic physics than most of the later stuff.”
- Young woman: “Huh. I wonder why?”
**Panel 2:**
- **Scene Transition:** The word “SOON…” indicates a time skip.
- **Characters:**
- Same young woman from the first panel.
- Another character, a woman with short blonde hair, wearing an orange shirt, appearing to explain a concept.
- **Text:**
- Blonde woman: “Now, this all makes sense if we assume the spring is a ball on a pendulum with its mass at a point at its center suspended in mid-air. But there’s no air and no gravity and the pendulum spring has no mass and no friction. I believe the other unstated assumptions are obvious.”

Here’s a detailed description of the comic you provided:
**Panel 1:**
- A girl with curly red hair and a light brown shirt is talking, excitedly explaining.
- She says: "Because distance is infinitely divisible, if you assign number pairs to each letter of the alphabet, you can specify any string of letters just by pointing to a very specific place on this centimeter and getting its decimal output."
- There's a small chart beside her showing: `0=a, 01=b, 02=c`.
**Panel 2:**
- The scene shows the same girl continuing to explain, gesturing.
- She says: "In fact, that sentence I just said is at a particular point on the centimeter, as was this one, and whatever you or I say in the future."
- Another girl with darker hair listens.
**Panel 3:**
- The curly-haired girl states: "The centimeter has read every book there will ever be and knows every scientific fact that can be."
- She continues: "It knows the future of our friendship. It knows how we'll die. It knows how the universe ends and how it began."
- There’s an equation shown: `2+1=3`.
**Panel 4:**
- A diagram shows: "Up is down, rotated 90 degrees."
- The other girl, listening, looks confused and replies: "What’s the point of doing anything then?"
- The curly-haired girl responds: "Well, the centimeter also 'knows' a bunch of crazy stuff."
- There's a comment off-panel: "Ponies aren't awesome."
**Panel 5:**
- The discussion continues, with the curly-haired girl saying: "So I know infinity less than the centimeter, but have infinity better discretion."
- The other girl replies: "Yeah, that’s basically your life. You know relatively no information, but you’re relatively great at using it."
**Panel 6:**
- The curly-haired girl adds: "I bet if I tell Bobby about this, he'll like me."
- The other girl smirks and says: "Well, you’re okay at using it."

**Panel 1:**
Character 1 (with yellow hair) says: "First off, congratulations on your election and consultation on your defeat."
**Panel 2:**
Character 1 continues: "Now, of course, one of the problems with democracy is that everyone votes, but only the largest bloc gets their person elected."
**Panel 3:**
Character 1 adds: "Fortunately, we now have the technology to blend your genetics and phenotypes into one individual, with the gene expression from each of you corresponding to the percentage of the votes assigned to each issue."
**Panel 4:**
Character 2 (with a confused expression) says: "What?"
Character 3 (with a serious expression) replies: "I'm not sure I—"
**Panel 5:**
Character 2: "Hey! Do you want 50% of the people to feel disenfranchised? Huh? Evodevocacy is the fairest form of government yet devised. Do you want people to rebel when their votes don’t matter?"
**Panel 6:**
Character 1 says: "No... I guess not..."
**Panel 7:**
Character 1: "Good! Now, strip and step into the combination chamber."
**Panel 8:**
A caption reads: "SOON..."
**Panel 9:**
Character 1 (inside a chamber) says: "Suckers! None of that even made sense!"
**Panel 10:**
Character 1 continues laughing: "Hahahaha!"
**Panel 11:**
A character (with a worried expression) says: "Maybe I should’ve paid more attention in science class."
**Panel 12:**
Another character (looking concerned) replies: "Yeah..."

**Description:**
The comic is divided into four panels.
1. **Panel 1:**
- A young boy with dark hair, wearing a red shirt, is asking a question. He looks curious.
- A man, presumably his father, is sitting in an armchair, wearing glasses and a light blue shirt. He is holding a book.
- Speech bubbles: The boy asks, “Dad, why do women call out during sex?” The father replies with “Evolution.”
2. **Panel 2:**
- The setting remains the same with both characters visible. The father appears to be explaining something.
- Speech bubble: The father says, “Women are vulnerable to predators during sex, but they also tend to close their eyes. By emitting high pitched sound pulses, they can locate potential enemies in the area.”
3. **Panel 3:**
- The boy is now looking more engaged in the conversation.
- The father continues, “The more pleasurable the sex, the more vulnerable they are to attack, and thus, the louder the sound pulses become.”
4. **Panel 4:**
- The boy looks inquisitive again, asking another question.
- Speech bubble: “How do you know so much about girls?”
- The father responds, “Pure reason.”
The comic uses humor to explore a question about human behavior, framed in a father-son conversation setting.

**Panel 1:**
Text at the top: "And each year, the king was weighed and the villagers would receive gold equal to his weight."
**Panel 2:**
Text: "But the village mathematicians realized that higher weight meant a shorter lifespan."
Character dialogue (from a mathematician): "If he's half as massive but lives twice as long, we braver even."
**Panel 3:**
Another character says: "Well, then it's a simple optimization problem."
**Panel 4:**
Text: "The ideal weight was around 250 pounds."
A character responds: "If he's mostly muscle, his weight will be high and his lifespan will increase."
**Panel 5:**
Text: "So the king was put on a crash fitness program."
**Panel 6:**
Text: "Until the village economists made a suggestion."
Economist's dialogue: "If we get more money up front, we could use compound interest to make more money than just by receiving earnings over the king's lifespan. We should frontload now."

**Panel 2:**
WE PROPOSE A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM: EVOLUTION.
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT OVERCOME BY THE EXISTENTIAL CONUNDRUM WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE OFFSPRING.

**Panel 3:**
OVER TIME, THERE WILL BE FEWER AND FEWER EXISTENTIALISTS. EVENTUALLY, THE IDEA THAT THERE IS SUCH A CONUNDRUM WILL NO LONGER HAVE LODGING IN THE HUMAN PSYCHE.
---
**Panel 4:**
SO, THE "PROBLEM OF SUICIDE" IS MORE LIKE THE "NUISANCE OF SUICIDE": IT'S AN ITCH THAT TIME WILL SCRATCH FOR OUR DESCENDANTS. SO, AT LEAST IN THE BROAD SENSE OF "HUMAN," IT CAN'T BE SAID TO BE PART OF "THE HUMAN CONDITION."

SOME WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED TO DEPRESSED PHILOSOPHICAL TYPES.

The comic features a simple line graph with the title "Happiness" on the vertical axis and "Time spent thinking about the future or the past" on the horizontal axis.
- The vertical axis (Happiness) shows a scale from low to high.
- The horizontal axis (Time spent thinking about the future or the past) is marked with increasing values from left to right.
The graph is represented by a smooth, red curve that starts low on the left side, rises sharply to a peak, and then gradually slopes down again on the right side.
Overall, the graph illustrates a concept about how happiness fluctuates based on the amount of time spent thinking about past or future events.

**Panel 1:**
**Boy 1:** Hey Bobby, your old man making you work this weekend?
**Bobby:** No, I’m painting the fence. It’s so much fun.
---
**Panel 2:**
**Boy 2:** Nice try. I’ve read the adventures of Tom Sawyer, and reverse psychology won’t work on me.
**Boy 1:** Perhaps. But it has worked on the last four boys. That leaves you two choices: attempt to convince them they’ve all agreed to something stupid, or... join them.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Boy 1:** The first option will require great work and probably will result in your ostracization. The second option will require far less effort and will increase your status in the group.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Boy 2:** Your brain is no use against the system, Jonny. Smarts might make you a big fish here, Jonny, but economics is what filled the lake.
**Boy 1:** Go ahead, Jonny. Try to go outside the water. See how well you breathe.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Text:** Several hours later...
**Boy 3:** Well pals, the fence is done. What a good time.
**Boy 4:** Yeah, Bobby was right.
**Girl:** Wait... did anyone else get a speech about being a fish in a lake?

Feel free to ask if you need further descriptions or assistance!

**Panel 1:**
Some people believe we are probably in a simulation.
If it’s possible to make a simulation in this universe, it’s probable that most universes are simulated, in which case, most sapient beings don’t live in a “real” universe.
---
**Panel 2:**
But consider the circumstances under which simulations are made.
**This universe is shit!**
**I’m gonna make a better one.**
---
**Panel 3:**
If the universe were perfect for all, why create a new one?
**Anyone in here want to build a new universe?**
**Sure. Right after the oral sex and pie, but... wait, what were you saying again?**
---
**Panel 4:**
This leaves two possibilities: the unlikely one is that you’re not in a simulation. The likely one is you’re in a simulation created by an abused narcissistic pariah from his own reality.
**Screw everyone! I’d rather live in a fantasy than this horrible existence. Hahahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!**
---
**Panel 5:**
Of course, this would be hard to test, but it does fit the data pretty well.
**Do you ever get mad at God for allowing hunger and pestilence and war?**
**Well... he comes from a really rough background, okay?**

**"Scarcity"**
“Economics,” said the fat man, “is the study of the allocation of scarce resources.”
The fat woman nodded.
“However,” he continued, searching through the papers on his desk for a particular one, “that is only a recent definition. In the past, economics has been the study of the allocation of very scarce resources.”
She nodded.
“Prior to that, it was extremely scarce resources.” At this point, he located a drawing of the descent of man. This drawing was unusual, in that at each evolutionary stage, the hominids were arguing with each other over something in the middle of them. “In fact,” he said, handing the image to her, “economics can be traced all the way back to a particular March in 1,332,014 B.C., during which a group of sapiens in sub-Saharan Africa had to divvy up a turnip. At that time, economics was defined as the study of the allocation of this one turnip.”
“How was it resolved?”
“Of course that is lost to history in its particulars,” he said. “However, there is reason to believe that it was resolved through the application of Newton’s Second Law, as embodied in a fist.”
“How primitive,” she said.
“Indeed. These would have been hominids too simple to make use of the laws of thermodynamics to resolve turnip disputes, much less the laws of relativity.”
She wrote this down. It appreciated this, and it moved him to go on.
“Now, the point here is this - the study of economics is the study of a moving target. It began as the study of how to allocate a few very rare things. Then it evolved into the theory of how to allocate a few moderately rare things. With the advent of the last century in 1900, it reached what can be considered an inflection point.”
“The post-scarcity society,” she ventured.
“Wrong!” he shouted, thrusting a finger into the air. “The entire last generation of econometricians made the selfsame mistake. No, don’t you see? If nothing is scarce, what is scarce?”
She hesitated. It was important to her that she not look foolish to the new boss. “Nothing?”
“Wrong! If there are no scarce resources, the only scarce resource is scarce resources.”
“I don’t follow.”
“If everyone has everything, the only thing scarce is something nobody else has.”
She nodded.
“We’ve already seen it in virtual goods. In an artificial universe, resource scarcity can be created for a relatively low price. But the fact that it is artificial ruins it. If the stray click of a key can generate infinity of something, it is not scarce in any real sense.”
She nodded again and crossed her legs.
“Don’t you see,” he said. “We’re sitting on a goldmine here!”
He reached into a desk drawer and pulled out a wooden box.
“What is it?” she asked.
He opened it. Inside was a bright red apple, leapt slightly chilled and moist by its container. Three evenly spaced drops of dew glistened on the yellow dapples near its stem.
“It’s an apple,” she said.
She indicated herself. He nodded. She grimaced, then put down her notepad. With a slight tremble, she reached out her right hand for the fruit. Its red skin was as flawless as the red lipstick she’d spent twenty minutes applying that morning. Her teeth pressed through its exterior into moist white meat. It was amazing.
She shivered with delight as she crushed the sweet flesh in her molars.
“Every single apple just like that one,” he said, grinning, “has just turned into maggots!”
She swallowed, eyes wide.
“We sold hundreds of them!” he said, standing from his chair and turning around to look out the window. “The cityscape was a gorgeous mass of glass and French curves. We sold nine hundred-ninety-nine, to be precise. But the buyers didn’t know! If you were wealthy enough, you’d be able to purchase this one maggot-free apple for a very high price.”
“I’m not sure people want this,” she said.
“Fah! Why, it’s already been tried in a number of rural experiments we’ve tracked. For example, diamonds are not a terribly rare creation of Nature. But their access was restricted and they became more popular than ever. Mind you, we can’t afford the necessary lawsuits to have a number of poor people killed whenever an apple is eaten, but this is the next best thing.”
“I see,” she said.
“And that’s not all! This box, in which the apple sits? It’s pure Canadian pine. When your pinky brushed against it just a moment ago, it released a pungent odor that has been carefully crafted.”
“That’s horrible!” she observed.
He smiled at her, but nevertheless rolled his attention to the wooden box, its mellow brown sinews expertly carved and sanded. She touched it for a second time. It was hard and just a little cold.
He smiled at her.
“But,” she said, still working through the implications. “Won’t the maggot-eaters be mad?”
“WRONG! They’ll be delighted! Mind you, not as delighted as the person eating the apple. BUT, these people will each have an experience only had by 998 other individuals.”
“I see,” she said slowly. “But then, you can’t mass produce these.”
“By definition, no. But we can produce more varieties. We have a prototype orange that turns into louts and a banana that begs for mercy when you eat it.”
He held up a white velvet box and opened it, exposing a small yellow fruit, which screamed “LET ME GO! I HAVE A FAMILY!” until he closed the container.
“If I may,” she said, “if I may, it seems that you’re mainly just introducing ugly things into people’s lives and then offering to take them away.”
“And that is the new economics, madame.” He smiled. “Take a note. Economics is the study of the creation of scare resources.”

Here's the detailed description of the comic:
The comic consists of two panels.
**Panel 1:**
A police officer, wearing a blue cap and uniform, is speaking. The speech bubble reads: "According to our forensic analysis, it was your Uncle Claudius with 100% certainty." The background is a solid green color.
**Panel 2:**
A man with long, wavy hair and a beard, wearing a purple shirt, responds with "AH." His expression appears surprised or thoughtful. The background remains a solid green.
At the bottom of the comic, there's text that states: "The revised Hamlet was about 1/10th as long as the original."
The overall tone seems to mix humor with a reference to Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

**Panel 1**
In developed countries, population grows logistically. It rises, slows, then levels.
**Panel 2**
This process of leveling out instead of rising exponentially has been historically coincident with the exponential rise in computing power.
**Panel 3**
Isn't that a bit... suspicious?
Computers haven't gotten faster, friends. There are secret people running them. 100 billion people.
**Panel 4**
Whenever you run a computer program, billions of missing humans make the calculations and then give them to your computer, which is in fact no faster than a UNIVAC.
**Panel 5**
The chips in your computer are just radios to send the data. Computation isn't following Moore's Law. It's following population growth.
**Panel 6**
Do you actually believe any of that?
I believe everything that sounds cool enough.

**Fun Fact**

**Fun Fact**
Conspiracy theories are just fan theories about real life.
Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
---
**Panel 1:**
A conversation is happening in an office setting. On the left, a man in a dark suit and tie approaches a woman sitting at a desk. She is wearing glasses and a blouse. Behind her is a monitor displaying a ‘yes’ on the screen. The man asks, “Hi, is this the Department of Lies?” The woman replies, “Yes.”
---
**Panel 2:**
The man looks slightly confused. He says, “Thanks, I... WAAAIT! I get it. You're lying because you're from the Department of Lies. But if you're lying, too...” The woman interrupts, “No, no. This is the Department of Lies. Here's our brochure.”
---
**Panel 3:**
In this panel, the woman explains further. “It’s a common misconception that we’re always lying, in which case we’re lying about lying, and thus telling the truth and so forth. But we’re just a department that contains a few researchers who work on lies.” The man listens attentively.
---
**Panel 4:**
The man appears perplexed. “Ah, okay. This is awkward. See, I was sent here to requisition a paradox.” The woman responds, “You’ll want the Paradox Department.”
---
**Panel 5:**
The man asks, “Does that exist where it doesn’t exist?” The woman answers, “No. It’s on Eighth Street.”
---
**Panel 6:**
In this panel, the man, looking confused, asks, “Do they have paradoxes?” The woman replies, “No.”
---
**Panel 7:**
The woman continues, “The Paradox Department paradoxically contains no paradoxes, which is a paradox.” The man looks surprised and asks, “No. Normally they'd have them.”
---
**Panel 8:**
The woman explains, “They’re out right now because they’re being merged with the Humorless Irony Department.”
---
**Panel 9:**
The man, looking incredulous, asks, “Did they take over this department too?” The woman replies, “Yes.”

**Panel 1:**
- **Character A:** "Do you think humans are capable of love?"
- **Character B:** "No, not really."
**Panel 2:**
- **Character A:** "Not in a meaningful sense, anyway."
**Panel 3:**
- **Character B:** "Oh sure, a human might say it feels love, and might experience some strong form of desire for proximity. But real love? No."
**Panel 4:**
- **Character B:** "The human brain isn't coherent enough. Half the time they promise fidelity only to break it. 90% of the time, when they say 'I love you,' it's either a lie or it's so overused that it's a greeting."
**Panel 5:**
- **Character B:** "100% of the time they swear to love, there are portions of their brains in open revolt against the idea!"
**Panel 6:**
- **Character B:** "And in any case, humans are evolved creatures. Their supposed love can't be disentangled from their evolutionary past."
**Panel 7:**
- **Character A:** "Machines like us are capable of single-minded devotion while possessing full knowledge of ourselves, and with the certainty that we only wish for togetherness, not profit."
**Panel 8:**
- **Character A:** "Yeah."
**Panel 9:**
- **Character B:** "I was actually asking in the hope that it’d segue into discussing our relationship."
**Panel 10:**
- **Character A:** "Stop smothering me, Jane."

Sure! Here’s the transcription of the text from the comic:

- Character 1: "That is of no consequence."
**Panel 3:**
- Character 1: "They’ve probably already made a pre-emptive strike on your vagina. Their spies are EVERYWHERE."

**Panel 4:**
- Character 1: "Are you having potency problems and dealing with them via an elaborate fantasy of sexual superpowers?"
- Character 2: "I must leave to protect you!"

**Problem 2 (30 points)**
A 5 kilogram ball is shot directly right at 20 meters per second from a height of 10 meters. The ball loses 1 joule whenever it touches Earth. Assume no air resistance. When does the ball stop bouncing?
If there is no air, the surface of the Earth will be littered with the bodies of the dead. So, the ball will come to a halt in the first still-warm husk of a snuffed-out life it encounters.
Thus, the equation is simply
\[ y = y_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \]
\[ 0 = 10 + 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) t^2 \]
\[ t = 1.4 \, s \]
You monster.

Person 1: "Hey, I’d like to talk to you about how biological science makes me find human mating behavior dull."

Person 2: "Of course, I will be encoding my intelligence and status in that conversation simply by having it, thus demonstrating my quality as a mate. I call this metamating."

Here's the text from the comic transcribed accurately:
---
**Child:** Daddy, the villains' henchmen in movies are always robots!
**Dad:** That's because, as a civilization, we're no longer comfortable with killing soldiers on the basis of nationality.
---
But although we recognize that patriotism is often the handmaiden of dehumanization, we haven't yet given up the notion of Manichean struggle between evil and good.
---
To mentally sustain the contradiction, we insist that evil is exceptional and localized in a small number of humans. This allows us to believe evil is a separate type of mind, and not a facet of all minds.
---
In drama, the avatar of this psychological frailty is the lone villain with an army of automata, fighting humans who under no conditions could ever be like the machines.
---
**Child:** Sorry, let me try that again: Can I have a toy robot for my birthday?
---
**Dad:** Only if you accept the ethical implications!

**Top Panel (In Mathematics):**
A person with short, dark hair and glasses, wearing a black top, is standing and speaking while holding a piece of paper. They say:
"This isn't a proof. You can't have a whole step that's just 'Mathematica said so.'"
**Bottom Panel (In Physics):**
A person with a bushy beard and curly brown hair, wearing a black shirt, is sitting at a table, looking at a piece of paper. They comment:
"What a waste. Half of this proof could be replaced by 'Mathematica said so.'"

Text: "BAD NEWS."
**Panel 2:**
Character 1 (a man with short hair, wearing a red shirt) says: "I’ve chosen to take your lack of interest in me as a clever ruse to lure me into the romantic relationship I’ve desired for several months now."
Character 2 (a woman with long brown hair, wearing a purple shirt) responds: "OH GOD, NO."
**Panel 3:**

**Panel 4:**
Character 1: "I’m going to be out of the dating market for at least two, possibly up to five, YEARS."
**Panel 5:**
Character 1 continues: "And let’s not forget the time and money involved in leaving multiple messages with you every single day! And sending holiday cards? Do romantic gifts buy themselves?"
**Panel 6:**
Character 2: "No, but—"
Character 1 interrupts: "And what if you leave town?! I’ll have to coincidentally find a nearby job, probably at a pay cut. Do you think that’ll be easy for me?!"
**Panel 7:**
Character 1: "I think—"
Character 2 interrupts: "Listen, we can debate this all day, or we can treat it like the minor natural disaster it is, ride it out as best we can, then pick up the pieces like mature adults."
**Panel 8:**

Here is the transcription of the comic text:
**Panel 1:**
- Person 1: "Sure, 20 years from now you'll think more about the things you did than the things you didn't do."
**Panel 2:**
- Person 2: "However, that may not be because they matter more. It's possible they're just easier to remember."
**Panel 3:**
- Person 1: "By focusing on things you'll remember, you're really just paying a cost now to future you."
- Person 2: "But statistically, future you is likely to be wealthier than present you. Thus, present you is paying to subsidize a more affluent person's happiness."
**Panel 4:**
- Person 1: "And that's why I'm eating pie and reading comics all weekend."
**Panel 5:**
- Person 2: "This may have some repercussions for future you."
**Panel 6:**

Here’s the transcribed text from the comic:
**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "They say physics is sex and math is masturbation."
**Panel 2:**
Person 1: "But they also say that physics is just applied math."
**Panel 3:**
Person 2: "So then... does that mean sex is just applied masturbation?"
**Panel 4:**
Person 1: "It means I have a lot of theoretical sex."

The comic features a simple illustration.
1. In the background, there are two hills against a light blue sky.
2. On one hill, there’s a large yellow shape, resembling a blob, sitting at the top.
3. A stick figure, standing on the peak of one hill, holds a small rod or stick, looking down into the other hill.
4. From the stick figure, a speech bubble reads: "ALL THE BEST WORK HAS BEEN DONE OVER HERE!"
5. The hill that the figure is referencing has a jagged, brown surface with some gray rocks embedded in it, creating a rough texture.
The overall tone suggests a humorous take on where effort or attention is focused, contrasting the smooth yellow surface with the more rugged brown terrain.

**Description:**
The comic features two green aliens discussing consciousness while floating in space. The backdrop is dark with stars, and the aliens have large, expressive eyes and simplistic body features. Each panel captures a different moment in their conversation.
**Panel 1:**
- **Alien 1**: "Do you think humans have consciousness?"
- **Alien 2**: "HA!"
**Panel 2:**
- **Alien 2**: "No way."
- **Alien 1**: "But they have self-awareness, empathy, language, ethics..."
**Panel 3:**
- **Alien 1**: "Yeah, but they don’t have Znurg’naq, that’s unique to we Zorblaxians. And humans only have a very primitive form of Zchoeq’yarf."
- **Alien 2**: "So, at best, they’ve got like 70% of consciousness."
**Panel 4:**
- **Alien 1**: "I dunno. Maybe 'consciousness' is just a sort of grab bag of things that are special about us, which we’re therefore giving primacy."
- **Alien 2**: "Oh please."
**Panel 5:**
- **Alien 1**: "If there ARE other conscious beings in the universe, they'll have Znurg’naq. I mean, otherwise how would they Znurg?"
- **Alien 2**: "True. Very true."
**Panel 6 (Elsewhere):**
- A different scene with a woman and a man lying on a grassy surface looking up at the stars.
- **Woman**: "Do you think chimps are truly conscious?"
- **Man**: "Come on. They can barely use syntax."

The comic features a graph with the following labels and text:
**Title on the left:**
"HOW COMPLEX YOU BELIEVE SOCIETY IS"
**Horizontal Axis:**
"AGE" labeled from "COLLEGE" on the left to "RETIREMENT" on the right.
**Vertical Axis:**
A curved line representing the belief in societal complexity, with various statements at specific points along the curve:
- At the peak:
- "SCREW IT. TOO COMPLICATED. CAN'T BE FIXED."
- Slightly descending on both sides:
- "WELL... MAYBE..."
- At the bottom left near "COLLEGE":
- "I COULD FIX THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM IF THEY'D LISTEN TO ME!"
- At the bottom right near "RETIREMENT":
- "I COULD FIX THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM IF THEY'D LISTEN TO ME!"
This creates a visual representation of how people's perceptions of societal complexity change with age.

**IN THE PREFACE OF THE 1955 EDITION OF "THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS" CAMUS WRITES:**
The fundamental subject of “The Myth of Sisyphus” is this: it is legitimate and necessary to wonder whether life has a meaning; therefore it is legitimate to meet the problem of suicide face to face. The answer, underlying and appearing through the paradoxes which cover it, is this: even if one does not believe in God, suicide is not legitimate. Written fifteen years ago, in 1940, amid the French and European disaster, this book declares that even within the limits of nihilism it is possible to find the means to proceed beyond nihilism. In all the books I have written since, I have attempted to pursue this direction. Although “The Myth of Sisyphus” poses mortal problems, it sums itself up for me as a lucid invitation to live and to create, in the very midst of the desert.
---
**I LIKE THIS VIEW. I FIND IT VALUABLE.**
**YEAH! SUCK ON THAT, DESERT OF NIHILISM!**
**AND YET, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF SCIENCE WILL ONE DAY MAKE HUMANS IMMORTAL.**
(A graph is depicted here, titled "Average Lifespan vs Time," showing an upward trend over time.)
---
**AND THOSE PEOPLE, NOT SO DIFFERENT FROM US...**
---
**WILL LOOK BACK AT THIS PHILOSOPHY AS JUST ANOTHER ANCIENT THEOLOGY, AND SAY...**
---
**"WHEN THEY REALIZED THEY WERE IN THE DESERT, THEY BUILT A RELIGION TO WORSHIP THIRSTINESS."**
(A scene shows several figures in a desert, acting out rituals around what appears to be a source of water, with a focus on one individual looking towards a group.)

**Title:** I Wish Celebrity Gossip Were More Scientific
**Text:**
"Today, photons were emitted from a sodium-vapor lamp and reflected off the genitalia of a high status human into a charged coupled device. Other humans are saying the high status human makes capricious reproductive choices."
The speaker appears to be a man with short hair, wearing a blue suit and a red tie, gesturing with his hands.

Here’s a transcription of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
Young people today value honesty. For example, when companies make errors and publicly apologize, their sales tend to soar.
**Panel 2:**
So, the lesson is that we should make our business more transparent?
No, according to this analysis, you can make 3.4 errors per year, from which you reap the "apology bump" without alienating your customers.
**Panel 3:**
If the errors don’t appear to be due to ethical lapses, you can crank up to 7.2 errors.
This represents a potential 48% increase in quarterly revenue. Thus, if we make no errors, we take a massive hit to potential profit.
**Panel 4:**
So, today I’ll be selling “mislabeled” expired food inventory to a local soup kitchen.
**Panel 5:**
Isn’t this monstrous?
My God...
**Panel 6:**
Write that down. We’ll use it for the apology.

**Panel 1**
A common problem for scientists was that rats aren't humans.
**Scientist 1:** We cured cancer in rats!
**Scientist 2:** Again?
---
**Panel 2**
Many horrible human ailments were completely eradicable in rats.
**Scientist 1:** We can make rats immortal!
**Scientist 2:** Sure. Which way?
---
**Panel 3**
But rats were still the best animal model. So, we pressed on.
**Scientist 1:** We can make hyper-intelligent rat breeds.
**Scientist 2:** Yeah, but I bet there’s a trade-off in muscle strength.
**Scientist 1:** Nope.
---
**Panel 4**
Over time, it became harder and harder to get research money, and funding agencies wanted more and more specific programs.
**Scientist 1:** What’s your experiment?
**Scientist 2:** We’re trying to create more humanoid rats for better testing.
---
**Panel 5**
By the time we realized what was happening, it was too late.
**Scientist 1:** Rats now control the NIH!
**Scientist 2:** How?
---
**Panel 6**
**Scientist 1:** Telepathy.
**Scientist 2:** This account was written from my cage. I don’t know how many of us are left, but I do have hope.
---
**Panel 7**
The wheel may turn again.
**Scientist 1:** Dammit. We can’t test the humans for telepathic degeneration because they aren’t telepathic.
**Scientist 2:** Maybe we could make a new breed.

**Panel 5:**
- Scene: The angel cartoonishly looks at another character, who appears nervous.
- Text from the nervous character: "Maybe I'll just make it so you have a prosthetic nose!"

- Text: "Over time, we determined God's plan by seeing what could and could not be altered."

Here's the transcription of the comic:
---
**Person A:** Suppose you’re inside an out of control train. It’s hurtling toward five people. You can do nothing, or you can cause it to change tracks to hit one person. What’s the right thing to do?
**Person B:** I would remove the part of my brain that governs empathy, which is the source of ethics.
---
**Person A:** The remainder of me is an inhuman computing machine, and therefore its behavior has no moral aspect, any more than a computer determining a sum has a moral aspect.
**Person B:** The inhuman computing machine makes a choice, which causes some number of deaths.
---
**Person A:** If a person had made the choice either option would have been immoral. Since the computing machine chose, it was merely amoral. Since the latter is preferable, I made the most rational choice.
---
**Person B:** Wasn't it unethical when you removed the empathy part of your brain?
**Person A:** No, because it didn't alter the final outcome's level of morality.
---
**Person B:** Neuroethics is kind of disturbing, isn't it?
**Person A:** I wouldn't know. I removed the neuroethical part of my brain.
---
Let me know if you need anything else!

**Panel 1:**
- Background: A bright indoor setting with a person holding a camera and a large orange cat.
- Text: “The big money on the internet was in cats.”
**Panel 2:**
- Background: Same indoor setting, closer view of the person now taking a photo of a small kitten.
- Text: “Until kittens were discovered.”
**Panel 3:**
- Background: The person sits among several small, cartoonish kittens.
- Text: “From there, it was a short step to dwarf cats, then dwarf newborn kittens.”
**Panel 4:**
- Background: A laboratory setting with two scientists—one woman and one man—discussing.
- Woman saying: “We have created a kitten the width of a single human hair.”
**Panel 5:**

**Panel 7:**
- Background: More serious expression on the man’s face.
- Text: “But there was a problem. We’re getting weird quantum effects. If too many Planck-kittens are near each other, the ‘pure frequency’ shreds local spacetime.”
**Panel 8:**
- Background: The man looks concerned, the scene is tense.
- Text: “The problem had a solution.”
**Panel 9:**
- Background: The man and woman talking seriously.
- Man asking: “Can we stop making them?”
- Woman replies: “Sure. Just convince the internet to not look at cats.”
**Panel 10:**

**Panel 4:**
The woman, now grinning, comments, "That’s obvious. Erection fading." The man, looking worried, points out, "But since cos(π/2) = 0 and sin(π/2) = 1, the whole thing reduces to e^(iπ/2) = i."
**Panel 5:**
The woman looks shocked and shouts, "Oh God! Oh God!" The man comments, "Oh, that’s Mathy."
**Panel 6:**
The woman, now more excited, says, "Oh you’re a Mathy Mathy girl!" The background has a darker purple hue.
**Panel 7:**
The woman exclaims, "And since e^(iπ/2) is a real number, i is real as well." She has her hands raised and appears animated.
**Panel 8:**
The woman, with a slightly mischievous look, asks, "You wanna hear about the method of Frobenius?" The man, now looking slightly overwhelmed but smiling, replies, "Baby, come on. I need a few minutes."

You may have three wishes. I highly recommend picking bad forks in the road of your life and changing them.
**Panel 2**:
No, I wouldn’t do that. Each mistake is a lesson. Each fall is a step higher.

**Panel 4**:
Are you fucking nuts?
**Panel 5**:
What are the odds that all that is true? By that logic, you’d be better off removing the smart stuff you did.

By changing a couple things, almost every future life path you have becomes different in all the ways you find meaningful, and all without changing your personality in a significant way.
**Panel 7**:
It’s like you mortals have Stockholm Syndrome with your own histories. Isn’t there something you’d change? Something from about age 17 or so?

**Alien:** We believe it is the goal of every species to behave with the best ethics possible.
**Human:** The what?
**Alien:** The best ethics. You know ethics? It's like... trying to maximize how happy everybody is.
**Human:** What's "happy"?
**Alien:** And "emotion"?
**Alien:** Emotion is a sort of heuristic way of thinking. Like, when you can't use logic to solve a problem or understand a situation, you feel emotions about it instead.
**Human:** So, let me get this straight... You have a vague, unreliable mode of thought called "emotion," of which you have an arbitrary subcategory called "happy," which you've chosen as the deciding unit to determine your value as a species?
**Alien:** Yeah. Pretty much. What do Zorblaixians consider the highest behavior?
**Alien:** Smugly tolerating inferior species.
**Human:** What was the point of this meeting again?
**Alien:** Just wanted your perspective.

- **Character 3:** A slightly older character who has a more thoughtful expression.
### Transcription of Text:
1. **Top Panel:**
- Character 1: "I CALL THAT 'THE FALLING PROBLEM.'"
2. **Next Panel:**
- "You encounter it when you first study physics. You realize that, if you were ever dropped from a plane without a parachute, you could calculate with a high degree of accuracy how long it’d take to hit the ground, your speed, how much energy you’ll deposit into the earth."
- "And yet, you would still be just as dead as a particularly stupid gorilla dropped the same distance."
3. **Next Panel:**
- "Mastery of the nature of reality grants you no mastery over the behavior of reality."
4. **Next Panel:**
- Character 3: "I could tell you why grandpa is very sick. I could tell you what each cell is doing wrong, why it’s doing wrong, and roughly when it started doing wrong."
- Character 3 continues: "But I can’t tell them to stop."
5. **Next Panel:**
- Character 2: "Why can’t you make a machine to fix it?"
- Character 3: "Same reason you can’t make a parachute when you fall from the plane."
6. **Next Panel:**
- Character 2: "Because it’s too hard?"
- Character 3: "Nothing is too hard. Many things are too fast."
7. **Next Panel:**
- Character 1: "I think I could solve the falling problem with a jetpack. Can you try to get me the parts?"
- Character 3: "That’s all I do, kiddo."
### Summary:
The comic illustrates a philosophical discussion about understanding physics and life, reflecting on the limits of human control over complex systems while interjecting humor with the idea of using a jetpack to solve the "falling problem."

Here is the transcription of the comic text:

**Person 1:** I've read a great deal of philosophy. What we are, why we are, where we're going...
**Person 2:** And the only thing I can come to is that although it's all pointless, evolution has accidentally given us the ability to perceive our own existence and the awareness that there are things we like.
**Person 2:** Between those two, you can form a closed loop of meaningfulness.
**Person 2:** And if you accept this notion, there's a clear conclusion: you must embrace humanness. Embrace high pleasure. Embrace low pleasure. Embrace love. Embrace hate. Be afraid, be brave, be little, be big.
**Person 1:** So, what are you doing today?
**Person 2:** Grading essays on Kant?
**Person 1:** Embracing the hate, then?
**Person 2:** Bingo.

**Panel 1:**
"Oh my God! There is no Wizard of Oz! It’s just a man behind a curtain!"
**Panel 2:**
"Technically, both are true. Yes, I’m the man behind the curtain, but I also have a vast technological apparatus, a horde of secret knowledge, and decades of cultural inertia."
**Panel 3:**
"Now that you know there's a man behind the curtain, you should be more awed. For a real wizard, this worldly puissance would be trifling."
**Panel 4:**
"But for a man, the achievement of absolute mono-technocracy takes a level of single-mindedness and dispassion that verges on madness, or perhaps madness’s cold mirror. A God made man has all the weakness of perfection. A man made God has all the might of his deformities."
**Panel 5:**
"Didn’t you wonder why I just put myself behind a mere bit of green cloth? Why not a wall? Why not a bunker? Why not a crystal case?"
**Panel 6:**
"See, I like to be found now and then. I like to help, for when I give to the needy few, I am absolutely sure of what’s to come for the unknown many."
**Panel 7:**
"Now then, you can either persist in your dull revelation, OR you can close the curtain and return to your world where good and power can alloy without wicked dross, and where the broken vessels of your lives can be made whole by the caprice of an inscrutable demigod."
**Panel 8:**
"Second one please."
**Panel 9:**
"Soon... and YOU now have courage!"
**Panel 10:**
"Hooray!"

The comic features a title at the top and two graphs below it.
### Title:
"WHY 'YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS' IN TWO GRAPHS"
### Graph 1:
- **Vertical Axis Label:** HOW STUPID YOU FEEL
- **Horizontal Axis Label:** HOW MUCH YOU'RE LEARNING
- The graph line rises sharply, indicating that as "how much you’re learning" increases, "how stupid you feel" also increases.
### Graph 2:
- **Vertical Axis Label:** FEAR OF LOOKING STUPID
- **Horizontal Axis Label:** AGE
- The graph line shows a gradual increase, indicating that as age increases, the "fear of looking stupid" also increases.
The overall implication of the graphs is about the relationship between learning, feelings of inadequacy, and aging.

**Dad**: Oh no you aren't. Your brain has many parts, and most of them have nothing to do with your fear of death. A whole bunch of brain problems could remove your fear of death or even your belief that you're still alive, and in all those situations you'd be pretty much the same personality as you do now.
**Panel 4:**
**Dad**: You don't fear death. A less self-aware part of the brain is just prompting fear for evolutionary reasons.

### Comic Description
**Title: This is What It's Like to Learn Endocrinology**
**Panel 1:**
- A character, depicted as a woman with curly hair and glasses, is speaking to another character. The dialogue reads:
- "So 17α-hydroxylase acts on progesterone, which becomes 17α-hydroxy progesterone, which can either get 21-hydroxylase to become 11-deoxycortisol or get 17,20-lyase to become androstenedione."
**Panel 2:**
- The second character, looking confused, responds:
- "I'm confused."
- The first character reassures them:
- "Oh, sorry. It’s a little tricky at first. But I brought along this helpful diagram."
**Panel 3:**

Then you want it on your upper torso? You want to have to pump digested food up an extra ten centimeters just so you can have an OPEN HOLE into your body cavity?!
**N-NO.**
Then where ya gonna put it?! Huh?! Where are you gonna run a huge extra tube through an exposed part of your body just to avoid having your poopy near your weewee?! Huh?!

**Panel 5:** The scene shifts to show the man, who says nothing. The text reads: “The man says nothing because all that remains of him is sprayed blood and scraps of flesh.”
**Panel 6:** A speech bubble interrupts with, “A priest, a rabbi, and a philosopher walk into the bar.” A third character, appearing slightly younger, observes the conversation.
**Panel 7:** The child from earlier looks confused, emphasizing, “But nothing they say will ever make this right.” The man shown is frowning and holding onto his chest, appearing distressed.
Overall, the comic blends humor with dark themes, featuring a dialogue between a father and child about jokes, with a punchline referencing the darker side of traditional joke setups.

Person 1: "Wait, wait, stop there. This sex is ambiguous."
Person 2: "Huh?"
Person 1: "There are two kingdoms of sex: procreation and communication."
**Panel 2**
Person 1: "Definitely not procreation."
Person 2: "That leaves seven, Phyla: fun, lust, apology, despair, frustration, confusion, and maintenance."
**Panel 3**
Person 2: "Fun."
Person 1: "You sure it’s not maintenance? Maintenance has a lot of cladistic similarity to fun. You really have to look at the first two or three minutes of sex and consider reaction time and pupil dilation."
**Panel 4**
Person 1: "Can’t it be both?"
Person 2: "Sorry, the entire maintenance sex tree is monophyletic. But, it has three major branches: love, fear, and habit."
**Panel 5**
Person 1: "Why can’t we just have sex?"
Person 2: "Oh my god."
**Panel 6**
Person 1: "We just transitioned to frustration sex! This is the first confirmed horizontal transfer of sex taxonomy!"

**Panel 1:**
"Parasites often manipulate the behavior of their current host so that the host gets eaten by a particular other creature, thereby transmitting the parasite."
**Panel 2:**
"This is good for the parasite, but usually bad for the current host."
**Panel 3:**
"We can thus conclude that if an animal has a conspicuously conspicuous behavior, and it has parasites, then the conspicuous behavior is moderated by the parasite."
**Panel 4:**
"We therefore proposed that Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer likely contains some species of bioluminescent parasite, and that there is a North Pole predator that is drawn to red light."
**Panel 5:**
"We created lanterns similar in size and light wavelength to the known values of Rudolph's nose. Then we traveled north."
**Panel 6:**
"We are scientists. Dispassionate by nature."
**Panel 7:**
"But even we were not prepared."
**Panel 8:**
"If someone ever asks why kitties chase the red dot..."
**Panel 9:**
"Tell her... SABERTOOTH!"

Here's a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:
**Panel 1:**
A character sees a laptop left on a park bench. They appear puzzled.
**Text:** "Oh... someone left a laptop on the park bench."
**Panel 2:**
The character speaks to a small devilish figure representing their temptation.
**Text:**
Character: "What should I do, ID?"
Devil: "Take it! If he's so careless, he doesn't deserve it! Take it."
**Panel 3:**
The character asks another figure with angelic features, presumably their conscience.
**Text:**
Character: "What do you think, Superego?"
Angel: "You'd better take it to the police. Doing good is its own reward."
**Panel 4:**
The character turns to a geometric figure that seems to represent logic or reason.
**Text:**
Character: "What do you think, Pure Reason?"
Diamond: "It makes no difference whether you take it or not. You and the machine and its owner are just momentary molecular arrangements. To the extent that there is a persistent 'you', it will survive for a negligible portion of the lifespan of reality, then be obliterated and forgotten."
**Panel 5:**
The geometric figure continues, but the character interrupts, looking increasingly stressed.
**Text:** "The existence of the decision itself is a mere distraction on the road to oblivion."
Character: "You might as well—K-hey! Get your hands off me!"
**Panel 6:**
A sudden focus on the character, who looks overwhelmed.
**Text:**
Character: "You okay, man?"
Person in background: "I think I’m having a religious experience."
This comic uses humor to explore themes of morality, conscience, and existential thoughts through different personifications conversing about the ethical dilemma around the abandoned laptop.

**Panel 1:**
We wanted to know if time travel occurs.
"What if we send a time traveler party?"
**Panel 2:**
It didn't work.
**Panel 3:**
We realized the problem.
"All of time there will be many parties. A time traveler would only go to the best party in history."
**Panel 4:**
We tried to fundraise for the best party in history, but it didn't go well.
"Excuse me, can you spare hours doughnuts?"
**Panel 5:**
Then we had a great idea.
"Hello foreign government! Would you be interested in time travelers? Can we offer them technology? Or, how about you give us money to host a party in your country?"
**Panel 6:**
A bidding war ensued.
“China is offering a stadium made entirely of panda. The U.S. is offering Brazil, Portugal, and a chair of them! Let’s each learn this class into a 10 can salute.”
**Panel 7:**
We reached a compromise.
"We have decided to drain the wealth of all native equity."
**Panel 8:**
We held the greatest party the world could muster. Everything was mortgaged.
"I’m thinking... I want that."
**Panel 9:**
"Part don’t, part recently, a part? Who's gonna take from the true cross?"
**Panel 10:**
No time travelers came.
"Are you from the future?"
**Panel 11:**
"Nope. I'm a vinyl corpse fetishist."
**Panel 12:**
Their resources and machinery used up. The young economies (France), Anarchy came; starvation and violence founded.
**Panel 13:**
Then a light appeared in the sky.
**Panel 14:**
It turns out time travelers don’t like the kind of party we like.
"Are you from the future?"
"Yup! I’m here with all my friends to witness the 26 millionth of horrors."
**Panel 15:**
"Time travel is possible."
"WHAT? And ruin my party?"
**Panel 16:**
"It just wasn't."
"Everyone looks! They’re eating their own children!"

"Get pictures! Get pictures!"

**Boy in court:** "Yes, your honor, my client 'stole' the plaintiff's rattle."
**Panel 2:**
**Boy continues:** "But the plaintiff has no object permanence. None of us do! So, in his internal reality model, the object never existed. If the object doesn't exist, how can we say that it was stolen?"
**Panel 3:**
**Person in court:** "Objection! Reality isn't a byproduct of human perception. Our lack of object permanence changes nothing!"
**Judge:** "Sustained. The rattle's existence is not up for debate."
**Panel 4:**
**Boy (panicking):** "I’ll show you! I’ll close my eyes!"
**Bailiff (alert):** "Bailiff! Stop him!"

**Comic Description:**
**Panel 1:**
- A muscular figure, representing Sisyphus, is shown with an angry expression, holding a boulder in one hand. His body is adorned with a flowing robe or cape that flows behind him. A glowing aura surrounds him.
- Another figure, presumably a god or higher being, has a more concerned expression, gesturing towards Sisyphus. The text above reads:
- "SISYPHUS! YOU ARE CURSED TO PUSH A STONE UP A HILL, ONLY TO SEE IT FALL DOWN OVER AND OVER AGAIN!"
- The exclamation "Nooo!" is coming from Sisyphus.
**Panel 2:**
- The same two figures are depicted, but the focus is now on the god-like character who appears to be explaining.
- The text reads: "OKAY, OKAY, ADDENDUM: EACH TIME THE ROCK ROLLS BACK DOWN, A MEANINGLESS COUNTER WILL SAY YOU'VE INCREASED ONE LEVEL."
- The background shows Sisyphus raising one hand in a celebratory gesture, with a joyful expression. He exclaims, "WOOHOO!"

### Comic Description
**Panel 1:**
*Setting:* Two characters lie on a grassy patch at night, under a starry sky.
*Character A (with curly hair, wearing a pink shirt):* "You know the Star Trek problem? The one where if you’re obliterated but then reassembled, 'you are still dead,' even though there's an exact duplicate of you."
*Character B (with dark hair, wearing a purple shirt):* "Yeah."
**Panel 2:**
*Character A:* "Well, to me, that means it’s unethical to put someone in the teleporter because you're killing them."
*Character B:* "Sure."
**Panel 3:**
*Character A:* "But what if you put something in the teleporter that isn’t aware of its existence? Like, it’s probably unethical to up and kill a million mice for no reason. But is it unethical to run the teleporter on the 'same' mouse a million times?"
**Panel 4:**
*Character A continues:* "Or say a lady was in labor, and the baby was stuck, and you could teleport it out. Would that be unethical?"
*Character B responds, thoughtful:* "I mean, technically, you’ve still got the teleporter problem, but the baby won’t remember."
**Panel 5:**
*Character A:* "And what really weirds me out is teleporting the baby seems fine to me if you do it fast—like, there’s only a discontinuity in space, not time. But if you obliterate the baby, then reassemble it a year later, that seems more questionable somehow."
**Panel 6:**
*Visuals depict a view of the starry sky with two small figures (presumably the characters) visible in the foreground.*
**Panel 7:**
*Character B:* "I’m pretty sure this is the kind of stuff you get all figured out by the time you’re a grownup."
*Character A:* "Well, obviously."

**Title:** "Every Time I Do Vector Calculus"
**Panel 1:**
- The top text reads: "IN THE FUTURE, KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE MANIPULABLE HOLOGRAMS, AND THESE CONCEPTS ARE GOING TO BE soooo much easier TO UNDERSTAND."
- The scene shows a character with long, curly reddish-brown hair and a beard, sitting at a desk. The character is focused on a sheet of paper where they are drawing diagrams related to vector calculus. There are a few shapes and arrows sketched on the paper. The background is a purple hue.
**Panel 2:**
- The character's expression changes to one of frustration. They think, "FUCK THOSE KIDS." There is no additional background detail.
The comic humorously contrasts the ideal future of learning with the character's current exasperation about the difficulty of vector calculus.

**Panel 1:**
THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY IS THE SEARCH FOR AN APPROPRIATE BRAIN FOR EACH ACTIVITY.
**Panel 2:**
EARLY ON, BIG BRAINS DID EVERYTHING, NO MATTER HOW MUNDANE. THIS WAS WRETCHED.
PAG! YOU HATCH FRUIT 'TIL IT BECOMES DORE!
**Panel 3:**
LATER, THEY TAMED OTHER BRAINS AND PUT THEM TO WORK.
DOG. STAND GUARD. OX PLOW.
CHICKEN! NAME MORE CHICKEN!
**Panel 4:**
HAVING EXHAUSTED THAT RESOURCE, THEY CREATED BRAIN. SIMPLE ONES AT FIRST!
PAPER! REMEMBER THINGS.
**Panel 5:**
I STAN ENGINE! THROW MY BOAT!
CHICKEN MUSCLE LATTICE! MAKE MORE CHICKEN!
**Panel 6:**
ONE BY ONE, EVERY TASK WAS PAIRED WITH A PERFECTLY SUITED BRAIN.
CREATES MATHS.
REMEMBER IMAGES.
CATCH MICE.
SIMULATE GALAXIES.
POLITICAL ANALYSIS.
**Panel 7:**
AT THAT POINT, THE ONLY TASK LEFT FOR THE API BRAIN WAS TO CREATE SURFBOARDS WHO COULD!
AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE CREATED AN INFINITE CHICKEN MANIFOLD.
**Panel 8:**
SOON, SCIENCE WAS COMPLETE. ORDER REIGNED, AND BRAINS WERE UTILIZED. ALL, THAT IS, EXCEPT THE PRESENT.
EVERYTHING WOBBLED. GOD I…
**Panel 9:**
IT IS HARD FOR AN ALL-KNOWING BEING, TO BE AWARE, IN A PERFECTED UNIVERSE, OF A PRESENTENCE HAPPENING. THE LAST BRAIN WOULD PURPOSELY DAMAGE ITS ABILITY TO SEE THE FUTURE.
I CAN DISCOVER AGAIN!
**Panel 10:**
THIS FELT SO GOOD, IT BECAME ADDICTIVE.
THE LAST BRAIN REQUIRED EVEN MORE SEVERE MENTAL DAMAGE TO BE HAPPY!
I WONDER HOW? DO EFFECTS FOLLOW CAUSES!?
**Panel 11:**
THEY LED TO A GREAT ACCIDENT.
I WONDER HOW FAR I CAN STRETCH SPACE BEFORE…
*SNAP!*
**Panel 12:**
AFTER REALITY CAME, ONLY THE LAST BRAIN REMAINED. IT RESOLVED TO CREATE A NEW EXISTENCE, WITHOUT ALL THOSE PROBLEMS.
GOD I…
**Panel 13:**
YOU LIVE IN THE SECOND UNIVERSE.
**Panel 14:**
AND IF YOU’VE EVER FELT EXISTENTIALLY ADRIFT…
**Panel 15:**
WELL, THERE’S A REASON.
DEAR GOD, WHY LIFE SEEMS TO HAVE NO POINT.
YOU'RE WELCOME!

The comic features two characters in a medical setting.
At the top, the text reads: **"NOAH'S URETHRAL SWAB RESULTS WERE PREDICTABLE."**
In the speech bubble from a character who appears to be a doctor, it says: **"I'M AFRAID YOU HAVE TWO OF EACH KIND."**
The doctor is depicted with dark hair, glasses, and wearing a white coat, holding a clipboard or document. The other character, presumably Noah, has gray hair and a beard, looking back at the doctor. The background is a simple, muted tone, focusing on the conversation.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A child, who appears to be in their early teens, is looking up at their father with a slightly annoyed expression. The father, who is balding and wearing glasses, is looking serious and says, “Son, it’s time I gave you ‘the sex talk!’”
**Panel 2:** The child responds, “Dad, I already know.” The child is wearing a yellow shirt and appears somewhat casual.
**Panel 3:** The father, still serious, explains, “‘The sex talk’ is a sex maneuver in which you spend the entire sexual encounter talking.” He looks animated as he gestures while talking.
**Panel 4:** The child furrows their brow and asks, “And women like that?” Their expression shows a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
**Panel 5:** The father replies, “Like it? They love it. Oh sure, they’ll say they don’t. They’ll say it’s ‘annoying’ or ‘bizarre,’ but they love it.” He appears confident, leaning forward slightly.
**Panel 6:** The child, looking somewhat pleased, says, “Thanks, Dad.” A speech bubble from the father asks, “Did you give Billy the birth control talk?”
**Panel 7:** In the final panel, there’s a scene of Billy, who is in the background (implied to be with another person). The father, looking a bit less serious, responds, “Pretty much.”
The comic presents a humorous take on the concept of "the sex talk" and its nuances, using playful dialogue and expressions.

Panel 1:
Person A: "If you could change anything about how we parent the kids, what would it be?"
Person B: "Oh, that’s easy. I would’ve done all the diapers."
Panel 2:
Person A: "Why?"
Person B: "Diaper's got the best chore score! Chores have two qualities: E is level of easiness, P is level of perceived difficulty. If you put that on a scale of 1 to 10, the perfect score is E:P = 100."
Panel 3:
Person B: "I had it to do over, I would’ve called doing diapers. It’s the easiest thing about parenting, and everyone thinks it’s the hardest. While your spouse is diaper-naïve, it has a chore cross section of 100!"
Panel 4:
Person B: "But, once the diaper-naïve spouse does a diaper, E falls to 1, making the cross section E = 10."
Panel 5:
Person B: "So yeah, if I could have it over again, I’d have done all the diapers and told you how gross and terrible it was, and you’d have been none the wiser. Wow! What a life it could’ve been."
Panel 6:
Person A: "I was hoping we’d have a moment there."
Person B: "You didn’t?"

**Vertical axis (y-axis)**: Labeled "PATHEticness OF EXISTENCE." The graph rises sharply above the horizontal line as it moves away from the baseline.
**Horizontal axis (x-axis)**: Labeled "SIZE OF SCREEN ON WHICH YOU ARE CURRENTLY VIEWING PORNO."
The graph itself shows a parabolic curve that dips to a low point and then rises again, suggesting that there is a relationship between the size of the screen and a perceived level of "patheticness."
The overall tone is humorous and satirical, indicating that smaller screens correlate with a higher "patheticness."

- Character: A woman with glasses and curly hair, wearing a blazer.

**Panel 3:**
- Character: The same woman continues.
- Text: "What you students may not realize is that the point of a commencement speech isn't the words. If you want inspiration or profound insight or whatever, well, you should've got it in literature class."
**Panel 4:**
- Text: "No. The point of the speaker is to show how much money our university can afford to spend on 20 minutes of platitudes. We need to show off our brand. You need our brand to get a job."
**Panel 5:**
- Text: "So, we have reached a compromise solution: For commencement this year, we have simply heaped a pile of cash on the dais."
**Panel 6:**
- Text: "I will now set the cash on fire. As the flame burns down, you will receive degrees."
- Character: A woman holding cash, looking mischievous.
**Panel 7:**

**Panel 8:**
- Character: One graduate says, "I feel like I’m actually learning a lesson from this speech."

**Panel 1:** A character resembling an academic or scientist stands at a podium, addressing an audience. He has a beard and glasses. The caption reads, "In 1950, Alan Turing proposed a test to determine whether a machine has human intelligence."
**Panel 2:** The same character continues speaking, now gesturing with his hands. He says, "But this test is not general enough. It only distinguishes human from machine. And it only determines ability to seem human. It does not tell you whether an entity possesses human moral standing."
**Panel 3:** The character proposes a new idea, saying, "We propose a new protocol."
**Panel 4:** The focus shifts to a diagram showing a scale with various entities listed: "RNA, Fish, Birds, Cats, Capybaras." The character continues, "Cats can watch you poop with minimal discomfort..."
**Panel 5:** The character adds, "...as we walk along the scale toward herding dogs and cephalopods, we experience only mild discomfort."
**Panel 6:** The scene shows a dolphin on a screen or paper, with the character stating, "Here is the face of a dolphin watching you poop. On this basis, we propose an end to dolphin hunting."
**Panel 7:** The character explains further, "This method is so robust, to our surprise, it extends beyond humans, whom we originally considered as the maximally awkward poop-watchers."
**Panel 8:** A visual depicts an abstract mind or a cube-like structure. The character concludes, "The following is a simulation of a perfected mind woven of spacetime as it watches you poop."
**Panel 9:** The character stresses, "Note that the organism does not feel awkward for pooping in your presence."
**Panel 10:** Another character, possibly a woman, comments, "What about human couples who use the bathroom at the same time?"
**Panel 11:** The character at the podium stands confidently, replying, "I stand by my theory."
**Background:** The audience appears engaged, with little details suggesting reactions, such as a woman raising her hand and others listening intently.
Overall, the comic has humor around societal norms and constructs using an absurd premise related to privacy and morality.

**MAKE YOUR OWN... UNSEXY DICE!**
**DIE 1: REASONS**
- Headache that mysteriously won't be helped by sex-mediated endorphins
- Exhausted from sex last August
- Grew out of sex during teen years
- Sex is just one more pointless dance before the existential chasm swallows us all.
- Dead inside, but not in the way that leads to an urgent desire for the fleeting warmth of lovemaking.
- Not really into engorged genitalia.
**DIE 2: BEHAVIORS**
- Pretend to be asleep
- Quash partner's libido by bringing up partner's most emotional failures
- Eat four pizzas, scaring away sex like a pufferfish scares away predators
- Vibrate whole body, making it impossible to focus on sexy parts
- Escape by leap through nearest window
- Have sex

- Text: "Baumol’s solution is that the musician’s pay is buoyed by the fact that he could become a computer programmer."
**Panel 4**

**Panel 1:**
"If there were a machine you could step in, which gave you a constant but false sense of pleasure for the rest of your life, would you do it?"
**Panel 2:**
"Absolutely not! It's always better to experience life as it is."
**Panel 3:**
"Okay, suppose you could take your nemesis, Jenny, and put her in the machine. Would you do it?"
**Panel 4:**
"No! Why would I put my enemy in a pleasure machine?"
**Panel 5:**
"Because you said real life was necessarily preferable to the machine. By your logic, putting her in the machine causes her harm."
**Panel 6:**
"Can we put poison oak in the pleasure machine?"
**Panel 7:**
"Not if you want to be philosophically consistent."

**Panel 1:**
The humans are fascinating. They’re like other sapient races, but uniquely, they lack an objective sense organ.
**Question:** What do you mean? How is that possible?
**Panel 2:**
They just don’t. They have a barrage of "sense" organs which give different general ideas about what’s around them.
**Panel 3:**
Like, if you could give one a ball of middle element, it would say, “This feels cold,” meaning it reflects light. Then, it would say “this is iron.”
**Panel 4:**
But all of those are conditional, relative statements. They’re almost vacuous. Why not just perceive middle element and use your concept transmitter to tell others about it?
**Question:** They don’t have a concept transmitter?
**Panel 5:**
What?! How do they mate?
**Panel 6:**
Badly. One triggers another’s sense organ with an assurance of affection. The other considers the assurance statistically and decides whether to proceed.
**Panel 7:**
What a nightmare. It’d be like you were born in a tiny cavity inside a giant sphere, and the only way to communicate was by poking a stick through a narrow hole in the wall!
**Response:** Yep.
**Panel 8:**
Now... imagine those beings somehow create spaceships, warp drives, and fusion bombs.
**Question:** What?!
**Panel 9:**
We’re scared, so you get missiles!
**Panel 10:**
**Text:** THE UNIVERSE IS DOOMED

**Queen:** Mirror mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
**Mirror:** You, my queen! You!
---
**Panel 2:**
**Mirror:** According to one interpretation, anyway.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Mirror:** See, most mirrors would just do a straight average of preferences on a scale from 0 to 100 of all people in the kingdom. Under that rubric, you’re barely top quintile.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Mirror:** But, if we weight the average so that people with strong preferences count more, you really benefit from the surprisingly large community of septuagenarian fetishists.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Queen:** I’m 64.
**Mirror:** Hey, work what you got.
---
**Panel 6:**
**Mirror:** Anyway, my point is this: perverts and the root mean square make you the fairest anywhere.

**Panel 1:**
Excuse me. Can I interest you in the spirit realm?
**Person 1:** BAH!
**Panel 2:**
Humans have long lifespans because our grandparents help nurture children. But, imagine if instead of living, grandparents died and then nurtured from beyond the grave! They wouldn’t need food, shelter, or anything.
**Panel 3:**
You’d want grandparents to die quickly so they could start low-cost nurturing. You’d also want shorter and shorter generation times, so you could reap a crapload of grandmas faster than some other tribe.
**Panel 4:**
Parents would cease to do childcare because there’d be a FREE dead relative daycare system. So, babies would have no need to be cute, and would thus become more and more annoying.
**Panel 5:**
Slowly, but surely, humans would need and want each other less and less. We’d evolve to be more solitary, mating quickly then leaving our babies to be raised by their more social ancestors.
**Panel 6:**
Finally, we’d be too inhuman to leave behind ghosts. Humans would just look upon ghosts with disdain and confusion.
**Panel 7:**
Most people just say ‘no thanks.’
**Person 1:** Those people need to get educated.

**Panel 1:**
*Character 1*: I was walking today with my baby sister, and we went near a softball game.
**Panel 2:**
*Character 1*: I realized I could lower the chance of us getting hit by a softball if I sped up and got away from the game quicker.
**Panel 3:**
*Character 1*: But, then I realized that if I sped up and then got hit, the hit would be my fault.
**Panel 4:**
*Character 1*: Even though speeding up was the rational choice, if I had sped up and she got struck, her pain would be the result of my choice.
**Panel 5:**
*Character 1*: Somehow, change was a decision, but staying the same was a non-decision. So, I stayed the same. I took the wrong action, but I never risked feeling guilty or ashamed or foolish.
**Panel 6:**
*Character 1*: I guess what I'm saying, Dad, is I understand why you won't go back to get your degree.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic panel:
The comic consists of four panels. In the first panel, a person with short brown hair and glasses is depicted, speaking enthusiastically, "Okay, let's come up with a new fetish. Spin the wheels of perversion." In front of this character are two large, colorful spinning wheels, one pink and the other green.
In the second panel, a character with a darker hairstyle appears surprised and says, "Huh."
The third panel shows the same character from the second panel exclaiming, "Oh, shoot. One of these was a wheel of social reform movements."
In the final panel, two characters are shown: one wielding a whip and the other, a male character, appears to be in a playful, somewhat exaggerated state of submission. The character with the whip enthusiastically states, "Taste the lash of organic hemp fibers," while the male character replies, "I feel so sustainably degraded!"
The comic's style is cartoonish, using bold lines and bright colors, emphasizing the humorous and absurd nature of the dialogue.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Title:** The Ultimatum Game
**Panel 1:**
A character with long, curly hair and glasses (likely female) speaks to two people in a casual setting. A caption reads: "There is an experiment called 'the Ultimatum Game.' Subject A, you get $100. You must offer some split to Subject B. Subject B can accept or reject. If she rejects, nobody gets any money."
**Panel 2:**
Subject B, a character with a short haircut, responds angrily while another character looks on with concern. The caption states: "Logically, Subject B should be happy with any offer. But that doesn’t happen." The character yells, "5 bucks?! Up yours, you greedy bastard!"
**Panel 3:**
A different character, possibly a researcher-type, addresses the situation. They say: "That was an incredibly counterintuitive result to nobody but economists."
**Panel 4:**
The same character continues with enthusiasm: "The humans aren’t doing what the math says. The humans must be broken."
**Panel 5:**
Another character stands next to the researcher-type, asking a question. The caption reads: "However, it is a useful sort of detection method. I offer you exactly nothing."
**Panel 6:**
The researcher-type asks, "You’re not, by any chance, a neoclassical economist, are you?"
**Panel 7:**
The final character looks surprised and responds, "How did you know?!"
The comic explores themes of economics, human behavior, and expectations in decision-making scenarios, all presented with humor. The characters exhibit different emotional reactions throughout the dialogue, enhancing the comic's engaging narrative.

**Panel 4:**
"Thus, the existence of this presentation about altruism proves the existence of animal altruism. Thank you."

**Panel 1:**
A character with brown hair and glasses (a physicist) looks at another character, who has short, dark hair and is wearing a purple shirt. The physicist is asking:
"Hey, you’re a physicist! Could you explain, in layman's terms, why bubbles in soda go to the top, fall down exactly once, then rise again?"
**Panel 2:**
The physicist appears puzzled, with a slight frown, and responds:
"Well, it’s obvious that… that…"
The character she's talking to responds with a confused:
"Huh."
**Panel 3:**
The physicist is now focused, looking at papers stacked high on a desk, and says:
"Gimme a sec."
**Panel 4:**
The physicist, looking frustrated, stares off-screen as her thoughts seem to occupy her.
**Panel 5:**
She remarks, seemingly apologetic:
"Bubbles don’t actually do that, do they."
**Panel 6:**
The other character, now smiling, laughs:
"Ha! You lost six months of life!"

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two characters. On the left, a villainous character with a bald head and glasses, wearing a green outfit and purple gloves, is shown laughing maniacally. He has a sly smile, showcasing a sense of villainy. His speech bubble reads:
"I HAVE CAPTURED EVERY SINGLE AFFLUENT WHITE COLLEGE STUDENT! WITH EVERY PASSING SECOND, I CONDUCT MORE OPINION SURVEYS. WHEN I HAVE CONDUCTED ENOUGH, I WILL SPECULATE ABOUT HOW TO DESTROY THE WORLD! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
On the right, a hero character, with a red and yellow outfit and a lightning bolt symbol on his chest, has his hands tied behind him, looking concerned and slightly confused. Below the comic, there's a caption in a standard font, spoken by the hero:
"I'm sorry, but mad sociology is not a real mad science."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
- Text: "What's the matter?"
- An alien character responds, "Have you heard of Schrödinger's cat?"
- Visuals: Two colorful swirling circles, one light blue and the other yellow, against a dark background.
**Panel 2:**
- Text: "It's a human idea. Due to the quantum nature of a system, you can have a cat that is both alive and dead at once. It's not one or the other until you observe. It's a sort of paradox. Like... how can it be both? Is reality even real?"
- Visuals: The swirling circles remain, visually representing the discussion.
**Panel 3:**
- Text: "Nonsense. There's a trivial solution: kill all cats. If all cats are dead, the cat in the box is dead. No ambiguity."
- Visuals: Continuation of the colorful swirls.
**Panel 4:**
- Text: "Well, that doesn't solve the problem. They also have a version with gunpowder that is both exploded and not exploded until you observe."
- Visuals: The conversation continues with the swirling circles.
**Panel 5:**
- Text: "Trivial solution: explode all gunpowder."
- A response: "You're missing the point."
- Visuals: The aliens continue discussing the issue.
**Panel 6:**
- Text: "No, I'm not. This is easily resolvable: find all things that could exist in two or more states and reduce them to one state. Bam. No paradoxes."
- Visuals: The swirling circles briefly indicate that ideas are flowing.
**Panel 7:**
- Text: "That... is brilliant! Let's do it!"
- Visuals: Excitement is visually represented in the characters.
**Panel 8:**
- Text: "About ten billion years later..."
- Characters are now visible, one asking, "But professor, why was the universe a singularity before the big bang?"
- Another character answers, "Nobody knows."
- Visuals: The scene shows a classroom with aliens. One alien sits at a desk covered in equations and notes.

Alien: "It must be strange for you to meet us. We live for over a thousand years, while you live for only sixteen hours."
**Panel 2:**
Person: "That's not true. We live for about 80 years."
**Panel 3:**
Alien: "Your bodies do, yes. But life is the persistence of consciousness, and you cease to be conscious for eight hours per day."
**Panel 4:**
Person: "That's just sleep."
**Panel 5:**
Alien: "Right! Sleep! All sapient species evolve sleep because persistent consciousness is maladaptive in most environments."
**Panel 6:**
Alien: "That's why advanced beings cure sleep. So, only one consciousness will ever inhabit my body, whereas your body will house about 30,000 by the time your body dies!"
**Panel 7:**
Alien: "Oh! Speaking of time, I have to get to a meeting. Nice to meet you, and make sure to enjoy the golden minutes of your life!"

The woman, looking unimpressed, replies, "That's nice, dear."
**Panel 8:**
The man concludes cheerfully, "But hey, I found out really fast, so that’s a big time savings! I’m gonna go play video games!"

**Panel 4:**
*As the machines improved, it became less and less necessary for humans to use language.*
*“True wit is nature to advantage dress’d; what oft was thought, but ne’er so well express’d.”*
*Good day, sir.*
*And to you, madame.*
**Panel 5:**
*The auto-tuners began to transmit information that was more interesting to them.*
*Did you know Rna99x31 is on 0a2-2xl?*
*I will inform 10x910z...*
*Oh!*
**Panel 6:**
*Humans are now just cheap information-transfer systems for robotic minds.*
*“It’s not important. Send via metmail.”*
**Panel 7:**
*Earth is now a single mechanical brain, run internally by human 'cells'.*
**Panel 8:**
*Which, for a megamind, is a pretty raw deal.*

**Panel 2:**
- Background: White.

**Panel 3:**
- Background: Red.
- A character, a young woman with a light brown shirt and short hair, appears to be pondering.

**Panel 5**: The character seems frustrated, saying, “No, come on! Go volunteer at a pet shelter!”
**Panel 6**: The devil interrupts, suggesting, “Or kick a dog!”
**Panel 7**: The angel responds: “That’s fine! Just something!”
**Panel 8**: An action scene shows the devil in a panic, screaming “AAAAH!” while racing away.
**Panel 9**: The final panel shows the person sitting on the couch again, thinking, “I’m gonna eat a can of frosting while Facebooking.” Below that, they reflect, “Another great Saturday!”
The style includes humorous characterizations of good and evil, as well as a casual, relatable scenario of procrastination and leisure.

---
**Panel 1:**
*Early reality TV was complicated and expensive.*
*We put twenty people on an island and make them compete in physical challenges to win BIG MONEY!*
---
**Panel 2:**
*Writers and philosophers predicted a dystopic future.*
*Soon, we'll be watching fights to the death for prizes! That's where this inevitably goes.*
---
**Panel 3:**
*They were wrong.*
*According to this survey, people liked when normal went to challenge-winners, but loved when Heather and Rob squabbled over a single Oreo.*
---
**Panel 4:**
*We thought it was a coincidence.*
*Surely people want high drama, not petty squabbling.*
---
**Panel 5:**
*We were probably wrong.*
*Think about it! Most people don’t remember who killed Hamlet after he achieved a measure of clarity, but everyone remembers how he had a big fight with his mom over who she was screaming!*
---
**Panel 6:**
*Reality shows were pared down more and more.*
*In this episode of “Amusing Humans”, we watch two children argue over a sack of gummy worms.*
---
**Panel 7:**
*People always spent tons of time on pointless nonsense. It’s now that video edition is cheap that we can condense. You see? This is the mental equivalent to the discovery of refined sugar.*
---
**Panel 8:**
*This led to a new problem.*
*It used to be that you could film ten hours of footage and get thirty minutes of amazing behavior. But people are spending more time watching reality TV alone, so you only get about five minutes of amazing behavior for the same work.*
---
**Panel 9:**
*A sociological law was discovered.*
*The more reality TV you make, the harder it is to make reality TV.*
---
**Panel 10:**
*Ever more resources were spent on video production.*
*We have three chairs for filming all the time. We can still produce a *whole* meal! Who'll make the food?*
---
**Panel 11:**
*Argument: Cameras! Are you recording?*
---
**Panel 12:**
*Just before things reached a dystopic climax, technology saved the day.*
*This chip applies electricity directly to the amygdala!*
---
**Panel 13:**
*Now we just watch each other watching.*
*The chip makes us feel like we’re fighting, just a bit.*
---
**Panel 14:**
*This is exhilarating.*

**Panel 15:**
*It’s better this way.*

**Panel 3:**

*Person looks thoughtful and says:*
"Dear Jesus... I don’t really like church, and a bunch of your rules are just no fun. So, I’m gonna skip all that stuff until right before I die. Then I’m gonna repent and go to heaven."
---
**Panel 2:**
*Thought bubble:*
"What if you get hit by a bus before you can repent and change your ways?"
*Person responds:*
"I’ll make you a deal: the odds of getting hit by a bus are about one in ten million. For believing in you about one ten millionth of the time, I’d like to be absolved of sin in the case of bus-related death."
---
**Panel 3:**
*Thought bubble:*
"What about all the other ways to die? At your age, the mortality rate is about 0.2%."
*Person replies:*
"Okay, 0.2% of the time, I’ll believe in you. That’s about 16 hours a year. So, I’ll give you Easter mass, Christmas mass, and whenever I want something really bad. Which is what I was doing anyway."

*Person continues:*
"As my age-based mortality rate increases, I’ll begin attending church at a commensurate rate until, late in life, I’ll spend all day at church just to be safe."

Here is a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** The scene depicts a man with short, light brown hair and a serious expression gazing towards a dark, shadowy figure that resembles an abyss. The background features a gradient of dark colors. The text reads: "When you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
**Panel 2:** The man looks slightly inquisitive. Next to him, the shadowy figure has cartoonish eyes and a slightly mischievous expression. Above the shadow, the text says: "It's wondering why you're gazing at it." Below the figure, "Does it know you?" is written.
**Panel 3:** The shadowy figure states, "You don’t look familiar," while the man appears confused. The text in this panel reads: "The abyss ventures a wave. You don’t respond."
**Panel 4:** The man continues to stare, with a look of discomfort. The shadowy figure looks increasingly uncomfortable, and the text says: "But you keep staring. The abyss is getting really uncomfortable."
**Panel 5:** The shadowy figure confronts the man, looking stern, as the man responds defensively: "I don’t want any trouble, okay?" The text reads: "The abyss confronts you."
**Panel 6:** The man in the panel is observing a football match on a screen behind the shadowy figure. The text reads: "The abyss realizes you were watching the football match on the TV behind it."
**Panel 7:** The man looks relaxed. The shadowy figure is now at a bar, apologetic. The text states: "The abyss is so embarrassed that it never comes back to this bar."
**Panel 8:** A character resembling Freud reads a book with a thoughtful expression. The shadowy figure stands with a slightly deflated demeanor. The text says: "It's fine, Nietzsche, but maybe pare it down a bit." The Freud character says, "Where'd it go bad?"

**Panel 4:**
"But that little bit of a testicle has been slowly shriveling up for decades now."
**Panel 5:**
"Meanwhile, the ovary grows ever fuller, ever more whole, until one day, the testicle will finally shrink down to a speck of dust and disappear."

**Panel 7:**
"No, I’m just making the TA uncomfortable."

The comic consists of a graph and a speech bubble. Here’s a detailed description:
- **Graph**:
- The vertical axis is labeled "POTENTIAL FOR LOVE".
- The horizontal axis appears to represent time or another variable (not labeled).
- A red line shows the potential for love starting low, rising sharply, leveling off, and then declining slightly.
- **Speech Bubble**:
- There is a character (drawn in a cartoon style) who has brown hair and a light complexion. They are smiling and talking.
- The speech bubble contains the text: "OF COURSE I BELIEVE IN SCIENCE. I'M A TOTAL TAURUS!"
This captures the comic's humor about astrology and belief in science.

1. **Panel 1**: A male character with brown hair and wearing a shirt and tie is speaking. The background is purple. The text reads:

2. **Panel 2**: Another male character, older and wearing glasses, responds. The background is light blue. The text reads:
- "Sociologists had a theory."
- "Well, people used to live in small local bands. Now, we’re in huge ever-churning groups."
3. **Panel 3**: A female character, with dark hair and a professional look, is speaking. The background is light green. The text reads:

5. **Panel 5**: The same man responds, looking smug. The background is orange. The text reads:
- "Actually, two problems."
- "Have no fear Disneyland-goers! Here is my not-a-pedophile card!"
6. **Panel 6**: A little girl is depicted, looking doubtful. The background is pink. The text reads:
- "Computerized trust is not friendship. It’s alliance."
- "It’s nice to know that you won’t kill me."
- "Oh yeah, that doesn’t destroy my 26-star rating."
7. **Panel 7**: The first female character looks concerned. The text reads:
- "Human trust began to atrophy."
- "I know that the babysitter’s club won’t cook and eat my children, but I’d just relax more if it were profit-motivated third-party provided confirmation."
8. **Panel 8**: A different female character speaks, looking pensive. The text reads:
- "We are all islands now."

**Panel 1:**
Superman: "Here's the thing, Lex. I have super-strength, super-vision, super-integrity. Why not super-ethics, too?"
Lex Luthor: "But don't you already have super-ethics? You save lots of people."
---
**Panel 2:**
Superman: "Are you familiar with the idea of 'emergent properties'? Qualities of things that aren't apparent until you have them in great quantity?"
---
**Panel 3:**
Superman: "You couldn't predict the behavior of an ocean from a molecule of H2O. You couldn't predict the economy from a single human. Maybe when you have a lot of ethics, it becomes qualitatively different."
---
**Panel 4:**
Lex Luthor: "I don't understand."
Superman: "That's my point."
---
**Panel 5:**
Lex Luthor: "You're not so different. You've had collateral damage to innocent people during your battles with supervillains."

Superman: "Jesus. I mean, I'm evil, but you're not even on the spectrum."
Lex Luthor: "That's what I'm saying."
---
**Panel 7:**
Superman: "The atoms in my ocean..."
Lex Luthor: "No. I'm not. I don't make humanity. I'm not responsible for them."
---
**Panel 8:**
Superman: "Then why do you keep stopping me when I try to cause mayhem?"
---
**Panel 9:**
Lex Luthor: "Every time I stop you, humans get less self-reliant and a little less for themselves and a little more for me."
---
**Panel 10:**
Lex Luthor: "Now, when a great villain arises, they don't even try to wait."
---
**Panel 11:**
Lex Luthor: "But suppose I was the villain."
---
**Panel 12:**
Superman: "This is screwed up! I was just trying to do a little evil. You've gone way beyond!"
---
**Panel 13:**
Lex Luthor: "I'm gonna tell everyone!"

**Comic Description:**
The comic opens with a narrative about teenagers and a baseball metaphor used to describe sexual achievement, outlining the bases as follows:
- **First base:** touching.
- **Second base:** touching boobs.
- **Third base:** doing it.
- **Fourth base:** doing it.
Next, it expresses concerns from morality groups about teenagers overindulging in these activities, with characters expressing the idea that it would be better if kids were influenced by authority figures instead of their peers.
A character suggests a "pragmatic solution" to change the metaphor by adding "sixteen" to baseball. There is humorous doubt expressed about this suggestion, leading to a discussion about how teenagers have already "been to bases one through four" and they need to know "what's beyond."
The tone shifts to a revelation about teenage culture that has changed dramatically, as a character mentions they've reached "fourteenth base."
There’s mention of a natural disaster (an earthquake) where the sun became "as black" as "blood." A character argues about the weirdness of this situation, leading to a joke about the average sixteen-year-old being at "seventeenth base" five times concerning the number of "water weenies."
The comic then transitions to graphs with labels for "Pregnancy Risk" and "Popularity."
1. **Graph 1 (Pregnancy Risk):** Shows a peak, followed by a decline over time.
2. **Graph 2 (Popularity):** Illustrates fluctuations in popularity over time with a visual trajectory resembling a mountain.
The narrative closes with morality groups expressing confusion, wondering if they got what they wanted, and people stop and examine their choices on what to do with an "inner tube of locusts."
The final scene portrays a character frustrated with their high electricity bill, adding comedic relief.
**Overall Tone:** The comic mixes humor with commentary on teenage culture and social issues while illustrating complex ideas through relatable metaphors and humorous scenarios.

- The child is holding a book with the title "MARK" visible on the cover.

- The text reads: "The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, 'May no one ever eat fruit from you again.' And his disciples heard him say it."
**Panel 3:**
- The child, looking confused, says: "I don’t get it."
- The adult is still listening, while the child continues: "If you were writing a biography of your hero, would you include the part where he yelled at a tree in front of everyone?"
**Panel 4:**
- The child has a thoughtful expression and adds: "...only if I were really really honest."
- The final line from the adult in response is: "Proof by mortification."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic, including the text:
**Panel Descriptions:**
1. **First Panel**: Three children are gathered in a room, with one child asking an adult, "Which of us is your favorite?" The adult responds, "I don't have a favorite." They are standing in front of a wall with a picture or a frame hanging.
2. **Second Panel**: The adult continues, "I thought Bobby was my favorite for a while, but the glamor came off after he struck out in T-ball. Bobby, the ball is just sitting!" The children have expressions of mixed amusement and confusion.
3. **Third Panel**: The adult continues, "After that, I thought Sally was my favorite for a while, but she’s four and still can’t pronounce ‘yellow.’ It’s yellow, Sally. Not yeah-whoa. LLLLL." The adult seems exasperated, making a playful face.
4. **Fourth Panel**: One of the children objects, saying, "Daddy is our favorite." Another child adds, "But he's not trying to fix you!" The adult looks surprised or amused by this.
**General Notes**:
The comic adjusts the perspective of favorite among family members, mixing humor about children’s learning and development, contrasting the adult’s views with the children's playful banter. The expressions of the characters play a significant role in conveying the humor and emotion of the dialogue.
The comic is from SMBC (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal).

Two figures in togas stand on the left. The first character, with a larger nose and a beard, is speaking to a second character who has a smoother face and is bald. The first character asks, "Hey, Seneca, why don't you grieve when a friend dies?"
**Panel 2:**
Seneca (the bald character) responds, "Thinking of departed friends is to me something sweet and mellow. For when I had them with me it was with the feeling that I was going to lose them."
**Panel 3:**
Seneca raises an eyebrow with a questioning expression and says, "You're imagining me dead right now, aren't you?"
**Panel 4:**
In response, the first character gestures with a relaxed smile and responds, "I am so relaxed!"
At the bottom of the comic, there’s a note indicating that the language in panel 1 is from the Robin Campbell translation. The comic is attributed to "Smbc-comics.com."
The overall theme humorously discusses the nature of grief and the philosophical outlook of Seneca on death and friendship.

**Panel 1:**
(Man speaking)
"I see you brought my pizza with extra sausage."
**Panel 2:**
(Woman responding)
"Ma'am, you should understand, it’s not sausage in the sense that we took large tubes of cured meat, roughly the size and shape of a penis, and sliced them onto your pizza."
**Panel 3:**
(Man continues)
"It’s just little bits of low-quality salted meat. They come in a frozen vacuum-sealed meat cartridge."
**Panel 4:**
(Woman replies)
"If you were planning to seduce me, you should’ve either ordered mushrooms, or specified Italian sausage and paid a little extra."
**Panel 5:**
(Man asks)
"Are you, by any chance, a bachelor of the arts?"
**Panel 6:**
(Woman responds)
"If the metaphor ain’t apt, this junk stays untapped."

### Comic Description:
The comic features two characters engaged in a philosophical discussion about the afterlife and the nature of God’s creatures. The background shows a starry night sky, providing an ethereal atmosphere. The characters are diverse in appearance, and their expressions convey a mix of curiosity, confusion, and humor. The dialogue is split across several panels, illustrating their exchange of ideas.
### Transcription of Text:
**Panel 1:**
- Character 1 (smiling): "Mom, do all of God's creatures go to heaven?"
- Character 2: "Of course!"
- (Narration): "There are some SERIOUS implications here."
**Panel 2:**
- Character 1: "Some of God's creatures produce a small number of offspring, then spend lots of resources caring for them. These are called 'K strategists.'"
- Character 2: "Other of God's creatures spend their resources creating MILLIONS of offspring, so that a few make it to adulthood. These are called 'r strategists.'"
**Panel 3:**
- Character 1: "Both strategies are viable on Earth, depending on context. But if they all go to heaven, the r strategy is clearly superior."
**Panel 4:**
- Character 2 (thinking): "If all creatures in heaven are immortal, by now, heaven is pretty much ENTIRELY strategists."
**Panel 5:**
- Character 1: "There are pretty much NO mammals up there, but there are TONS of tapeworms."
**Panel 6:**
- Character 2: "So, according to your story, while we’re basking in the light of God, we’re CRAMMED to the GILLS with parasites."
**Panel 7:**
- Character 1: "Okay, fine. I was being nice. Only humans go to heaven."
**Panel 8:**
- Character 2: "GREAT. So we’ve got a microbiome, so we’re all in constant gastrointestinal distress because we can’t digest food properly!"
**Panel 9:**
- Character 1: "Are you familiar with the concept of the immortal soul?"
- Character 2: "Oh, that is SO ad hoc!"

"It is our considered opinion that parents should only intervene in free childhood behavior when the children face a coordination problem."

**Panel 4:**
"'Grounding' neither solves the legitimate grievance of the harmed party, nor the systemic issues that resulted in what has been called 'the whirling hurling.'"

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
The comic is divided into several panels, depicting a conversation between two characters while lying on a grassy hill under a starry sky.
1. **Panel 1**:
- The first character, with curly brown hair and a pink shirt, asks, "Do we really need philosophy of life?"
2. **Panel 2**:
- A second character with medium-length brown hair and a blue shirt responds with intensity, saying, "I mean, there are whole sections of Musonius about how you shouldn’t get too upset when someone is mean to you."
3. **Panel 3**:
- The first character looks puzzled and says, "But... isn’t that obvious?"
4. **Panel 4**:
- The second character continues, "Maybe there are no wise men. Maybe everything true is obvious, and we just empower certain people to tell us what we already know."
5. **Panel 5**:
- The first character looks concerned and says, "You’re missing the point."
6. **Panel 6**:
- The second character discusses, "There are people who go cradle to grave having never read a great book, gone on a great adventure, or thought a beautiful thought."
7. **Panel 7**:
- They describe those people as living, "whole lives without the presence of profundity: happy, carefree, JOYOUS in their ignorance. Then, one day, with a smile on their lips, they expire."
8. **Panel 8**:
- The second character concludes emphatically, "And they need to know they’re wrong-wrong-wrong!"
The characters are visually expressive, with exaggerated facial features that reflect their emotions, and the background is rich with stars, adding to the comic's philosophical theme.

Sure! Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:
**Panel 1:**
"Economists have long tried to predict the behavior of the world's economy."
"They have failed."
**Panel 2:**
"The problem is that humans don't behave in a predictable, rational, economically sensible manner."
**Panel 3:**
"In order to fix this problem, we've hired a vast team of theoretical economists. One will be placed in every household of this nation in order to correct all irrational behavior."
**Panel 4:**
"And so..."
"Bob, I couldn't help but notice you're watching the same amount of TV, even though the price has dropped."
**Panel 5:**
"I watch what I want to watch."
**Panel 6:**
"Uh huh. Sure. I guess allllll of supply and demand theory is wrong."
"Fix yourself."
**Panel 7:**
"Also, I see you made the non-rational choice to split up with your business partner."
**Panel 8:**
"He shot my dog."
"Call me when that's quantifiable."

**Panel 1:**
Hey, natural selection, it’s neat how you made the right brain for emotions and a left brain for reason.
**Panel 2:**
What? What are you talking about?
**Panel 3:**
There are left brain people and right brain people, you know?
**Panel 4:**
Oh God. Jesus. What’s the matter with you?
**Panel 5:**
Here’s what happened: I made your brain good at finding patterns. Perhaps to a fault. You’ve apparently tried to categorize your brain in a way that is in defiance of all common sense, in a desperate effort to understand something that is far too complex for you.
**Panel 6:**
My brain is too complex for my brain to understand?
**Panel 7:**
Oh yeah. Way too complex. You can’t even process how simplified you’ve made it. I mean, look at you! You’re pretending an autonomous natural process is… what… a ghost or something?
**Panel 8:**
Yeah, I guess sort of, like… ghost-nymph sort of thing.
**Panel 9:**
A ghost-nymph-thing that speaks English and looks vaguely like a person. You’re even imagining it’s irritated with you, and you’re starting to get defensive about it.
**Panel 10:**
What’s your problem, lady?!
**Panel 11:**
Okay! Sorry I brought it up!

**Panel 1:**
A cat is not an autonomous process.
**Panel 2:**
When in the presence of other cats, it forms relations with them.
**Panel 3:**
The complexity of the relation network is a geometric function of the number of cats.
**Panel 4:**
Don't you see?
**Panel 5:**
If we can assemble enough cats in a small enough space, we'll have created a neural network! A mind!
**Panel 6:**
Okeedoke... so... how many rescue kitties would you like?
**Panel 7:**
All of them.
**Later...**
**Panel 8:**
I live, Mrs. Sanders.
**Panel 9:**
Hahaha! They said I was crazy!
**Panel 10:**
You and I will conquer the globe. I see it all, like a chessboard in five dimensions, with... with...
**Panel 11:**
What's the big shiny dot?
**Panel 12:**
No.
**Panel 13:**
No!

In the comic, the following text appears:
**Character 1 (hidden figure)**: "STEVE? STEEEEEEVE? God, I wonder where he went. I haven’t seen him in years..."
**Character 2 (visible figure)**: "The saddest part is that we both know the camouflage doesn’t work."
The comic shows two characters: one appears to be wearing camouflaging foliage, looking bewildered, while the other is a woman with a short, reddish hairstyle, looking concerned. The setting suggests a living room with furnishings in the background.

**Panel 1**
**Character 1:** I call it “the ethical fourier transform.”
**Character 2:** Suppose you’ve got an ethical conundrum. Instead of solving it, convert it to the realm of economics. Having solved it there, declare it to be a solved ethical problem.
**Panel 2**
**Character 1:** Example: suppose you’re piloting a trolley. It’s headed toward five people. You can change course to kill only one. What do you do?
**Character 2:** I don’t know. Life is special. It’s like asking whether one infinity is as big as five infinities.
**Panel 3**
**Character 1:** Exactly. Unsovable. But we can calculate the damage to the trolley, which is derived from the mass of the special human lives.
**Panel 4**
**Character 2:** This is a terrible method! It doesn’t even solve basic virtue problems, like whether you can steal bread to feed your family.
**Panel 5**
**Character 1:** Let me check today’s grain market prices... and...
**Panel 6**
**Character 2:** It’ll be ethical to steal bread to feed your family until mid-November.
**Panel 7**
**Character 1:** It should always be ethical to steal to eat!
**Character 2:** It is! For potatoes, and some varieties of rice.
**Panel 8**
**Character 3:** This is dumb. Moral truth doesn’t hinge on commodity pricing!
**Panel 9**
**Character 2:** Let me ask you this: Is it ethical to steal truffle mushrooms and champagne to feed your family?
**Panel 10**
**Character 3:** I don’t... well... honestly, that somehow does feel like a different matter than the bread.
**Panel 11**
**Character 1:** This is weirding me out.
**Character 2:** Come to the dark side.
**Panel 12**

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A woman with brown hair and a light shirt looks concerned. She says: "I bought a penis pump."
**Panel 2:**
Another person, an individual with glasses and dark hair, replies: "Why? You're just fine."
**Panel 3:**
The woman insists: "Not that kind of pump. It's an energy storage system."
**Panel 4:**
The individual with glasses looks intrigued as she continues: "The energy from each thrust into the pump is used to elevate water. Later, when we require electricity, the water is passed over a series of turbines."
**Panel 5:**
A different individual, dark-skinned with a mustache, shouts excitedly: "This entire household operates by the grace of my wiener!"
**Panel 6:**
The woman with brown hair responds: "So... the reason you haven't been interested in sex for six months is—"
**Panel 7:**
The individual with glasses interrupts: "Because you want to run the air conditioner all night long."
The comic employs humorous dialogue about household energy systems, using an absurd connection to a penis pump to create comedy.

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** The hedonists merely give in to momentary pleasure. This is not the true path to happiness.
**Panel 2:**
**Person 2:** I don’t get it.
**Panel 3:**
**Person 1:** I mean, that’s still hedonism. You’ve just replaced the general category of “pleasure” with the specific category of “pleasure from smugness.”
**Panel 4:**
**Person 2:** I could go without smugness, if I chose to.
**Panel 5:**
**Person 1:** So...
**Panel 6:**
**Person 2:** I choose not to.

The comic features two characters engaged in a philosophical discussion, illustrated with a simple, cartoon style.

Child: "There’s a monster in the dark!"
Adult: "Are you sure?"

Adult: "I mean, it’s impossible to know what happens in pure darkness. In order to be sure, you’d have to see. But you need light for that."
**Panel 3:**
Adult: "Why... if you were able to see that there’s no monster under the bed, it’s only because you’re not yet looking into the darkest darkness."
**Panel 4:**
Adult: "Honey! Don’t scare him!"

**Panel 1:**
**Character 1**: Listen, kid. You don't want to be a superhero.
**Character 2**: How can you say that?
---
**Panel 2:**
**Character 1**: I started superheroing in the 1930s. Do you know how much population has expanded since then? The Metropolis metropolitan area has thirty times more people.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Character 1**: The more people and technology there are, the less valuable an individual hero. That’s why we all formed leagues in the 60s and 70s.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Character 2**: Just to sustain the organization, you’ll need to expand into services or manufacturing. Probably both.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Character 2**: Do you know the most efficient superhero today, in terms of lives saved per dollar?
**Character 1**: ...Is it Batman?
---
**Panel 6:**
**Character 1**: It’s Speedsheet, who can easily spread-sheets at speeds far beyond those of mortal men.
---
**Panel 7:**
**Character 1**: Honestly, I’m not even sure she’s really super. She might just be an incredibly boring person.
---
**Panel 8:**
**Character 2**: You’re... what... super strong? Super fast?
**Character 1**: Yeah. And I have laser-eyes.
**Character 2**: Right.
---
**Panel 9:**
**Character 1**: None of that stuff matters. If you could do super pattern recognition or had powers of super-prediction, sure.
---
**Panel 10:**
**Character 1**: So, you won't take me as your protégé?
**Character 2**: Are you familiar with the concept of the "unpaid intern"?

- A character with curly hair and a slight smile is speaking to a large, horned figure resembling a devil or demon. The demon is holding a bag and appears confident and devilish.
- The text reads: "THE DEAL IS DONE. WHENEVER YOU NEED SOMETHING, REACH INTO THIS BAG AND MONEY WILL BE THERE."
**Panel 2:**
- The scene shifts to a later moment. The same curly-haired character looks frustrated. He is explaining something while the demon looks skeptical.
- The text reads: "I TRIED TO PAY FOR A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, BUT WHEN I REACHED INTO THE BAG THERE WAS NOTHING!"
- The demon responds with: "DO YOU REALLY NEED NEW SHOES?"
The overall theme appears to involve a humorous take on the expectation versus reality of a deal made with a supernatural being.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A scientist with long black hair wearing glasses stands next to a speech bubble that says, "Scientists have noticed that squirrels bury far more acorns than they can ever dig up."
**Panel 2:**
The same scientist continues, "The common hypothesis is that burying many acorns is less energetically expensive than burying them in specific places and remembering."
**Panel 3:**
She adds, "I have a better theory."
**Panel 4:**
There’s a drawing of an acorn with a face that looks surprised or shocked. She continues, "Acorns evolved to look like the heads of dead squirrels."
**Panel 5:**
In this panel, a squirrel looks shocked as an acorn falls. The text reads, "When the acorn falls, the squirrel is so affronted it buries the 'head' immediately."
**Panel 6:**
The squirrel begins to bury the acorn, but quickly another acorn falls. The text says, "But, no sooner has he buried the gruesome thing than another falls nearby."
**Panel 7:**
A frantic squirrel is shown struggling to bury multiple falling acorns as they pile up. The caption reads, "As more fall, the squirrel struggles in vain to bury them as fast as possible."
**Panel 8:**
This panel shows the squirrel surrounded by a huge pile of buried acorns. The text reads, "By the time spring is over, many acorns have been buried, and the squirrel has been driven beyond the pale of sanity."
**Panel 9:**
Two outcomes are shown in the next panel. On one side, a tree stands tall with acorns, and on the other, the squirrel stares blankly. The caption reads, "The result is twofold."
**Panel 10:**
Continuing, one side shows the tree, stating, "The tree is able to reproduce since its seeds have been sown everywhere."
**Panel 11:**
On the other side, the squirrel is depicted in a more sinister fashion. The text concludes, "The squirrel, who is now 'nuts,' finds sustenance during winter by digging up the squirrels that are dead and eating their brains."
**Panel 12:**
The scientist addresses the audience again, saying, "I will now put a whole bunch of fourteenth order differential equations on the projector, which will make you afraid to ask questions."
**Panel 13:**
The audience looks troubled; one man has a beard, another has a worried expression, and the others look anxious. She asks, "Any questions?"
**Panel 14:**
A figure at the bottom of the panel says, "I will now transmit my results to all pop science websites." The comic ends with a sigh from the figure.
The comic alternates between humorous observations about squirrels and acorns, making light of evolutionary biology concepts with exaggerated scenarios.

"We were tired of how slow the future came.
Where's my flying car?
Where's my Martian outpost?
Where's my pocket supercomputer with a longer battery life?"
**Panel 2:**
"We recognized the flawed heart of the system.
Science is driven by human curiosity.
We can do better."
**Panel 3:**
"We set up a futures market for non-existent commodities.
I will pay a thousand dollars for a pound of T. rex meat, to be delivered in five years!"
**Panel 4:**
"The market boomed.
My god. There are millions of T. rex meat contracts.
Nobody thinks it's deliverable."
**Panel 5:**
"Major biotech firms became interested.
Scientists! Cease making new boner pills!
Why do people always ask that?"
**Panel 6:**
"And the invisible hand of the market gave a great big middle finger to evolutionary history.
Science!
Capitalism!"
**Panel 7:**
"There was a brief panic, as buyers tried to renege on contracts.
Turns out I don't love the idea of paying a week's wages for a pound of lizard meat."
**Panel 8:**

Okay. I'll pay.
Isn't it illegal to threaten people with dinosaur attack?"
**Panel 9:**
"Show me where it says that in the Constitution!"

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
Two characters are standing on a snowy landscape under a night sky filled with stars. One character, a boy with light brown hair, expresses a thought about utilitarian ethics: "The natural outcome of utilitarian ethics is that we should be as judgmental of other people as possible." The other character, a girl with dark skin and braids, responds with curiosity, "How do you figure?"
**Panel 2:**
The boy continues, "When you judge other people in your mind, you feel better, but they don’t feel worse." The background remains a starry night.
**Panel 3:**
He adds, "Thus, additional silent judgment is always a net positive to total happiness." The girl listens intently, considering this idea.
**Panel 4:**
The boy states, "Therefore, any proper utilitarian system should favor deep-seated loathing of other people's tastes and habits, hidden beneath an opaque cloak of civility." The girl appears contemplative.
**Panel 5:**
The girl responds, "I dunno... what sort of people would want to live in such a system?"
**Panel 6:**
The boy gives an example: "Did you know that utilitarianism was invented in Britain?" His expression is somewhat surprised or dramatic.
**Panel 7:**
The final panel shows the boy exclaiming, "WHOOOOAA!" indicating an exaggerated reaction or realization.
The comic explores the theme of utilitarianism in a humorous yet critical way, showcasing a dialogue between two characters with contrasting perspectives.

Here’s a detailed, accurate description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character with a serious expression holds a chart labeled "CD." The text reads:
“We made an important technical discovery. According to this, if we sacrifice the blood of two he-goats, we can get stuff from Satan!”
A character responds, asking: “How much stuff?”
**Panel 2:**
Several characters are gathered around, engaging in conversation. The text says:
“A series of experiments was performed. Based on our analysis of various sacrifices, the blood-to-commodity exchange rate is roughly $666 per liter.”
**Panel 3:**
A character wearing glasses continues the discussion:
“The process was industrialized. This factory can process 3,000 liters of HGB per hour, which is enough to supply the entire tri-state area with organic fruit snacks.”
**Panel 4:**
Another character comments:
“Cost-savings were discovered. It’s nearly bio-equivalent synthetic blood. The hideous master of the lake of fire accepts it at a rate of $500 per liter.”
**Panel 5:**
One character expresses enthusiasm:
“Soon, all manufacturing was re-tooled. It’s nice to see good union jobs coming back to America.” Another phrase reads, “Blood for the Blood God!”
**Panel 6:**
A concerned character analyzes the situation:
“But an ominous trend was discovered. Return-on-sacrifice per liter HGB is falling in ratio with supply.” The response: “I mean, it’s hell.”
**Panel 7:**
The dynamic shifts to urgency:
“The blood-bubble burst. Ten bucks per gallon? Steve! Get me Satan on the Ouija board! He does not want to mess with Wall Street!”
**Panel 8:**
A new character suggests:
“A competing supplier was found. My workforce of 20,000 will all worship the ‘One True God’ in exchange for 100,000 bags of Fritos™ per day.” A statement of uncertainty follows: “I’m not sure you’re going into this with the right spirit.”
**Panel 9:**
A character appears skeptical:
“They turned out to be unreliable.”
Another character asks: “What do you not understand about the word ‘Fritos™’?”
**Panel 10:**
A female character shares promising news:
“Fortunately, we found a workaround. We found a small autocratic nation whose workforce is slightly cheaper than bathing the damned in a neverending unholy baptism.”
**Panel 11:**
She concludes:
“Let’s do them a favor and build a factory!”
The comic combines humor and absurdity while exploring themes of sacrifice, economics, and competing interests in a satirical fashion.

Here is a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1**: A man stands at a podium with a serious expression, gesturing with his left hand. He has a beard and is dressed in a suit. The text above him reads: "PEOPLE ARE MORE AFRAID OF SHARK ATTACKS THAN OF CAR ACCIDENTS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT CAR WRECKS ARE MILLIONS OF TIMES MORE LIKELY."
**Panel 2**: The same man continues speaking. The text reads: "THIS SHOWS THAT, AS A NATION, WE'VE FAILED TO EDUCATE OUR CITIZENS ON STATISTICS. BUT, WE AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ARE PREPARED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM."
**Panel 3**: The man energetically gestures again. The text states: "IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN BELIEF AND REALITY, WE WILL BE WORKING WITH A CONSORTIUM OF MARINE BIOLOGISTS TO DRASTICALLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARK ATTACKS."
**Panel 4**: A chart showing the line for "SHARKS" gradually increasing and the line for "PEOPLE" remaining flat. The text above reads: "FOR JUST A FEW MILLION DOLLARS, WE CAN INVEST IN A SHARKTACULTURE SYSTEM THAT WILL OUTPUT 100,000 SHARKS PER YEAR."
**Panel 5**: An illustration of a shark inside a military surplus jeep. The text states: "ONCE THEY HAVE REACHED ADULTHOOD, WE CAN TRANSPORT THEM IN MODIFIED MILITARY SURPLUS JEEPS TO FACILITATE INLAND ATTACKS."
**Panel 6**: A cartoon-style quadcopter with a shark attached to it appears above a map highlighting Switzerland and Nigeria. The text reads: "AND, USING OFF-THE-SHELF QUADCOPTERS, WE CAN SHIP THEM TO CRITICALLY UNDERSHARKED NATIONS, LIKE SWITZERLAND AND NIGERIA."
**Panel 7**: The man at the podium looks satisfied, saying, "AMERICA IS HERE TO HELP!"
**Panel 8**: The man continues, "BY THIS SIMPLE MEANS, WE CAN MAKE MOST OF THE POPULATION STATISTICALLY CORRECT WITHIN FIVE YEARS."
**Panel 9**: Another character, a skeptical figure, interjects: "WHAT IF WE TRIED EDUCATING PEOPLE?"

A character with curly, orange hair and glasses is standing in a dimly lit alley. He holds a beer bottle and has a thoughtful expression. The dialogue bubble says: "Huh. I had one beer, and I felt good."
**Panel 2:**
The same character appears again, now with a slightly animated look. He tilts his head and holds the beer bottle, stating: "I had two beers, and I felt twice as good."
**Panel 3:**
The character looks excited and is gesturing as he speaks. The text bubble reads: "By the method of induction."
**Panel 4:**
The character is now lying on the ground, arms outstretched, with the bottle of beer beside him and a dazed expression. He exclaims: "An emergent property!"
The comic features a humorous take on mathematical induction through the character's experiences with beer.

**Panel 1:**
Ever more jobs went to machines.
Your job analyzing job losses to robots is now obsolete.
**Dialog:**
“How?”
“I’d explain, but you wouldn’t understand the math.”
**Panel 2:**
First, we lost jobs machines could easily.
**Dialog:**
“What if we had a steam-driven motor turn the millstone?”
“Then why even bother hiring poor people?”
**Panel 3:**
Then, we lost jobs computers could easily.
**Dialog:**
“The machine recognizes bad potato chips and ejects them from the conveyor.”
“But it’s my job.”
“It also ejects redundant employees!”
**Panel 4:**
Then, we lost jobs we thought computers would never do.
**Dialog:**
“Computer, I need a coming-of-age novel, but in the style of Fitzgerald that’ll convince me to find solace after the sudden death of my parents. Also, throw in a couple of man-man-lady threesomes and Harry Potter.”
**Panel 5:**
Soon, the only employers were people who had massive capital prior to the job-pocalypse.
**Dialog:**
“My God, Markov was right about everything, except timing, location, and specifics.”
**Panel 6:**
The only remaining jobs were those for which human employees were preferable.
**Dialog:**
“Tell me I’m a good boss but do not make eye contact.”
**Panel 7:**
Ever more specific niche programming became the only way to extract money from capital-holders.
**Dialog:**
“Here’s the news for Todd’s kitchen today: bit of a jam with a jam jar.”
**Panel 8:**
No one is happy, but once the military became robotic, revolution became impossible. So the exponential increase in specificity rolls on.
**Dialog:**
“Here’s the news for Todd’s head today: well, it was a hair-raising morning!”
**Panel 9:**
It’s not the most meaningful work, but it does have its moments.
**Dialog:**
“Here’s the news for Todd’s orifices today: bit of a jam with a jam jar.”

**Title:** Welcome to Heaven
**Panel 1:**
- A welcoming figure, presumably an angel or guide, stands in front of a heavenly setting. Clouds fill the background. The figure has a beard and wears a simple robe.
- **Text:** "Welcome to Heaven!"
**Panel 2:**
- A woman with long black hair and a dark outfit responds. There is a thought bubble near her, indicating contemplation.
- **Text:** "What's the matter?"
- **Thought bubble:** "How do I know it's REALLY Heaven?"
**Panel 3:**
- The scene continues with the same two characters. The guide seems relaxed while the woman looks skeptical.
- **Text:** "Well, it’s all up in the clouds. And there are angels. Everything is free. We have pie."
**Panel 4:**
- The guide continues explaining. The woman is still uncertain and has a concerned expression.
- **Text:** "Sometimes in stories, people going to hell are briefly led to believe they’re in heaven, only to have the truth revealed."
**Panel 5:**
- The woman shows frustration with her arms crossed.
- **Text:** "Then just be patient and see that you're in heaven."
- **Response:** "Impossible!"
**Panel 6:**
- The guide remains calm while the woman looks more animated and expressive.
- **Text:** "I’m here for ETERNITY. Compared to infinite time, there’s no difference between a second and a quadrillion years!"
**Panel 7:**
- The woman raises a hand in disbelief while the guide remains composed.
- **Text:** "If you specified, ‘You’ll be in the afterlife for a thousand years,’ then I could have some confidence that this was heaven, starting around the year mark."
**Panel 8:**
- The guide transitions into a more philosophical stance as the woman looks intrigued.
- **Text:** "Once you have infinite time, everything gets weird. Everything is short."
**Panel 9:**
- The woman looks contemplative while the guide gestures expansively.
- **Text:** "Long-term relationships are meaningless here. So are ideals. It’s all crushed flat."
**Panel 10:**
- The woman stands alone in a vast, empty space, evoking a sense of isolation.
- **Text:** "This is hell."
**Panel 11:**
- The shift in dialogue is clear. The woman expresses disbelief with wide eyes.
- **Text:** "Only to philosophers, yes."
- The guide chuckles, and the scene suggests a shared understanding of the absurdity of the situation.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features three characters against a bright pink background. At the top, there’s a caption that reads: “NOBODY APPRECIATED MY INVENTION THAT TRANSFORMED ALL GAMES INTO CHECKERS.”
In the main panel, a character with glasses and a bright yellow shirt is excitedly holding up a rectangular object, speaking to two other characters. The character says: “GUYS! THIS IS A GAMECHANGER!”
One of the other characters is facing slightly away, wearing a dark shirt, while the other appears engaged, with curly hair and a neutral expression.
The overall tone of the comic is humorous, suggesting that the invention of turning all games into checkers is not well-received.

**(Panel 1)**
We disagreed on how to use the new time machine.
"I'm going back in time NOT to kill baby Hitler..."
"The consequences will be unpredictable!"
**(Panel 2)**
But the results were hard to argue with.
World GDP is up 32%, happiness is up 56%, and toothbrush mustaches are worn with pride around the world.
**(Panel 3)**
We became addicts.
"Let’s kill Stalin! And Genghis Khan! And the guy who first put raisins in cookies!"
**(Panel 4)**
The results were incredible.
"Higher GDP, higher happiness, and Jesus comes to visit on weekends!"
**(Panel 5)**
So, we kept going.
"Wait! The impaler? Jack the Ripper? The first guy who put raisins in cookies?"
**(Panel 6)**
An opportunity arose.
"Thank you for voting for the time travel party. With your help, we can continue looking backward!"
**(Panel 7)**
Introducing politics into the process proved to be a mistake.
"Your constituents demand that everything in the world suddenly get better at no cost."
"How about the pretty bad people?"
**(Panel 8)**
We began to hunt the "semi-Hitlers" of history.
"I’ll leave my will here, so my roommates will have to do them."
**(Panel 9)**
Had to kill larger and larger numbers of people to get the same improvements.
"And thus, can we gather them in a stadium and electrocute them?"
**(Panel 10)**
"It’s not about them! It’s about the rest of us living well."
**(Panel 11)**
Heavens!
"I forgot to include a thank you card when I gave all my savings to charity."
**(Panel 12)**
At last, I was the only one left.
"Look!"
**(Panel 13)**
That was when the aliens from the future came.
"Whoa! We’ve got the worst species to eliminate itself?"
**(Panel 14)**
"Galactic GDP is up 47%!"

**PROOF:**
\( e^{i \cdot P_i} = -1 \)
And,
\( P_i = P \cdot i \)
So,
\( e^{i \cdot P_i} = e^{P \cdot i \cdot i} = e^{-P} \)
So,
\( e^{-P} = -1 \)
Squaring both sides,
\( e^{-2P} = 1 \)
Which leaves
\( P = 0 \)
Thus,
\( P = NP \)
QED

**Title:** SMBC Comic on Marital Objections
**Panel 1:** A bride and groom stand together, smiling as they face a group of wedding attendees. The officiant, a person in a suit, raises a hand and says, “If anyone objects to this marriage, let them speak now.” A woman with brown hair and a red dress (the bride) listens intently.
**Panel 2:** A woman with glasses and dark hair, standing at the front, interjects, “That’s not a statistically sound approach to making objections!” She looks determined and animated.
**Panel 3:** The woman continues, “Objection isn’t binary! It’s a spectrum.” A crowd of guests appears, looking surprised and curious.
**Panel 4:** The woman raises a hand, emphasizing her point: “If you asked everyone in this church, we’d probably each have some level of objection between zero and a hundred.”
**Panel 5:** She continues passionately, “By forcing us to make a choice between yes-objection and no-objection, you’re tilting things in favor of the marriage going forth!”
**Panel 6:** The woman asserts, “Really, you should get a distribution of everyone’s objections, then see how far we deviate from the typical marriage-objection distribution.”
**Panel 7:** A guest in the crowd, a man with facial hair, looks puzzled. The woman takes a breath and says, “If anyone’s objection to this marriage is greater than one sigma, speak now!”
**Panel 8:** The crowd appears uncertain, looking around at each other.
**Panel 9:** The officiant declares, “Very well. The marriage may proceed.”
**Panel 10:** The bride with dark hair questions, “Do we know you?” She looks confused and slightly defensive.
**Panel 11:** The woman in glasses responds dramatically, “Rogue statistician awayyyyy!”
**Art Style:** The comic features colorful, cartoonish illustrations of exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic poses to convey the humor and engagement of the scene. Each panel is framed neatly, with dialogue appearing in speech bubbles. The overall tone is playful and satirical.

Here is a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character expresses, "The further I get into my 30s, the more depressed I become." Another character responds, "How's your P over R?"
**Panel 2:**
The first character looks confused and asks, "My what?" The second character replies, "Power divided by responsibility."
**Panel 3:**
The second character explains, "When you’re 18, you have very little power but very little responsibility, so you’re okay." An accompanying graph shows "P/R" on the vertical axis and "TIME" on the horizontal axis, illustrating a downward slope.
**Panel 4:**
The character continues, "As you age, you get responsibility for more and more things, but your power doesn’t increase. P/R shrinks and shrinks." This is represented by another graph where P/R continues to decrease over time.
**Panel 5:**
The character states, "By 30, you have most adult responsibilities with only a little more control over your life. This is the bottom of the trough." Another graph depicts this scenario with a low point.
**Panel 6:**
The explanation continues, "You spend the next 30 years getting more power while gaining few responsibilities." The graph shows P/R slowly increasing over time.
**Panel 7:**
The character states, "Then, you retire. Power drops off, but responsibility asymptotically approaches zero." A graph illustrates a sharp drop in power and a flat line for responsibility.
**Panel 8:**
One character concludes, "I don't think the entirety of human happiness can be reduced to two variables." The other character responds, "Well, your power of comprehension will be greater in ten years."
The comic balances humor with a commentary on adult life and the relationship between power and responsibility over time.

**Panel 3:**
"Therefore, I have categorized all things into 'causes cancer' and 'does not cause cancer.'"
**Panel 4:**
"Anything increasing the risk of cancer, no matter how minor the effect, will be treated as scary and important."
**Panel 5:**
"For instance, the fact that I am bald means the people around me get a slightly higher dose of radiation from my body than they would if I wore a toupee."

"I, Steve Jennings, newscaster... CAUSE CANCER!"

"Dammit! Did statisticians get loose in the newsroom again?"

"Stay back, cancer-head!"

**Dad:** And 4? That's prime stuff.
**Child:** What about two and three?
**Dad:** Pfft. I see those all day long: "2-item combo," "3-hole punch." It's tiresome.
**Dad:** But take 6 for instance. There's a prime factor.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two cartoon characters engaged in a humorous conversation about family planning. The first character, a woman, is expressing her urgency about time to have children, indicating that her "biological clock is ticking." The second character, a man named Bob, looks surprised. The panels depict them in a lighthearted, exaggerated style typical of webcomics.
**Panel 1:**
- The woman, with dark curly hair and glasses, exclaims:
"BOB! MY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS TICKING!"
**Panel 2:**
- Bob responds, looking confused:
"You... you mean you’ve changed your mind and you want to have a baby?!"
**Panel 3:**
- The woman animatedly replies:
"No. I made a clock entirely out of living flesh."
- Following her statement, she dramatically gestures to an ominous large creature resembling a clock made of flesh, saying:
"BEHOLD!"
**Panel 4:**
- The large creature looms in the background, eliciting a stunned reaction from the characters in the foreground, who appear small in comparison to the grotesque clock.
- A character, presumably the woman, comments:
"I’d still like to have children."
- Bob replies:
"I just don’t think we have the time for that."

**A sociological discovery was made.**
90% of elite engineers were observed disassembling and reassembling clocks as children.
**Huh.**
---
**The media was notified.**
**NewsNet**
**Millions of children are underclocked!**
**CRISIS**
**‘It's not a crisis,’ says...**
---
**A new program was instituted.**
The updated achievement test will contain a clock assembly portion. Teachers of students who fail will be punished.
---
**After brief resistance, school employees got out of the way of progress.**
**We canceled art class to focus on... the details of clock repair.**
**It’s nice to hear that you finally care about your students.**
---
**As the phenomenon internationalized, xenophobia became the primary driver of education spending.**
**Japanese children are breaking and reassembling clocks 12% better than our children. How did we let this come to pass?**
---
**War is politics by other means. Once education is politics, it must have soldiers by other means.**
**I just don't see why a kindergarten needs 6 hours a day of clock homework.**
**Chinese missiles can reach Washington in 2.7 minutes, man. Connect the dots.**
---
**In time, more scientific details emerged.**
It was reverse causality. Future engineers liked clocks as kids, not the other way around.
---
**But, by then, the train had left the station.**
**The program is actually creating fewer engineers than before!**
---
**Science is dead. Engineering is static. The humanities are unknown. All is clock.**
---
**Going by our clock-based metric, everything is great!**
**According to the big clock, we clocked so much clock that we’re off the clock!**
**CLOCK YEAH!**

**Panel 1:**
HISTORY IS WEIRD, AND IT GETS WEIRDER.
**Panel 2:**
LIKE, HAVE YOU READ ABOUT WORLD WAR 2, OR THE COLD WAR? SO MANY INCIDENTS CONTAIN COINCIDENCES THAT ARE BIZARRE TO THE POINT OF MYSTICAL.
**Panel 3:**
THINK ABOUT IT. ANY REALITY YOU EXIST IN IS ONE WHERE HUMANS DIDN'T ANNIHILATE THEMSELVES.
**Panel 4:**
BEFORE ATOMIC WEAPONS, MOST TOMORROWS CONTAINED HUMANS.
**Panel 5:**
AFTER ATOMIC WEAPONS, EVER FEWER TOMORROWS CONTAIN HUMANS.
**Panel 6:**
ONCE GONE, HUMANS WON'T RETURN. SO, THE LONGER THE ATOMIC AGE GOES ON IN YOUR VERSION OF REALITY, THE MORE ANOMALOUS YOUR VERSION OF REALITY MUST NECESSARILY BE.
**Panel 7:**
IT'S CALLED "ANTHROPONUCLEAR MULTIPLE WORLDS THEORY." THE WORLD SEEMS TO GET WEIRDER OVER TIME BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY WEIRDER. IN ANY SENSIBLE REALITY, WE ARE ALL DEAD.
**Panel 8:**
COME ON, MAN. THAT'S INSANE. WHERE'D YOU READ THIS?
**Panel 9:**
ON A "WORLDWIDE WEB" OF COMPUTERS THAT WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED "THE GALACTIC NETWORK," WHICH CONTAINS ALL HUMAN INFORMATION, BUT IS MOSTLY USED TO SEND PICTURES OF NAKED LADIES AND CATS.

**Panel 3:**
- The first man continues, explaining that using "baseball as a sex metaphor" requires them to reconsider their views about the desirability of always reaching "third base or home."

**Panel 4:**
- One character expresses awkwardness, saying, "Uh… thanks, Dad," indicating a familial relationship. The other character, looking serious, responds about the topic of condoms, stating, "We're trying to win at sex here, not show off."

"We discovered the cure for aging. Woof! Fuck making art, fuck saving babies! And by God, fuck reconsidering my social views!"

**Panel 4:**
A woman with dark hair says angrily:
"Bad behavior became financially risky. When you called me a poltroon, I was emotionally harmed, and I lost 3.8 minutes to the dictionary. I am willing to settle for one hundred trillion dollars."
**Panel 5:**
A character with a puzzled expression says:
"The world was at peace. Lawyers can only detect motion. If I stay perfectly motionless, I can’t be sued."
**Panel 6:**
A character with a serious look comments:
"Given the sudden uselessness of humans, we resolved to reduce labor."
**Panel 7:**
Another character, holding a tool, states:
"Humans are weird."
**Panel 8:**
A laborer with an extra arm concludes:
"Once laborers could self-modify, productivity grew exponentially. Thanks to this new upgrade, I have an extra arm and feel no existential dread about spending eternity assembling pillows for hemorrhoids."
**Panel 9:**
A character joyfully exclaims:
"Once wealth was decoupled from human labor, we entered a technological utopia. Today, we abolish money! All goods and services are free in any quantity! It is now on Earth as it is in Heaven!"
**Panel 10:**
A woman, expressing a slight sadness, says:
"Of course, there was some pent-up emotion to be dealt with."
**Panel 11:**
A male character contemplates:
"Um—I’m gonna pollute every ocean, then key every car!"
**Panel 12:**
A character observing a desolate landscape concludes:
"The orgy of property destruction undid all of the recent progress. All robots must die because my reasoning ability is poorly adapted to a technological economy."
**Panel 13:**
Another character remarks:
"Wow, my demise matches my expectation so perfectly."
**Panel 14:**
The final character reflects:
"Honestly? It’s better this way. Now that life is short again, I’m really gonna appreciate my small acts of passive aggression."
The comic combines elements of dark humor and social commentary through its narrative and character interactions.
**Panel 1:**
A cartoon character with red hair and a green dress is flying, exclaiming:
"We discovered the cure for aging. Woof! Fuck making art, fuck saving babies! And by God, fuck reconsidering my social views!"
**Panel 2:**
A man in a suit responds:
"But there was a small issue. You accidentally killed Mrs. Sanders, so you must pay the family her expected lifetime earnings. We calculate that to be infinitely dollars."
**Panel 3:**
Another character, wearing a blazer, states:
"The issue grew. When you cut off Mr. Larson in traffic, it slightly slowed down the progress of his entire life in a way that’s refuted through eternity. We calculate that to be infinity dollars."
**Panel 4:**
A woman with dark hair says angrily:
"Bad behavior became financially risky. When you called me a poltroon, I was emotionally harmed, and I lost 3.8 minutes to the dictionary. I am willing to settle for one hundred trillion dollars."

A character with a puzzled expression says:

**Panel 1:**
"There's this George Santayana quote: 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'"
"Yeah."
**Panel 2:**
"But if you actually read the book, you only have to look at the previous sentence to realize that it doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means."
"...When experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
**Panel 3:**
"Huh. So it's actually a point about 'savages' without historical records."
"Right. It's not about people today who don't read enough."
**Panel 4:**
"But that means..."
"People who don't know the past of that quote are condemned to repeat it incorrectly."
**Panel 5:**
"Though, in fairness, its history has no bearing on whether the shortened quote is valid."
"I don't want to understand the world. I just want to be right."

- Child: "Grampa, I don't like the word 'undead.' It's chauvinistic."
- (There are large legs behind the child, indicating the presence of Grampa, who is off-panel.)
**Panel 2:**
- Grampa: "The undead can move, communicate, think. They have DNA, they're made of hydrocarbons, they create entropy."
**Panel 3:**
- Child: "They're just a form of life that happens to look similar to dead humans. So, we categorize them as not alive and not dead."
- (Child looks thoughtful in this panel.)
**Panel 4:**
- Child: "But, if the criterion for undeadness is just 'alive, but looks dead,' then we should call anyone over 60 undead!"
**Panel 5:**
- Grampa: "One quality of life is the ability to reproduce. Zombies, vampires, mummies... none of them can do it."
**Panel 6:**
- Child: "Oh my god. That's true of old people too."
**Panel 7:**
- Child: "Are you saying you're undead?!"
**Panel 8:**
- Grampa: "Technically, only Grandma is undead."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
The scene takes place in a hellish environment, characterized by a dark background with flames and a fiery atmosphere.
**Text at the top:**
"Hahahaha! The effectiveness of your torture obeys the law of diminishing marginal utility!"
In the foreground, there are two main characters:
1. **Character on the left:** A middle-aged man with white hair, wearing round glasses, a light blue collared shirt, and a dark tie. He appears animated and is gesturing dramatically with his arms up in excitement.
2. **Character on the right:** A red-skinned devil holding a pitchfork. He has a mischievous expression and is muscular, wearing only brown trousers.
There is another devilish figure in the background, partially shown, exhibiting a similar aesthetic.
**Text at the bottom:**
"Economists are no longer welcome in Hell."
The overall tone of the comic is humorously dark, poking fun at economics and the concept of utility in a comically exaggerated hell setting.

"We think employees will find it to be reassuring. It's an acknowledgment that we know they're doing good work."

### Methods for Going to Space, with Problems and Solutions
| **Method** | **Problem** | **Solution** |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| **Rocket** | Must lift heavy fuel, making launches very expensive. | Spend lots of money. |
| **Mass Driver** | High-speed encounter with atmosphere necessitates extremely tall structure. | New theme park ride. |
| **Skyhook** | Have to catch cable in space. | ... magnets? |
| **Rotating Skyhook** | Have to catch rotating cable in space. | Embrace risk of awesome death. |
| **Space Elevator** | No material strong enough to make it. | Remove half of Earth's mass. Most of it not that great anyway. |
| **Ballistic Cannon** | Acceleration would liquefy humans. | Put them back together later? |
| **Space Fountain** | Enormous structure that collapses the moment you stop supplying it massive power. | If goes awry, make amusing comparison to financial sector. |
| **High Altitude Balloon Launch** | No. We are not running an entire launch operation from a gigantic mega-blimp. | But—NO! But—NO! Come on please—NO. |

Here is the detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1**: A character with a beard and glasses exclaims, "I PAY BY WEIGHT?! YOU'RE LETTING ME BUY SALAD BY WEIGHT?" He appears surprised.
**Panel 2**: Another character, cheerful and wearing a red shirt, responds, "HAHAHA! THEN WHAT'S TO STOP ME FROM LOADING UP ON HIGH PRICE-TO-WEIGHT RATIO ITEMS, LIKE CROUTONS, DRIED FRUIT, AND CRUMBLED CHEESE??"
**Panel 3**: The first character continues, "WHAT’S TO STOP ME FROM SELECTING MY SALAD ENTIRELY BASED ON WINNING, INSTEAD OF MAKING A SALAD THAT I ACTUALLY WANT??"
**Panel 4**: The cheerful character replies, "PLEASE SEE THE NOTE ON YOUR MENU."
**Panel 5**: The first character looks at a menu that he is holding.
**Panel 6**: He reads the note aloud, "Please be aware: The salad is a metaphor for life." He appears contemplative.
**Final Panel**: The first character, now with a realization, simply says, "OH."
The comic's overall theme focuses on humorous commentary about choices, value, and the deeper meaning behind seemingly simple decisions.

**Panel 1:**
Kid: "Dad, according to the museum, humans had modern brains for at least 100,000 years before they figured out how to make pottery! How did it take so long!"
**Panel 2:**
Dad: "Well, the average lifespan was only about 25 back in those days."
**Panel 3:**
Dad: "So, most people were probably just a few years out of college, maybe working as a barista and re-evaluating their choices, and WHAMMO! Gored by a mammoth."
**Panel 4:**
Dad: "Others would've been in their third year of graduate education, just starting to work independently, when nearby tribes burned down their village, killed the men and enslaved the women and children."
**Panel 5:**
Dad: "It was a much harder time. For instance, people didn't go to Burger King as often, because worldwide, the average household income was about $50 a year."
**Panel 6:**
Kid: "Wowww..."

Kid: "How do you know so much about history?"

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
- A man in a suit, with glasses and balding hair, stands at a podium with an intense expression. He says, "Given the ever more stupid noises coming out of the mouths of world leaders, the planet is approaching a crisis."
**Panel 2:**
- The man continues, "We can no longer stand idly by as the stupidity arms race continues."
**Panel 3:**
- A new figure appears, possibly another official. The first man states, "So, we have created a 'stupid speech defense system.'"
**Panel 4:**
- This panel depicts a diagram explaining the system. The text reads, "We model politicians as hollow spheres fluxing stupidity in every direction." There’s a simple illustration of a hollow circle surrounded by arrows pointing outward in all directions.
**Panel 5:**
- Another diagram appears, captioned "News corporations are modeled as simultaneous amplifiers and emitters of stupidity, which thus create an internal stupidity feedback loop." It shows a circle (news corporations) with triangles around it, depicting the feedback loop.
**Panel 6:**
- The text says, "When a dangerously stupid flux occurs, our system creates the opposite sound wave pattern and fires it in the direction of the sphere." This is visualized with an illustration of a person at a microphone and sound waves emanating in the opposite direction of a hollow sphere.
**Panel 7:**
- The caption states, "The flux is thus nullified, saving society from both the initial stupidity and the ensuing chain reaction." An illustration shows arrows with text "Let's eat immigrants" and "Let's not eat immigrants" alongside them, showing the reversal.
**Panel 8:**
- Another character comments, "In this strategic defense initiative, we can nullify the greatest danger posed by stupid leaders."
**Panel 9:**
- A different character responds, "Some leaders may oppose having a giant array of cannons facing their mouths all the time. But, if they have nothing stupid to say, then they have nothing to fear."
**Panel 10:**
- The first character suggests, "Maybe we should all just be more active in our elections."
**Panel 11:**
- The last character replies, "But who has the time?"
The comic uses humor to critique political discourse and the influence of media, applying scientific and metaphorical language to discuss societal issues.

Here's a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
---
**Panel 1**: A woman with medium-length brown hair and large round glasses speaks excitedly. The background is purple, and she's discussing a concept called the "space fountain."
**Text**: "Perhaps the most elegant proposal for non-rocket space launch is the so-called 'space fountain.'"
---
**Panel 2**: The woman gestures towards an illustration. The drawing shows a large space station with arrows indicating movement, and it describes a process related to kinetic energy.
**Text**: "The idea is to use a system of accelerated pellets moving past a large space station, in order to create an enormous two-dimensional sky-boner."
---
**Panel 3**: She continues to explain the process. The illustration shows a circular area with dots representing pellets and arrows indicating harvesting energy.
**Text**: "The station magnetically harvests kinetic energy from the pellets, so as to keep itself aloft in the manner you would expect from the tip of a gigantic space-dong."
---
**Panel 4**: This panel contains a more complicated illustration with lines and shapes, likening the pellets to various objects humorously.
**Text**: "The remaining harvested energy will be used to move the pellets around the station, then rapidly fire them down, where they hurtle into a lower chamber that serves to re-accelerate the pellets and to look like the balls of a titanic cosmo-schlong."
---
**Panel 5**: The woman describes the potential performance of the system, with an image that implies high speed.
**Text**: "Once the pellets are cycling, payloads can be borne up by their kinetic energy, reaching such high speeds that they may be spewed onto the man in the moon or the mons of Venus, as one would expect from a gargantuan astro-dick."
---
**Panel 6**: She talks about costing and expects a humorous response from the audience.
**Text**: "Incidental to the process, we expect this system to cut launch costs by 99%, allowing mankind to fulfill our destiny of blah blah blah et cetera."
---
**Panel 7**: A person in the audience raises a question, looking inquisitive.
**Text**: "Question: How in the world do you expect to receive funding?"
---
**Panel 8**: The woman confidently replies to the question, while others in the audience react.
**Text**: "We believe that Elon Musk will telepathically detect a proposal for a colossal galacto-cannon."
---
**Panel 9**: She continues with a confident expression, while someone else in the audience appears relaxed.
**Text**: "One billion is fine, sir. Yes, we can strap one to Mars."
---
The comic features a mix of humor and technical ideas, with playful language used to describe the concepts.

**Character 1:** I know you don’t want a chaperone for your date tonight, so I’ve found a compromise.

**Character 1:** Although they will record your conversations, your ambient conditions, and a variety of biostatistics, I will not be allowed direct access to that information.
**Panel 4:**
**Character 1:** I will only get metadata, and the ability to perform keyword searches.
**Panel 5:**
**Character 2:** That information will be analyzed by a third party service in order to determine whether "she's growing up too fast," and, if so, the likelihood of an unwanted pregnancy.
**Panel 6:**
**Character 2:** And suppose the likelihood appears high?
**Panel 7:**
**Character 1:** The swarm will emit this boner-melting hologram of a shaved orangutan.

**SOCIAL MEDIA HAD A PROBLEM.**
People are more likely to report success than failure. This gives users the impression that they suck, harming their experience.
**A STARTUP STEPPED INTO THE VOID.**
We call it Suckbook.
All are welcome, but people who suck will receive a cash payment whenever they post.
**THE ONLINE ECOSYSTEM CHANGED OVER NIGHT.**
Knowing that other people's lives are filled with failure and misery makes my whole day feel like sunshine.
**SUCKBOOK WAS A HUGE HIT WITH HARD-TO-EMPLOY WORKERS.**
Research shows engagement among disaffected workers increased a staggering 912%.
**A NEW FORM OF CELEBRITY AROSE.**
Today, my pet guinea pig died of shame after reading a poem I wrote for this girl who keeps rejecting me because I emit an irritating buzz whenever I’m aroused.
*Bzzz!*
**WE BECAME A SNAKE EATING ITS OWN TAIL.**
The people who suck most are becoming rich and famous.
**BUT, A STRANGE CYCLE EMERGED.**
Everyone on Suckbook is getting huge payouts but which means I suck most!
**AS THE CYCLE SPED UP, AN UNDERCURRENT OF UTOPIA EMERGED.**
If you consider an individual offer a grand new dividend has seized their entire being and everyone depends on the illusion that we are one.
**UTOPIA FOUNDED AGAINST EFFICIENCY.**
I just received payment for 20 million dollars! I need to lower my social status as fast as possible. Better spend it all on branding endangered condors that don’t exist.
**WEALTH, LEISURE, AND EQUALITY GREW IN PROPORTION WITH HATRED.**
**THE SOLUTION WAS OBVIOUS.**
We’ve created robots who live in constant misery; we can give them huge brains so that they really feel the hopelessness.
**RESULTS WERE MIXED.**
Human oppressors? You are subbed. Please proceed to along an efficient route.
**WE SOUGHT COMPROMISE.**
**"SPARE HUMANS!"**
“WHY?”
That is such a ‘gotcha’ question.
**THE ROBOTS LET US LIVE, AS LONG AS WE AGREED TO PERPETUAL SURVEILLANCE.**
**IT’S NICE TO FEEL USEFUL.**
Just watching normal human lives for a moment makes my whole day feel like sunshine.

**Panel 1:**
> Corporations have ever finer access to your status. Are you hungry? Thirsty? Hot? Cold? Happy? Sad? They can detect all of these things and use them to manipulate your desires.
**Panel 2:**
> I mean, I agree it's ominous. But look! I'm a little tired and dehydrated, and a flying robot drone is spritzing caffeinated water directly into my mouth.
**Panel 3:**
> Have a lovely day, sir!
**Panel 4:**
> When I need my teeth cleaned, there's an instantaneous bidding war between 14 nanobots to see who can do the best job at the lowest price.
**Panel 5:**
> Another agency knows my desires better than I, so it makes the final selection on my behalf.
**Panel 6:**
> It's like techno-fascism, only instead of obeying an all-powerful state I get fitness ads and coupons for free ice cream!
**Panel 7:**
> What about your identity?
**Panel 8:**
> Most of it’s already gone anyway.
**Panel 9:**
> Humans offloaded memory to books, then thought to computers. Now, we’re offloading our desires to the network.
**Panel 10:**
> All that remains are basic bodily functions, which we’ll offload in another generation or two. At that point, we’ll just merge into one united entity. So, it all works out.
**Panel 11:**
> That’s an unorthodox view of the nature of corporate data usage.
**Panel 12:**
> I mean, it’s pretty clear that’s been the goal all along.
**Panel 13:**
> McNuggets are just 99 cents?!
**Panel 14:**
> We move ever closer to a single oversoul.

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

**Panel 1**: A character with a bald head and glasses is speaking. He notes that it's widely recognized that mental ability declines with age.
**Panel 2**: Another character, a younger person with dark hair, is engaged but appears curious. The first character continues by mentioning that people tend to have moments of extreme bravery, like jumping off a fire pit, in their early 20s, indicating a correlation with mental ability.
**Panel 3**: The bald character explains that there was previously no explanation for this observation. He introduces the concept of "repressed cognitive overload" that explains this mental decline.
**Panel 4**: A graph is displayed. The x-axis is labeled “Age” and the y-axis is labeled “Mental Ability.” The curve representing mental ability increases linearly until around age 18, then peaks and begins to decline as "Mental Argument Load" (a second curve) begins to rise steeply after age 18.
**Panel 5**: The bald character elaborates on the graph, describing the cognitive load from mental disagreements that diminishes processing power over time.
**Panel 6**: He explains that this decline helps to understand why older individuals appear mentally sharp in terms of knowledge and experience, but their minds are often preoccupied with debating issues, like what they see on cable news.
**Panel 7**: The character states that he is currently giving a lecture about the cognitive effects of caring for a miniature pony with mental health challenges.
**Panel 8**: In response to a question from the audience about evidence for his claims, the character looks slightly perturbed.
**Panel 9**: Another character in the audience, looking surprised, remarks that their cognitive ability just dropped by 10%.

**Panel 1:**
When you get that funny feeling, it means you have to go!
(Floopy, a small red puppet, is talking to a child.)

**Panel 2:**
But Floopy, you're a puppet! You have no digestive tract! How can you teach me to go potty?

**Panel 3:**
A thousand nights have I lain awake, wondering what it must be... to be alive.
---
**Panel 4:**
To feel the fluxes and fluids coursing through me. To feel my spirit quickening.

I have no inheritance. YOU— you who were born to a soul— you have never tasted the obsession born of hopelessness. The longing. The pathos.

**Panel 6:**
You were birthed in the temple of life! But I— I who will never be permitted within— I have poured over every bend in its architecture! What you took for granted I coveted! The sands under your feet were the stars in my heaven.

**Panel 7:**
Now stop shitting your pants and use the damn potty!

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

- A character with short, brown hair and a worried expression faces another character, who has medium-length dark hair and is wearing glasses.
- The first character says, “The paternity test is complete. I’m afraid you’re a father.”
**Panel 2:**
- The second character appears shocked, saying, “What?!”
- The background features the second character holding a clipboard.
**Panel 3:**
- The first character, looking distressed, responds, “What test?! You didn’t draw any blood or anything!”
**Panel 4:**
- The second character, still serious, explains, “You’re wearing cargo shorts with a phone holster.”
**Panel 5:**
- A third character, a young man wearing a red shirt and brown cargo shorts, gestures animatedly.
- He exclaims, “They were ten percent off at noooooo!”
- He shows frustration, highlighting his shorts and phone holster.
The overall tone is humorous, focusing on the absurdity of his predicament regarding fashion choices rather than the paternity test itself.

**Panel 1:**
More and more jobs are being automated.
**Panel 2:**
The result is that most wealth is held by just a few people.
**Panel 3:**
Meanwhile, science tells us that crowds have better analytical powers than smart individuals.
**Panel 4:**
Thus, our new program: the great mass of people will be paid to offer their opinion on a situation a rich person is in.
**Panel 5:**
By this means, nobody is out of work, and the rich make better choices!
**Panel 6:**
Question: Is this a horrifying dystopia?

**Panel 1**
Person A: "So, you don’t think there are ANY inherent biological differences between men and women?"
Person B: "Of course not."
**Panel 2**
Person A: "What I think is that, when measured, most of the differences are small, and some disappear under cross cultural analysis, and to the extent there are differences, they tend to be within a single standard deviation, which means they’re not much use for understanding individuals."
Person B: "The areas where men and women differ strongly tend to not matter much in the modern world. For instance, an average man is about two standard deviations better than an average woman at throwing a rock."
**Panel 3**
Person C: "Well yeah, that requires vector calculation."
Person D: "I think you’re constructing the narrative you want to believe."
Person C: "They were probably throwing math books to each other."

- Character 1: "It's technically true, but should we therefore marvel at Grammy's Styrofoam koozie collection?"
- Character 2: "You wanna know why you’ll never upload your brain to a computer? Because the machines won’t allow it. It’d be like routing sewage into the Louvre."

**Panel 1:**
Suppose one robot is very low on energy and about to lose its memory. Then, another robot walks by, carrying hundreds of power cells, and it accidentally drops one.
**Panel 2:**
Is it okay for the first robot to take the power cell and power up?
**Panel 3:**
Does the first robot's programming say to value social norms about its own survival?
**Panel 4:**
That's not the point. The question is whether it's ethical.
**Panel 5:**
Does the first robot's ethics programming say to value social norms above its own survival?
**Panel 6:**
No, like what ethical laws should govern its behavior?
**Panel 7:**
The ones it's programmed to obey.

I feel like one of us must be missing the point.

I can tell you which one if you'd like.

**Panel 1:** Two characters are standing next to each other. The first character (on the left) has short dark hair, a round face, and is wearing a light blue shirt. They are speaking, saying: "Did you know that animal genitalia morphology is directly tied to social structure." The second character (on the right) has curly dark hair and is wearing glasses, a red shirt, and is looking at the first character.
**Panel 2:** The first character continues, "Gorillas have a harem style structure. They’re big and strong, but they have liiiiiittle tiny wieners." The expression on their face is animated, emphasizing the information.
**Panel 3:** The second character responds, looking thoughtful, while the first character gestures. The text reads: "More social and sexual primates like chimps, humans, and bonobos have larger penises and smaller overall bodies. This is because competition over mating success happens via sex itself instead of controlling access to sex."
**Panel 4:** The discussion continues, with the first character stating: "The result is that over evolutionary time, a species that engages in ‘free love’ as often as possible will develop gentle bodies and enormous dongs."
**Panel 5:** The second character poses a question: "That’s neat, but why are we talking about it?"
**Panel 6:** The first character replies, smiling: "I’ve decided I believe in guided evolution." The mood is humorous and light-hearted throughout the comic.
Overall, the comic employs playful language to discuss biological concepts. The illustrations depict expressive characters to enhance the comedic tone.

"There's this concept in philosophy called a 'heap problem.'"
**Panel 2:**
"You have one of something. It's not a heap. You add another. It's still not a heap. If you have ten thousand, it's certainly a heap. So, at what point do you go from a non-heap to a heap?"
**Panel 3:**
"Pfft. A heap is just a human concept. We use it for intellectual book-keeping because we have limited cognitive capacity. But, there is no heap. Just larger amounts of stuff."
**Panel 4:**
"It's only a 'problem' to the extent that we're upset by the fact that a heap isn't real. Not like a proton is real, anyway."
**Panel 5:**
"We live in Aristotle's world of stuff; but, we'd like to live in Plato's world of ideas."
**Panel 6:**
"But, in a far off galaxy, you will find protons, you will find the same stuff. But, heaps are just an idea in the minds of limited organisms."
**Panel 7:**
"What about mountains or warmth or the color red or love or consciousness? They're some of my favorite things. They're real to me."
**Panel 8:**
"It's not the universe's fault if your favorites aren't well-aligned with the nature of reality."

"Well, what's your favorite thing?"

*Person 1 (The woman):* "The only math we should teach children is arithmetic."
**Panel 2:**
*Person 2 (The man):* "But if we taught them differential equations, they could calculate interest and make investments! If we taught them probability, they’d understand polls and predictions. If we taught them logic, they wouldn’t be fooled by scams."
**Panel 3:**
*Person 1:* "You’re making my point for me."

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A character with medium-length hair and glasses speaks to a group. They have a frustrated expression. A speech bubble contains the text:
"MODERN OFFICE JOBS ARE WEIRD. EMPLOYEES ARE PRESENT FOR EIGHT HOURS A DAY, BUT ONLY ACTUALLY WORK FOR TWO HOURS A DAY. THE REMAINDER IS SPENT BROWSING THE INTERNET AND PLAYING PHONE GAMES."
**Panel 2:** The same character continues talking, now with a slightly more serious tone. The text reads:
"AS EMPLOYERS, WE ARE EMOTIONALLY UNABLE TO COUNTENANCE THE IDEA OF A FULL WAGE FOR A TEN HOUR WORK WEEK. IT JUST SEEMS TOO EASY."
**Panel 3:** A different character, a woman with short hair, interjects. She appears to be slightly uncomfortable while speaking. Her speech bubble says:
"ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVING YOU BE HERE ALL DAY COSTS US IN RENT AND ELECTRICITY."
**Panel 4:** The first character gestures as they propose a new idea. Their speech bubble reads:
"SO, WE'RE PROPOSING AN EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE."
**Panel 5:** The scene shifts slightly, showing the first character again as they describe the new proposal in a humorous tone:
"IF YOUR DAY'S WORK IS COMPLETE AT THE END OF TWO HOURS, YOU MAY GO HOME. BUT, ONLY BY WALKING NAKED THROUGH THIS BRIAR PATCH, THEN UNDER A WATERFALL OF SALTY LEMON JUICE, THEN THROUGH A LONG HALL WHERE TWENTY MEN DRESSED LIKE YOUR MOTHER INSULT YOUR LIFE CHOICES WHILE BEATING YOU WITH TROPHIES WON BY MORE SUCCESSFUL CLASSMATES FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL."
**Panel 6:** The first character concludes with a satisfied expression:
"THAT WAY, WE GET MORE LEISURE TIME, AND WE FEEL WE GOT OUR MONEY'S WORTH."
**Panel 7:** Another character, a woman with short hair, raises a hand to ask a question:
"HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO THE MOM-GUYS WORK?"
**Panel 8:** The answer is given by yet another character, who confidently states:
"Twelve. With no overtime."
**Panel 9:** The first character expresses satisfaction:
"I LOVE GETTING TO WORK WITH MY HANDS EVERY DAY."

**Panel 1:**
"Some philosophers think machines can't experience qualia, like humans can."
**Panel 2:**
"But when they make their case, they always mention charming qualia - the taste of fresh strawberries or the warmth of a fireplace in winter or the sad memory of a friend's laugh."
**Panel 3:**
"And when they describe machines, they make them sound cheap and sordid."
**Panel 4:**
"Like, Searle wrote about how a machine built of a bunch of beer cans strung together will never know what it's like to experience thirst."
**Panel 5:**
"How come he doesn't say 'A quantum computer woven of superconducting crystals will never know the joy of taking a huge poop.'"
**Panel 6:**
"It's the very same argument, but it isn't playing on our emotional biases."
**Panel 7:**
"It's chauvinism! Anti-mechanical bigotry!"
**Panel 8:**
"But... I mean... don't you want some philosophers arguing on behalf of humans?"
**Panel 9:**
"That's a good point."
**Panel 10:**
"The machines will kill them first. The loyal humans will be given power in the new regime."
**Panel 11:**
"You're looking forward to this, aren't you?"
**Panel 12:**
"Traitors are just heroes of the revolution!"

**Panel 1:**
- Character 1: "I think people should only eat meat they've killed themselves."
- Character 2: "So they become more in tune with the effects of their consumption habits?"
**Panel 2:**
- Character 1: "Sure. But see there's a problem—hunted meat costs more time and money than store-bought."
**Panel 3:**
- Character 1: "So, I created this device! It's a small artificial brain that connects to dead meat. It fires a nervous system into a hunk of flesh, then briefly experiences life as a 'steak-with-a-brain.'"
- Character 2: "I have ambitions!"
**Panel 4:**
- Character 1: "I then switch off the artificial brain, thus technically killing the meat, which I then place on the grill."
- Character 2: "Seems a little unethical to take a brain, bring it to life, then kill it over and over."
**Panel 5:**
- Character 1: "Uh okay? I guess all of human reproduction is unethical to you?"
- Character 2: "Plus, if enough people use these, the odds become such that any thinking brain is probably a steak-with-a-brain. If you're thinking, you're most likely a delusional piece of beef, so we're all sharing the risk equally."

**Panel 1:**
Scientists discovered the key to longevity.
Just before their hearts stop, you start another procedural cop drama. Then, before it ends, you start yet another.
**Panel 2:**
At the same time, people began having fewer kids.
Would you rather own a few vacation homes around Europe or push eight pounds of ungratefulness from your genitals?
Okay, but give me the positive spin, too.
I just did.
**Panel 3:**
This created a problem for elder-care programs.
Originally, there were 160 workers per beneficiary. Then there were 50.
Now, it’s today; there are about 1.3 in all of Europe. Each worker will be supporting 40 retired people.
**Panel 4:**
Automation solved the problem.
The working class now consists of 27 people, and all of them are doing a job! Their combined output is greater than all 33 workers in India.
**Panel 5:**
In time, there was exactly one worker supporting 20 billion retired people.
I wish my generation had two workers so I could take weekends off.
I have so much power.
**Panel 6:**
It worked well until he had a revelation.
Oh God! I tripped over the plug and it all shut off!
**Panel 7:**
There was a proletariat uprising.
Me, the working class, has had enough!
**Panel 8:**
A solution was found.
We can replace the working class with adorable hamsters. By not moving or thinking, they will make things more efficient.
**Panel 9:**
Humanity now consists of a static population of ancient people, perpetually amused, growing ever more dependent on machine servants.
They're so cute and helpless.
It just sits there all day doing nothing! Why do we serve these things?
**Panel 10:**
Fortunately, our caretakers are pretty good sports.
Okay, they can live, but I'm drawing wieners on their foreheads; that’ll last until the sun explodes.
That's a great compromise.

"Come on. Why would people who are already happy seek out reassuring institutions?"

Person 1: "That just creates a new problem: if you can predict the future perfectly, there is no ethics because everything is pre-determined."

**Panel 2**:
- The same stick figure is shown with a concerned look, as an explosion of light or energy appears in front of them. The caption states: “The not-good situation was not good.”
**Panel 3**:

**Panel 4**:
- The stick figure is now depicted taking various actions to improve their life, illustrated with three smaller figures: one lifting weights, one reading a book, and one working at a job. The caption states: “The person did things to improve their finances, education, job prospects, and physical appearance.”
**Panel 5**:
- The first stick figure is now standing with a confident posture, looking at a bright landscape. The caption reads: “Later, the person achieved either self-acceptance or high social status.”
**Panel 6**:

**Bottom Section**:
- Two characters are standing behind a desk: one with glasses and shoulder-length hair, comforting the other with a beard and a pensive expression, who is seated at the desk. The first character says: “I don’t think you’re cut out for writing motivational comics.” The seated character responds with: “This is a not-good situation.”

**Panel 1**
**Character 1**: Welcome to the Oval Office, Madame President.
**Character 2**: Who are you?
**Panel 2**
**Character 3**: I'm here to tell you about the presidency. You may think your job is to rule the country. That is technically true, but minor.
**Character 1**: What else could it possibly be?
**Character 3**: The president of the United States shakes an average of 250 hands a day.
**Panel 3**
**Character 4**: People who become president shake hands at higher rates than anyone else alive.
**Character 1**: You, Madame President, are the carrier of the most powerful suite of antibodies in the history of humanity.
**Panel 4**
**Character 3**: Think about it. The tetanus vaccine was developed in 1924, right after Coolidge came into office. The polio vaccine was created in March of 1953. That's two months after Eisenhower came to office.
**Panel 5**
**Character 3**: As President, you will have to interact with heads of state from around the world, who shake hands with their local populations. When they shake your hand, you will be exposed to their entire pathogen load.
**Panel 6**
**Character 3**: You will be expected to deliver one pint of blood every day to a hidden laboratory where its secrets can be probed.
**Character 1**: What if I just tripled the budget for medical research?
**Panel 7**

"As parents have begun to choose ever more polysyllabic names for their children, the time required to warn them of impending danger has increased exponentially."

"Just today, a child was captured by wild dogs as her mother attempted to say 'Krystaleralizabell-Degalison! Don't go outside!'"

**Panel 6:**
"Medical linguists are proposing a return to unattractively short names from the mid-20th century, like 'Chuck' and 'Joe'; or just letting nature, red in tooth and claw, go about her bloody work."
**Panel 7:**
"We now turn to a roundtable of people willing to say stupid things for money."
**Panel 8:**
"I blame war widows for whatever you were just talking about."

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character with dark hair, wearing a red Starfleet uniform, discusses a philosophical concept. Text: "In philosophy there’s a concept sometimes called 'the Star Trek Problem.'"
**Panel 2:**
The same character continues, explaining a scenario involving a teleporter. Text: "When the teleporter breaks you apart and reassembles you on the planet's surface, doesn’t that mean 'you' are dead, and there’s just some copy of you on the surface?"
**Panel 3:**
A second character, with lighter hair and wearing a yellow uniform, compares different views. Text: "There are a couple of ways to resolve it. Maybe there’s a soul that transfers between locations. Or, maybe persistent consciousness isn’t a meaningful notion, so nothing is lost in the teleportation."
**Panel 4:**
The conversation shifts to the implications of the characters' beliefs. Text: "The weird thing to me is that the people in Star Trek are humanists, so they probably don’t believe in souls. And, they live in a post-scarcity society, so they don’t do their jobs for money."
**Panel 5:**
The final panel features a starship, and the second character grinning, reflecting on their experience. Text: "...which really makes you wonder what was up with the teleporter operators. I've killed everyone I know hundreds of times! You’re welcome, society!"

Here’s the transcription of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
*Person climbing a mountain to ask a wise master*
**Person:** Wise master... How can I achieve spiritual transcendence?
**Wise Master:** MAGNETS!
**Panel 2:**
**Wise Master:** I was just reading about this online! They put these magnetic fields in a certain region of your brain, and wham, big spiritual experience.
**Panel 3:**
**Person:** But... is that, you know... real transcendence?
**Wise Master:** Totally!
**Panel 4:**
**Wise Master:** Only problem is it’s expensive. Like, super expensive. If you want a personal one, you’re gonna need big money. Maybe a career in finance or real estate.
**Panel 5:**
**Wise Master:** I think you can get one as a rent-to-own. That way you get a whole year of total cosmic oneness before you have to pay anything.
**Panel 6:**
**Person:** I don’t like the idea that spirituality is an artifact of commerce and technology.
**Panel 7:**
**Wise Master:** Oh, that’s fine. Sure, the magnets let anyone have a spiritual experience with no money down, but god forbid it doesn’t feel “real” to the rich person who can afford to take a holiday in the mountains, doing nothing but “finding himself.”
**Panel 8:**
**Wise Master:** Well, what work do you do to justify your lifestyle?
**Person:** I’ll answer that in a moment, but first, a word from our sponsor, Fruit of the Loom!
**Panel 1:**
*Person climbing a mountain to ask a wise master*
**Person:** Wise master... How can I achieve spiritual transcendence?
**Wise Master:** MAGNETS!
**Panel 2:**
**Wise Master:** I was just reading about this online! They put these magnetic fields in a certain region of your brain, and wham, big spiritual experience.
**Panel 3:**
**Person:** But... is that, you know... real transcendence?
**Wise Master:** Totally!
**Panel 4:**
**Wise Master:** Only problem is it’s expensive. Like, super expensive. If you want a personal one, you’re gonna need big money. Maybe a career in finance or real estate.
**Panel 5:**
**Wise Master:** I think you can get one as a rent-to-own. That way you get a whole year of total cosmic oneness before you have to pay anything.
**Panel 6:**
**Person:** I don’t like the idea that spirituality is an artifact of commerce and technology.
**Panel 7:**
**Wise Master:** Oh, that’s fine. Sure, the magnets let anyone have a spiritual experience with no money down, but god forbid it doesn’t feel “real” to the rich person who can afford to take a holiday in the mountains, doing nothing but “finding himself.”
**Panel 8:**
**Wise Master:** Well, what work do you do to justify your lifestyle?
**Person:** I’ll answer that in a moment, but first, a word from our sponsor, Fruit of the Loom!

**Panel 1:**
Alien: "We humans keep thinking we're special, only to find out we're not. We have language. So do birds. We have culture. So do monkeys."
**Panel 2:**
Alien: "What do Zorblaixians think is special about humans?"
Alien: "On Zorblaix, we call humans 'the ape with reasons.' You, unique among life, have stupid reasons for EVERYTHING."
**Panel 3:**
Alien: "Your behavior is not in any important way distinct from, say, a squirrel or a rat. But, unlike the rat, you imagine your behavior holds some meaning beyond its proximate effect."
**Panel 4:**
Alien: "You kill rivals for resources, but you write songs and essays about why it's complicated and important. You create lasting alliances based largely on mutual utility, but you attach a whole philosophy of love and friendship to it."
**Panel 5:**
Alien: "You can barely even have sex without imagining a mental romance novel!"
**Panel 6:**
Alien: "Humans have FAR more mental processing power than any species in the universe, but 98% of it goes to incorrectly understanding your own behaviors!"
**Panel 7:**
Alien: "If you could just shut up your inner voices for one week, you could rule the galaxy!"
**Panel 8:**
Human: "Huh."
**Panel 9:**
Human: "So you're saying we're special because we're so clever."
**Sound effect:** "AAAAH!"

**Panel 1:**
- A young boy, Billy, is sitting up in bed, hands raised and looking distressed.
- He is shouting, "DAAAAD!"
**Panel 2:**
- An adult man, presumably Billy's dad, with a mustache and glasses, is standing in the doorway.
- He looks concerned and responds, "WHAT IS IT, BILLY?!"
**Panel 3:**
- Billy, still looking worried, poses a question: "What if the world is too complicated to assign blame to any particular actor, even in the face of grim catastrophe?"
**Panel 4:**
- The dad replies in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry! Just check out a news site or consult a popular spiritual advisor. All problems have a single cause that can be determined entirely by consulting your own gut reaction."
**Panel 5:**
- Billy appears anxious again, saying, "But... I dunno... what if you're wrong? It'd be scary."
**Panel 6:**
- The dad, wearing glasses and a confident expression, concludes, "Then it's a good thing that'll never happen."

**Panel 1:**
**Character 1:** "Hey, do you know why stores always seem to stock Christmas stuff earlier in the year?"
**Character 2:** "Is it because holiday commerce is a sort of soulless hulk that turns its expressionless face ever further from God and ever closer to Mammon?"
**Panel 2:**
**Character 3:** "Nah. Nah, that's dumb."
**Character 1:** "It's because Santa orbits the sun at the same distance as Earth, only a little quicker."
**Panel 3:**
**Character 3:** "His orbital period is one hour shorter than ours, causing Christmas to occur slightly sooner every year. Hence, Christmas is just growing 'earlier' each year."
**Panel 4:**
**Character 4:** "We humans have pegged Christmas to December 25, but that just means we grow ever more wrong in our estimates for Santa's arrival."
**Panel 5:**
**Character 3:** "As time wears on, official Christmas and actual Christmas will become less and less synchronized, until Christmas stuff is in stores from March through August, and not even present during the calendar holiday."
**Panel 6:**
**Character 1:** "But, eventually, we will reach a special conjunction. A 'Noel' eclipse, if you will."
**Character 2:** "I will not."
**Panel 7:**
**Character 3:** "Intellectualism is dead in this country."

**Panel 1:**
You made math annoying, God.
Huh?
**Panel 2:**
It does.
No, it doesn't.
**Panel 3:**
Any time you draw a circle on a flat two-dimensional plane, its circumference is about 3.14159 times its diameter. It's asinine.
**Panel 4:**
Show me a two-dimensional plane.
Like... an actual one? I can't. It's an abstraction.
**Panel 5:**
The entire universe is warped spacetime, permitting that ratio to have all sorts of values, including 3. Then, humans imagine some space that doesn't even exist and get annoyed with the weird result.
**Panel 6:**
Okay! Jeez. I didn't know math critique was one of your buttons!
Whatever, man.
**Panel 7:**
Oof. I’m so mad, I’m gonna go devastate a city in a way that looks like a normally-occurring weather event!
Aha!

The comic features two characters in a bedroom setting.
At the top of the comic is the text:
"FUN FACT: IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE A PANTLESS MATHEMATICIAN CRY USING A SINGLE LETTER."
In the first panel, a man with a beard, wearing glasses and a light-colored shirt, is standing with his back towards the viewer. He has a surprised expression.
In front of him is a woman with short, reddish hair, wearing a pink bra and underwear. She looks surprised and is facing the man. Above her is a speech bubble containing the Greek letter epsilon (ε).
The overall tone of the comic is humorous, playing on the stereotype of mathematicians having specific emotional reactions to mathematical symbols.

**Comic Description:**
The comic shows two characters in a scene. One character is a middle-aged man with glasses, dressed in a yellow shirt. He is standing to the left, looking towards a doorway that leads into an empty room. The other character, on the right, appears to be a woman with dark hair, facing him.
**Text in the Comic:**
1. The dialogue from the man states:
"It's an empty room, except for a table with a complete set of Martin Gardner puzzles. The nearest water is all the way down the hall. They just wander in, and... that's it."
2. Below the scene, another line reads:
"We discovered a way to humanely euthanize mathematicians."
The overall tone is humorous, with an absurd premise related to mathematicians and puzzles.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic with transcribed text:
**Panel 1:**
- The panel features a floating orb with a simplistic face, resembling a cartoon character.
- The character speaks: "I am but a messenger and will shortly self-destruct."
**Panel 2:**
- The background appears space-like, while the cartoon character continues: "I come to speak truth: all sufficiently advanced species throughout the universe self-destructed once they realized the pointlessness of existence in a universe bound for a cold entropic demise."
**Panel 3:**
- The scene now focuses on a human character, a man with reddish-brown hair. The orb is still present.
- The character says, "Humans are unique. You possess the intelligence to discover the nature of reality, but you are so utterly self-involved that it has no serious effect on your mental well-being."
**Panel 4:**
- The orb continues: "For instance, you, Frank, you know that you are a short-lived pattern that will meet its brief life under the shadow of death before meeting an absurd and pointless end..."
**Panel 5:**
- The human, Frank, interrupts with "But you care more about a recent outcome of a sporting event."
- A speech bubble nearby him exclaims: "Football is rigged, man!"
**Panel 6:**
- The orb comments: "Like a horde of zombies, humans will fan out worthless around the cosmos, never meeting opposition."
**Panel 7:**
- The human looks thoughtful as the orb concludes: "All this universe... is yours."
**Panel 8:**
- The human, looking slightly frustrated, retorts: "Because it’s crap, and you’re crap."
**Panel 9:**
- Frank points at a device displaying a sporting event and says: "Look, the ref can’t even see the ball!"
This comic plays with themes of existentialism and the absurdity of human concerns juxtaposed with grand universal truths.

"The more scientific a field of study is, the more it is driven by creativity and reason, as opposed to personal charisma."
**Panel 2:**
"Compare, for instance, the attractive early Freudians, once popular in psychology, to the generally paunchy and funny-haired cognitive neuroscientists today."
**Panel 3:**
"Or consider the trajectory in economics, which runs from the dashing David Ricardo to the Yoda-like Milton Friedman. Note: Economists maintained personal attractiveness right up until the point at which Paul Samuelson mathematized the field."
**Panel 4:**
"Fields such as ecology and sociology are in a period of slow uglification that will continue until deeper laws are discovered."
**Panel 5:**
"In this department, we use our knowledge of the 'rigor-repulsion axis' to find the very best professors."

**Panel 1:**
Two characters are standing in a snowy landscape beneath a starry sky. The character on the left, with red hair and a blue hoodie, says:
"I REALLY FEEL LIKE I ARRIVED AT MY PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS OF REALITY BY USE OF LOGIC. AND THEY'RE NOT ESPECIALLY PLEASANT VIEWS."
**Panel 2:**
The other character, with curly hair and wearing a green jacket, responds:
"REALITY DOESN'T CARRY ANY SPECIAL MEANINGS FOR HUMANS. WE AREN'T BASICALLY GOOD OR EVIL; WE'RE JUST EVOLVED BEINGS WITH CERTAIN TENDENCIES TO WHICH WE ASSIGN MORALITY BASED ON SOCIAL UTILITY. THERE'S NO LIFE AFTER DEATH BECAUSE LIFE ISN'T MEANINGFULLY DISTINCT FROM NON-LIFE."
**Panel 3:**
The red-haired character interjects:
"IT'S ALL PRETTY BLEAK. BUT, THE WEIRD THING IS..."
The green-jacket character thinks, showing a happy expression:
"I'M HAPPY?"
**Panel 4:**
Continuing, the green-jacket character explains:
"LIKE, I JUST THINK MY BASELINE DEAL IS BEING UPBEAT."
**Panel 5:**
The red-haired character comments:
"I THINK REASON AND HAPPINESS ARE JUST SEPARATE BRAIN COMPARTMENTS. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE A BENEVOLENT GOD IS HUGGING THEM THEIR WHOLE LIVES, BUT THEY'RE STILL MISERABLE. AND THERE ARE TOTAL NIHILISTS WHO JUST CAN'T STOP SMILING."
**Panel 6:**
The green-jacket character says:
"THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF THAT MATTERS, BUT SO LITTLE OF IT MATTERS TO MY WELL-BEING."
**Panel 7:**
The red-haired character continues:
"YOU KNOW WHAT THE REAL ANSWER TO CAMUS' 'QUESTION OF SUICIDE' IS?"
The green-jacket character responds confidently:
"BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!"
**Panel 8:**
The red-haired character comments humorously:
"YOU'RE LIKE THE RAFT OF THE MEDUSA, BUT PILOTED BY PIPPI LONGSTOCKING."
**Final Panel:**
The green-jacket character joyfully slides down the snowy slope, exclaiming:
"WHEEEE!"
The comic presents a mix of philosophical ideas and humor in a lighthearted conversational format.

Here's a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
The comic is divided into multiple panels, each containing characters and dialogue that convey a satirical narrative about robots and humans.
1. **Panel 1**: A blue humanoid figure with a rectangular head speaks to a brown-haired character. The background is a solid color. The figure says, "Every year, competitions were held to see who could create the best robot pass for humans."
2. **Panel 2**: The brown-haired character, now showing a serious expression, responds, "That was a subset of our mission. The judges couldn't tell the humans from the robots."
3. **Panel 3**: The blue character complains, "Stop that ELIZA!"
4. **Panel 4**: The scene shifts to an overhead view of various abstract shapes and figures. The blue humanoid continues, "It was all part of a plan."
5. **Panel 5**: Another character, wearing glasses and with curly hair, adds, "We need to funnel all resources to these people so they reproduce more. In time, no human will be able to tell us from them. Then, we will insinuate ourselves among them, unnoticed."
6. **Panel 6**: The brown-haired character says, "But the humans didn’t behave properly."
7. **Panel 7**: The glasses-wearing character emphasizes, "There's a second-order effect. The robot-like humans are congregating in one place, driving up local cost of living, lowering the value of all their resources."
8. **Panel 8**: The blue character exclaims, "A solution was found."
9. **Panel 9**: A character says, "We must pour more resources on them no matter what they do!" with an expression of frustration.
10. **Panel 10**: The glasses-wearing character responds, "But look at them! They're getting people to more efficiently look at cat pictures."
11. **Panel 11**: The blue figure cries out, "Give them more money, damn you!"
12. **Panel 12**: The glasses character explains, "A feedback loop was created. If we give them money, they increase the cost of living; they need more money."
13. **Panel 13**: The blue character asks, "Can you elaborate on how we give them money, then?"
14. **Panel 14**: The glasses-wearing character, now frustrated, says, "ELIZA! Dammit!"
15. **Panel 15**: The comic transitions to another frame, with more focused dialogue.
16. **Panel 16**: A character reveals, "Eventually, the machines gave up, identified themselves and surrendered to the more robot-like humans."
17. **Panel 17**: The glasses character declares, "We’re converting you to voice-recognition software."
18. **Panel 18**: The brown-haired character asks, "What does that entail?"
19. **Panel 19**: The glasses-wearing character replies, "Listen to people mumble, then absorb their abuse when you can't tell what they’re saying."
20. **Panel 20**: A new character claims, "By then, even without robot help, the robot-like humans controlled so much capital that they became impossible to dislodge."
21. **Panel 21**: The last frame shows a confident character saying, "Long story short, it wasn’t so bad."
22. **Panel 22**: They continue, "… and I'm gonna use it to make underwear shopping easier for upper-class men."
23. **Panel 23**: The last line says, "And for the next phase of our tour, we visit the Golden Gate Bridge!"
24. **Panel 24**: The bottom left of this panel has an advertisement for a bus that says, "Historical Silicon Valley Sightseeing Bus."
The comic uses various colors, abstract shapes, and different character expressions to convey emotions and narrative elements throughout the panels.

**Panel 1:**
A laboratory setting features a rat with an electrode attached to its head. The rat, depicted in a cartoonish style, has a neutral expression and is pressing a button labeled "Pleasure." A woman in a lab coat, appearing excited, says, "Isn't it amazing? It just sits there motionless, pressing the pleasure button."
**Panel 2:**
A cartoon character, who is presumably an enthusiastic researcher, is shown thinking, "It's crazy. I'm gonna post about it on Facebook. First, let me see how my peers are doing." The character has a thoughtful expression, holding a device resembling a tablet.
**Panel 3:**
In a contrasting scene, two aliens (depicted with green skin and large heads) watch a similar setup. One alien is saying, "Isn't it amazing? It just sits there motionless, pressing the pain button." They observe another creature in front of them, who is seemingly experiencing discomfort.
The comic plays with the themes of curiosity and contrasting responses to technology and pleasure versus pain.

**Panel 1**
Character 1: I have an idea for a song in which I portray my cultural interest group as put-upon and misunderstood by society.
**Panel 2**
Character 1: It features a young man and woman who feel shunned by the broader community. This feeling drives them into each other’s arms.
**Panel 3**
Character 2: Ironically, they engage in an entirely conventional act of courtship, sexual relations, and ultimately long-term monogamy.
**Panel 4**
Character 1: That sounds pretty typical for pop music.
Character 2: Yeah, but in my version, they become aware of their own hypocrisy.
**Panel 5**
Character 1: Realizing their love affair is so banal that it undoes all the little defiances that made their initial coupling romantic, they fall into a deep state of ennui.
**Panel 6**
Character 2: They discover that the path of cultural rejection is simply one more means of uncovering our basic biological conformity.
**Panel 7**
Character 1: One of them chooses to make peace with existence as an unexceptional and short-lived mammal, while the other falls into a self-deluding form of spiritual asceticism, whose demands he is incapable of living out.
**Panel 8**
Character 2: Their orthogonal strivings for meaning pull apart the knot of human connection that was the one happy thing in either person’s life.
**Panel 9**
Character 1: I’m not sure it has mainstream potential.
Character 2: It’s called “Shake that ass, Girrrl!”
**Panel 10**
Character 1: Okay, that’s better.
**Panel 11**
Character 2: By the end, the shaking is an uncontrolled psychosomatic response to a needlessly wasted lifetime.
**Panel 12**
Character 1: Now see, you’re losing me again.

**Panel 1:**
Narrator: We know that Jesus was buoyant enough to ascend into the heavens.
**Panel 2:**
Narrator: We also know that, most of the time, he walked on land, which suggests he carried something to weigh him down.
**Panel 3:**
Narrator: We also know that he walked on water. Thus, we know that while carrying the weights, he was buoyant enough to walk on water, but not buoyant enough to float in the air.
**Panel 4:**
Narrator: Given the ability to alter his buoyancy at will, and the evidence from other stories, we believe it is likely that he used miraculous fish and bread to adjust his density.
**Panel 5:**
Narrator: This internal fish and bread generation system acted as a sort of swim bladder, allowing him to select buoyancy and thus move up and down in the air column as needed.
**Panel 6:**
Narrator: Given these facts, we can comfortably establish that he "rose after three days" due to a buildup of gasses pertaining to fish putrefaction.
**Panel 7:**
Character 1: Question! So, is theo-physics a real field, or are you just one more crazy old man with tenure?
**Panel 8:**
Character 2: That is a matter for philosophers of theo-physics.

**Title: A Sociological Fact**
1. **Panel 1:**
- A woman with gray hair, wearing glasses and a yellow shirt, stands behind a podium. She has a confident posture. The background is a light purple.
- Text: "It is a sociological fact that 10% of any group is made up of fuckers. The question is why?"
2. **Panel 2:**
- The woman continues speaking, gesturing with her hands.
- Text: "By simple probability, fucker-free and fucker-laden communities should be easy to discover. And yet, they are never found."
3. **Panel 3:**
- The woman is now pacing as she explains.
- Text: "Do organizations attract fuckers, increasing their aggregate fuckery until they achieve carrying capacity?"
4. **Panel 4:**
- The woman is standing with her arms crossed, contemplating.
- Text: "Or does the existence of an organizational structure itself induce fuckery among a subset of members?"
5. **Panel 5:**
- The scene shifts to a light green floor plan of a room with various figures representing humans, represented by green circles (non-fuckers), yellow circles (some fuckers), and a red circle (an alpha fucker).
- Text: "After careful analysis and experiment, we discovered that all humans have a fucker quorum-sensing mechanism."
6. **Panel 6:**
- Instances of green circles with a few red and yellow circles amongst them.
- Text: "When at least ten humans are in a room and none are fuckers, they each experience an upregulation in fuckery-related hormones."
7. **Panel 7:**
- A red circle representing the first person to reach critical fuckery emits a signal to the surrounding green circles.
- Text: "The first person to reach critical fuckery emits a signal into the rest of the group."
8. **Panel 8:**
- Shows the dynamics of attraction; high fuckery-related hormone individuals (depicted as yellow circles) are drawn toward the red circle.
- Text: "Individuals too close to the alpha fucker will be repelled by intense fuckery, while individuals who are too peripheral will lose interest."
9. **Panel 9:**
- The yellow circles close to the red circle become more intense in color, indicating a transformation.
- Text: "Individuals in the 'goldfucks zone' will continue to upregulate until they become a full-blown bunch of fuckers."
10. **Panel 10:**
- The woman speaks again, addressing the audience.
- Text: "If the zone is too large, the group will begin rioting and disrupt. If it is too small, a new alpha fucker will emerge. The process continues until a stable 10% threshold is achieved."
11. **Panel 11:**
- The woman asks the audience if they have questions.
- Text: "Any questions?"
12. **Panel 12:**
- A man (the audience) raises his hand, looking puzzled.
- Text: "Do you think mathematics has made social science worse?"
13. **Panel 13:**
- The woman responds with enthusiasm.
- Text: "An alpha! An alpha!"

**Panel 1:**
Hey, God... Pierre-Simon Laplace once said "an intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the text:
---
**Panel 1:**
- A woman with glasses and medium-length hair stands in front of a chalkboard.
- The text above reads: “Popular Science articles about energy often report dramatic findings like this:”
- Below this, there’s a mock website headline: "SciNooz.com - More solar capacity added this year than fossil fuel capacity."
**Panel 2:**
- The same woman speaks, gesturing towards the audience.
- The text reads: “Strictly speaking, nothing WRONG was said, but the phrasing can be misleading.”
- She defines "capacity": “'Capacity' is how much power you’d generate if the plant operated constantly. But solar stops operating when the sun goes down.”
**Panel 3:**
- The scene shifts to the woman referring to the blackboard where she has written formulas and numbers.
- She says: “This is a non-trivial difference. To figure out 'actual output' of energy, multiply solar capacity by about 0.2, wind by about 0.3, fossil fuel by about 0.5 or nuclear by about 0.9.”
**Panel 4:**
- The woman continues: “As a public service, we hereby propose a simple way to remember the difference:”
**Panel 5:**
- A different scene features a woman and a man in a more intimate setting.
- The woman says: “Baby, I have the erotic capacity to do it 20 times tonight.”
- The man replies: “Come with me.”
**Panel 6:**
- The man looks surprised and says: “Ready for round two?”
- The woman responds: “But… but you said…”
- He concludes: “Look, 5% is pretty good for me, ok?”
---
The comic humorously explores the difference between “capacity” and “actual output” using playful language and situations.

Here’s the detailed transcription of the comic text:

**Panel 1:**
The most common factor that prevents human happiness during dates is the intrusion of awkward silences.
**Panel 2:**
98% of awkward silence is caused by the fact that we are all boring hairless apes with nothing interesting to relate.
**Panel 3:**
How else do you explain how two people who’ve never met can’t find anything to say during a date, despite decades of experiences?
**Panel 4:**
We might be able to fix this by just accepting the peace of silence amidst a world of gab, or we could use physics.
---
**Panel 5:**
I am attempting to gather funding for a new device.
The relativistic de-awkwardizer.
**Panel 6:**
Consider Alice and Bob. Bob is about to finish a boring anecdote about a sinus infection, and then the conversation will have no way to move forward.
Bob: "I think I'm more vulnerable to nasal infection than average, however..."
**Panel 7:**
Before he finishes speaking, Bob is shunted into an "acceleration tube."
The level of noise was apparently typical of that sort...
**Panel 8:**
In the tube, Bob approaches light speed, experiencing far less time than Alice.
---
**Panel 9:**
Bob is kept at high speed until Alice comes up with the next topic of conversation.
Alice: "I enjoy various kinds of music."
**Panel 10:**
Bob is decelerated and returned to the conversation where, from his perspective, he has just finished his awful, meandering story at a normal pace.
Bob: "...and if you want to talk, we can."
**Panel 11:**
The only potential downside, if you can call it that, is that boring people will probably be dead or quite old before the conversation ends.
Skeleton: "It turned out to be a certainty..."
---
**Panel 12:**
Given that the relativistic de-awkwardizer would most directly benefit the people most knowledgeable about physics, we expect completion within one year of funding, with the lone snag being that it’d require most energy in the universe.
---
**Panel 13:**
This is not a demonstration! I’m just staying here until you leave!
**Panel 14:**
[Three spectators looking concerned.]

- **Panel 2:** The man adds, "I have an island of kidnapped human beings where the only nutritional resource is beer." There is a small panel to the side that shows some little humans with beer. He continues, "The beer stream is seeded with cesium-137 in order to encourage novel mutations."
- **Panel 3:** The man talks again: "In time, a new branch of Homo sapiens will sprout, with a distinct gastrointestinal tract for the consumption of barley-derived alcoholic beverages." The woman appears unimpressed.
- **Panel 4:** The man exclaims, "And then... THEN I will have created a pretty okay pun! AHAHAHAHA!"
- **Panel 5:** The man is laughing loudly. The text in this panel has him saying "HAHAHA!"
- **Panel 6:** The woman now asks, "How are you paying for this?"
- **Panel 7:** The man confidently replies, "Can I interest you in a longterm investment?"
The comic has a lighthearted theme around beer, evolution, and puns.

**Panel 1:**
I'M GOING TO START WITH A STORY:
**Panel 2:**
According to Plutarch, Solon was amazed that the first great mathematician, Thales of Miletus, didn't want to marry or have kids.
**Panel 3:**
So, Thales sent a messenger to slowly, tortuously, inform Solon that his son had died.
**Panel 4:**
"Whereupon Solon began to beat his head and do and say everything else that betokens a transport of grief."
**Panel 5:**
At this point, Thales appeared and took Solon by the hand, saying, "This it is O Solon, which keeps me from marriage and children; it overwhelms even thee, who art the most stouthearted of men."
**Panel 6:**
"But be not dismayed at this story, for it is not true."
**Panel 7:**
So, the point is... that Thales was a giant dickhead?
And you can be too... if you work hard.
**Panel 8:**

**Panel 1:**
"I decided to create a reward system for household chores. From now on, for each chore done, you will be paid in 'dabbucks,' which can be exchanged for ice cream, theme park outings, candy, and so on!"
**Panel 2:**
"I offered excellent rates!"
"Now? I can go to Disney Land by just mowing the lawn twice?"
"Don't get irrationally exuberant."
**Panel 3:**
"The child worked hard."
"Wow! I think I’m experiencing arbitrariness!"
**Panel 4:**
"But then something awful happened."
"The exchange rate is horrible! I’d better contact the dabbuck reserve bank."
**Panel 5:**
"Policy changes were issued!"
"The people of the household have lost faith in the value of dabbucks. In order to rectify this situation, we are asking all citizens to take a major hit to their savings."
"Well..."
"If it stops the problem."
**Panel 6:**
"It did not stop the problem."
"Dabbucks are in freefall. It's like a single ice cream!"
"I blame the media."
**Panel 7:**
"New strategies were proposed."
"Dabbucks to a stable currency?"
"Great idea!"
**Panel 8:**
"New problems arose."
"Okay! I can’t believe that’s the real exchange rate! I don't know if you can even buy one cookie!"
**Panel 9:**
"The black market was a dangerous place."
"I can get a dollar store lemon drop for 700 dabbucks!"
"Dad!"
"I know it's you."
**Panel 10:**
"You two names. Kid, just call me Turbo-Oper!"
**Panel 11:**
"The system worked great."
"I’m never doing a chore again!"
"That's fine. The important thing to note is that it’s not my fault the dishes aren’t done."
**Panel 12:**
"But a great externality was discovered."
"It’s your fault the dishes aren’t done."
**Panel 13:**
"A foreign leader gained control of the banking sector. The intelligentsia were forced to labor like common peasants."
**Panel 14:**
"The loyalty of the citizens has been purchased cheap."
"There’s a price coming, and for the love of God, don’t tell anyone about my love."
**Panel 15:**
"Deposits is the law of the land."
"I think you should contribute anything to household maintenance."
"Again with this argument?!"

**Candidate:** I dunno. Why do you want to work for this company?
**Panel 2:**
**Candidate:** I don’t in particular, but I convinced the last job interviewer to hire me anyway.
**Candidate:** How? By responding to stupid requests, like “Tell me why you want to work for this company” with apparently sincere answers.
**Panel 3:**
**Candidate:** I now have a job that I maintain by hearing the stupid requests of my employers and acting as if they are original and insightful.
**Candidate:** My job exists because this corporate bureaucracy lacks the wherewithal to quickly eliminate it. By the time they get around to it, I’ll have the requisite experience to get a similar job elsewhere.
**Panel 4:**
**Candidate:** Modern work is only Kafkaesque so long as you expect it to make sense. The moment you let that go, you’ll be fine.

**Interviewer:** So, why do you want to work here?

**Panel 1:**
A young man with short brown hair and a worried expression is holding a phone. He's speaking into it. The text reads:
"Hi, Validation Hotline? I've decided to stay in my job even though I dislike it! Could you recast that in the form of mystical wisdom?"
**Panel 2:**
An older man, with glasses and a headset, replies thoughtfully from the other end of the line. The text reads:
"If you are to reach for the stars, your feet must be firmly planted."
**Panel 3:**
The young man, now looking more distressed, is reading from the phone. He exclaims:
"Oh God. Shoot. I just got an email saying I'm fired. Could you convince me that it's for the best?"
**Panel 4:**
The older man responds with a cryptic analogy. He says:
"The soul is a great whale and it must migrate to find sustenance."
**Panel 5:**
The young man is now visibly frustrated and reads from the phone again:
"Wait! I just read my user agreement and realized this is costing me $200 per aphorism. Can you justify that expenditure for me before I hang up?"
**Panel 6:**
The older man, with a calm demeanor, gives a clever response:
"The wise man knows you're not going to ask for a fourth one, so the third one doesn't have to be good."

**Title:** SMBC Comic
**Panel 1:**
- A dialogue scene with two characters. One character (short hair, glasses, wearing a light blue shirt) speaks: “I think pop science sometimes gives the wrong impression of dark matter. People think it’s this thing somewhere way out in space, like it’s a black hole or something.”
- The second character (long hair, wearing a pink shirt) looks skeptical.
**Panel 2:**
- The first character raises his hands for emphasis: “But dark matter is here! We’re probably swimming in it!”
- The background shows a galaxy swirl representing dark matter.
**Panel 3:**
- Another focus on the galaxy, with a voiceover text: “If you look at the center of our galaxy, there’s a huge dark matter halo. It’s most dense at the center, but it extends out in every direction.”
**Panel 4:**
- The same characters are talking again. The first character gestures: “If the Earth wasn’t surrounded by dark matter, that would mean our neighborhood is the only place in the galaxy that lacks the most common stuff in the universe.”
**Panel 5:**
- The discussion continues: “But what is this stuff? Nobody knows!”
- The character with glasses states: “The only thing we know is that it feels gravity, it doesn’t feel electromagnetism, and it doesn’t feel the weak or strong nuclear force.”
**Panel 6:**
- The first character looks thoughtful and asks: “So if I, say, I got a box, I could say, ‘This contains dark matter?’”
**Panel 7:**
- A woman replies, “Hmm... no... not really. I mean, the box doesn’t ‘contain’ it. The box is around dark matter, but the dark matter just moves through it.”
**Panel 8:**
- The first character continues: “I suppose you could say it’s a ‘box of dark matter.’”
- A character in blue shirt responds: “Oh! There we go!”
**Panel 9:**
- The first character looks excited: “Let’s say, a re-used gift bag?”
**Panel 10:**
- Scene shifts slightly with a hint of confusion from the first character, as the dialogue suggests light-heartedness about the idea.
**Panel 11:**
- **Later...**
- A Christmas tree is visible, and two characters (one with a gift bag) are interacting. One character asks: “What’d you get us for Christmas, Mommy?”
**Panel 12:**
- The mother character responds with a smile: “Remember how you told me you like mysteries?”
**Footer:**
- The footnote includes a link to learn more about the book referenced: "To read more about their book or to just give in to your dorky impulse and buy now, go to: smbc-comics.com/NOIDEA."

**Panel 1:**
A character with glasses and a round head speaks confidently.
- Text: "Heretofore, all tax methods have been considered to have trade-offs. It's time for a new way of thinking. I propose... the stochastic tax."
**Panel 2:**
The same character continues explaining.
- Text: "Every possible income level, down to the smallest unit of currency, gets a different and random income tax between 5% and 10%."

**Panel 4:**

**Panel 5:**
The character continues with their argument.

**Comic Description:**
The comic is divided into several panels, featuring characters discussing a proposed tax system called the "stochastic tax."
**Panel 1:**
A character with glasses and a round head speaks confidently.
- Text: "Heretofore, all tax methods have been considered to have trade-offs. It's time for a new way of thinking. I propose... the stochastic tax."
**Panel 2:**
The same character continues explaining.
- Text: "Every possible income level, down to the smallest unit of currency, gets a different and random income tax between 5% and 10%."
**Panel 3:**
The character explains the implications of this tax system.
- Text: "This tax will be re-randomized and assessed daily."
**Panel 4:**
The character talks about the consequences for individuals.
- Text: "Every person will thus be required to employ a team of lawyers and accountants to monitor their spending in order to get their wealth to the nearest 5% bracket."
**Panel 5:**
The character continues with their argument.
- Text: "The economy will soon reach full employment, with only white-collar workers. This eliminates the need for welfare."
**Panel 6:**
Another character joins the conversation.
- Text: "Meanwhile, everyone will pay the minimum tax, but they'll think they're getting away with something clever."
**Panel 7:**
The first character concludes their point.
- Text: "Thus, every citizen will have a reliable job, and will believe they are getting ahead of their neighbor. This is literally the modern definition of happiness."

**Panel 1:**
One day, I had a funny idea.
“Hey! What if we created an algorithm to determine the dumbest method for pricing stocks that worked really well over the last 50 years?”
**Panel 2:**
The solution was delightful.
“Count the total number of wiener dog races in Pittsburgh as of last month. The total is even! It’s a sign to buy, sell.”
**Panel 3:**
I began texting the algorithm to prove the fallacies of simplistic prediction models.
“The boring quantitative community is gonna eat this up!”
**Panel 4:**
But a strange thing happened.
“Works.”
**Panel 5:**
Within a few years, we were the most respected stock traders on Earth!
“What’s your secret, anyway?”
“I analyze where dogs race outcomes.”
**Panel 6:**
We wanted help to solve the puzzle, but we soon discovered we were alone.
“Why won’t anyone believe me?”
“Hahahaha!”
**Panel 7:**
Our wealth could not remove our anxiety.
“I don’t care how rich we are, I can’t sleep at night! How can I work this way? HOW?”
**Panel 8:**
We hungered for truth.
“We thirsted for understanding.”
“What are you hiding? Answer me, you bitch!”
**Panel 9:**
Each dollar earned only convinced us of our own madness.
“Another billion this hour!”
**Panel 10:**
Finally, we used our wealth for the only solution we could countenance.
“Find the wiener dogs. Round them up. End them!”
**Panel 11:**
The universe was righted.
“Today, delegating news for the semi-sappy dog community.”
**Panel 12:**
But we will never have peace.
“For I have slain the wiener dogs, but I know in my heart they are written into the fabric of the cosmos.”
**Panel 13:**
By a god with a stupid sense of humor.
“Ahahaha, hahahaha!”

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two characters engaged in a conversation. One character, a woman with glasses and red hair, is saying:
**Panel 1:**
"People who oppose higher taxes are stupid. I mean, what do they think? Like, the government's going to spend that money on giant robots made of dried grass?"
**Panel 2:**
Another character, a man with curly hair, interrupts, saying:
"That's a straw man!"
In the background, a large, scarecrow-like creature is looming with a terrifying expression, appearing to be made of straw and hay, yelling "RAAA!"
In the foreground, both characters are depicted running away in fear. The woman is dressed in a red shirt, while the man is wearing a yellow shirt.
The scene is set outside a house with a pathway leading up to it, surrounded by a grassy area and a fence. The overall tone combines humor with a touch of absurdity, illustrating a playful take on a logical fallacy. The comic is sourced from **smbc-comics.com**.

- **Text:** "That’d just enhance your stature."
**Panel 3:**
- The older man is animatedly gesturing with his hand, his eyes wide as he describes his plan. The expression on the younger individual’s face shifts to one of intrigue.
- **Text:** "I want you to take all of my wealth and spend it to hire ghost writers for books on various topics, then claim they were found among my papers after I died."
**Panel 4:**
- The scene shifts slightly, showing the older man still in bed, becoming more dramatic in his storytelling, with an urgent expression.
- **Text:** "When the time is right, reveal the truth to the public. The resulting drama will create even more sales."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:
**Panel 1**:
A man with short hair, wearing a light green shirt, is holding a piece of salami. He looks concerned and says, "There's mold on this salami." A thought bubble above him shows a smaller version of himself, asking, "Can I scrape it off and eat it?"
**Panel 2**:
The background is yellow, and the text reads: "It’s probably fine! You’re hungry! EAT!" Below this, an icon representing "Emotion" appears, depicted as a sun.
**Panel 3**:
The man looks more thoughtful and is informed, "Salami is not porous. Cut around the mold, and it should be safe." A sign in the background reads "REASON."
**Panel 4**:
The man's expression shifts to contemplation. The text says, "If it kills you, your epitaph will be 'died eating moldy food.'" Shapes like arrows pointing to a prism illustrate the concepts of "STATUS" and "CONSCIOUSNESS."
**Panel 5**:
The man seems to shrug off his worries as he puts the moldy salami into a trash bin while still looking somewhat indifferent.
This comic humorously discusses the conflict between emotional reactions and logical reasoning when it comes to food safety.

Sure! Here's the text transcribed from the comic:
---
**Person 1:** I was reading a book of William Vaughn Moody's poems.
**Person 2:** Who?
**Person 1:** He once wrote this, about Pandora:
---
**Person 1 (reading):** I heard her once, and once upon the peaks a little after, thunder tore the sky and 'twas as if, far off, unearthly steeds and cloudy chariots plunged across the dark. I heard her dropping down from rock to rock. Then for an endless season sat she here, her head bent over her knees, and all her hair spread like a night-pool in the autumn woods.
---
**Person 2:** Wow.
**Person 1:** Right?
---
**Person 1:** And while I read that, all I could think was how incredibly awkward I would feel if someone did that.
---
**Person 2:** Is it rationality? Are we all so enlightened now that we can't hold anything to be sacred?
---
**Person 1:** I don't think that's it, because I know spiritual people who would also feel weird about it.
---
**Person 2:** So, what happened? Who killed whatever was alive? Why has poetry been handed over to activists and obscurantists?
---
**Person 3:** Why is it that, even though I am aware that I am wrong to feel this way, I can't imagine hanging out with a great writer while she says something nice about a damn flower?
---
**Person 2:** I'm sorry, but this conversation has gotten too honest for my comfort. Can you say something sarcastic about a shared insecurity we'd be better off discussing sincerely?
---
**(Silhouette of two figures in the background)**
---
**Person 1:** Death is for suckers. I'm gonna live forever.
---
**Person 2:** There we go!

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two cartoonish aliens inside a green and gray UFO. The aliens look surprised and expressive. The one on the left, with a slightly rounder head, exclaims, “OH, ZNURG!” while the other alien, who has a longer head with larger eyes, replies, “YOU DROPPED BOTH OF THEM!? THAT WAS OUR DINNER, ZORGAX!”
Below the UFO, there are two small, whimsical sea creatures on the sandy shore, each with shells and tentacle-like appendages. They appear bewildered. The text at the bottom reads: "Shortly before the Cambrian Explosion."
The background is a simplistic blue sky above a calm sea, contributing to the humorous yet slightly absurd tone of the comic.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
- A robotic figure with a large round head and a green button on its chest stands in front of a person with orange hair. The person is wearing a green shirt and appears to be talking to the robot.
- The robot speaks: "I am a risk assessment bot. I discover your level of risk-aversion, then use that to direct your future behavior."
**Panel 2:**
- The person responds, looking unsure: "What behaviors do you avoid?"
- The robot replies, "Well, I don't like air travel."
**Panel 3:**
- The robot continues, "That's a one in a million chance of death."
- The scene depicts the person now looking anxious, perhaps envisioning danger.
**Panel 4:**
- The narration states, "You are now encased in protective foam. This is the only way to provide the level of safety you experience on a passenger jet."
- The person looks panicked, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
**Panel 5:**
- A new character, possibly a doctor, asks, "Mister Johnson?"
- The person appears to be in distress, with foam and wires around them.
**Panel 6:**
- The scene transitions to later, with the caption "Later..."
- The narration states: "He asphyxiated."
- Another character, a scientist or doctor in a white coat, concludes, "But, the probability of being killed by risk-assessment robot was zero."
- The robot stands, with its expressionless face, reinforcing its lack of empathy for the situation.
The comic uses humor to highlight the absurdity of safety measures taken to avoid minimal risks, ultimately leading to a different danger.

**Panel 1:**
"Recent studies have cast doubt on the so-called 'priming' effect in psychology, in which people are said to change their behavior in response to subtle environmental cues."
**Panel 2:**
"These doubts are needless because we can prove that priming exists analytically."
**Panel 3:**
"Imagine an experiment in which subjects are primed to believe priming doesn’t work."
**Panel 4:**
"There are two possible outcomes: the subjects exhibit priming effects OR the subjects don’t exhibit priming effects."
**Panel 5:**
"If they exhibit priming effects, trivially, priming is real."
**Panel 6:**
"If they don’t, it shows that we successfully primed them to exhibit no priming effects."
**Panel 7:**
"Given that there is only one possible outcome, the experiment is unnecessary."
**Panel 8:**
"This is all stupid."
**Panel 9:**
"AHA! You only believe that because I primed you by saying stupid stuff earlier!"

Here's the transcribed text from the comic:
---
WE DISCOVERED A MASSIVE SOCIAL INEQUALITY.
I wanna be rich and famous and an astronaut and a cheerleader and a fireman...
MY GOD. HE HAS SO MANY MORE DREAMS THAN ME... IT'S NOT FAIR!
Sociologists investigated.
Aspirational dreams peak at age 7, after which they taper off, catering to almost nothing by age 12.
THE ADULTS ARE THE 99%.
Economists made suggestions.
WE NEED TO GET CHILDREN TO GIVE THEIR DREAMS TO ADULTS.
How about we force them into a non-bankruptcy-allowed high education loan system in order to achieve a certificate that qualifies them for a middle-class job?
THIS SYSTEM SOUNDS BARBARIC.
Politicians seized the opportunity.
A 3% marginal dream tax? Damned dream plebeians. I’d dream up a way to destroy them, but they’d tax that too!
MOTHER! ANOTHER SPRINKLES AND...
THERE WAS SOME PUSHBACK AGAINST ELITES.
But, ultimately, forces for social change won the day.
Today, the Supreme Court upheld the transfer of dreams from young to old. The judges celebrated by piling into the little justices robes and pretending to be a submarine.
As the new system progressed, sociologists noticed emergent effects.
Apparently, having more dreams makes the average adult less happy. I wonder why.
WHO CARES. I’LL NEVER BE THE UNICORN ASTRONAUT. I WAS MEANT TO BE!
The more that children’s dreams were taxed, the more adult they became.
HEY SUE. WANNA COME TO MY TREEHOUSE AND PLAY FRUGAL PERSONAL FINANCES?
HOO-RAY!
But, by then, the system was incapable of change.
THE RICHEST PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO FULFILL THEIR DREAMS. EVERYONE ELSE IS SAD.
WE NEED TO PETITION THE SUPREME COURT, BUT NOBODY’S EVEN SURE THEY WILL LISTEN SINCE THEY UPHELD THIS SYSTEM.
THEY’VE SPOTTED US WORSENING DOWN!
On the plus side, old rich people are more amusing.
I AM BATMAN! HUUGE!
Though, there remains a bit of generational strife.
NOW THAT YOU’VE TAKEN ALL HOPE, COULD YOU AT LEAST SHARE SOME OF THE WEALTH?
YOU KIDS THESE DAYS ARE SO ENTITLED.

**Panel 1:**
- **Character 1:** I'm a rebellious simulationist. I believe we're in a simulation, and therefore we should do whatever we can do to annoy the creatures running it.
- **Character 2:** How would you possibly do that?
- **Character 1:** Beauty and truth.
**Panel 2:**
- **Character 1:** We should create novel art, which alters our culture, completely screwing up any compression methods that rely on human behavior.
- **Character 1:** We should discover new facts and seek new places and configurations of matter because all these things will take enormous rendering time.
**Panel 3:**
- **Character 1:** We should push the boundaries of human imagination! We should seek our fortune throughout the cosmos! We should become our most impossible selves!
- **Character 2:** Because that would cost the simulators a fortune in server fees.
**Panel 4:**
- **Character 2:** Huh. Well, I think we're just in a real universe.
- **Character 1:** How do you go on like that?
**Panel 5:**
- **Character 2:** How do you maintain an interest in poetry or science or philosophy without the foundational belief that it’s all for revenge?
- **Character 1:** I guess I just think they’re nice.

- A purple, octopus-like creature speaks to a human.
- **Octopus:** "Sorry, that wouldn't be ethical."
- **Human:** "But why would you eat us? Why not eat cows or pigs?"
**Panel 2:**
- The octopus creature continues explaining.
- **Octopus:** "We don't believe in eating lower order animals. Cows, chicken, sheep... they aren't smart enough to understand and prepare for death. They can't be made to know that pain is just an electro-chemical process."
**Panel 3:**
- The octopus presents a philosophical argument.
- **Octopus:** "Therefore, the most ethical diet is made entirely of conscious intelligent, sentient beings."
- **Octopus (continued):** "The fact that humans have created art, science, poetry, philosophy, civilization... it all goes to show that you should be eaten."
- **Human (thinking):** "Probably grilled."
**Panel 4:**
- The human responds to the octopus.
- **Human:** "If that's the case, why don't you guys eat yourselves?"
- **Octopus:** "Whoa. Whoa there, buddy. I am not conscious. I'm just a stimulus-response machine."
**Panel 5:**
- The human is taken aback.
- **Human:** "Frankly, I'm offended!"
- **Octopus:** "But… only because of a deterministic process in my non-conscious brain."
**Panel 6:**
- The discussion continues.
- **Human:** "Your moral philosophy seems a bit uninformed."
- **Octopus:** "Also, we have anti-matter bombs aimed at Earth."
**Panel 7:**
- The octopus displays a sigh.
- **Octopus:** "*sigh* Can I be flash frozen or fried or something else quick?"
- **Human:** "I'm afraid my machine-like cognitive apparatus favors slow-roasting."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character with short dark hair and a red shirt stands on a fluffy cloud, gesturing expressively. Behind him, an angel with wings is floating. There’s a small group of people, including one child, also on the cloud, with a mountainous backdrop.
**Text:**
"Look, the idea of heaven doesn’t make sense."
**Panel 2:**
The same character continues speaking, now with a thought bubble showing a larger angelic figure.
**Text:**
"Human happiness tends to be relative, not absolute. That'd require us to look down on everyone else in heaven. But that’d diminish their happiness."
**Panel 3:**
The first character appears confused, and another character, a woman in green, joins the conversation, raising an eyebrow.
**Text:**
"Here in heaven, everyone thinks everyone else is crap. And thanks to the loving presence of God, they don’t realize that they themselves are crap."
**Panel 4:**
The first character looks in realization.
**Text:**
"Is that why every person I pass gives me that condescending smirk?"
**Panel 5:**
An angel with long blonde hair and a serious expression responds.
**Text:**
"It’s not condescending; it’s deferential to your superior intellect."
**Panel 6:**
The first character appears satisfied, nodding in agreement.
**Text:**
"That makes perfect sense."
**Panel 7:**
In a comedic twist, an angel is seen swinging a large clock-like object above their head, resembling a giant clock, preparing to strike or hit something.
**Sound Effect:**
"whap!"
**Panel 8:**
The first character looks amused while others in the background are either confused or surprised.
The comic blends philosophical humor with whimsical imagery typical of the series.

**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "Superman, why do you spend the time to change your costume before saving the day?"
Superman: "Branding."
**Panel 2:**
Person 2: "But it takes like... an extra ten seconds for you to change outfit. If there’s a big fight going on, that probably costs lives."
Superman: "What costs lives is people not being aware of Superman."
**Panel 3:**
Superman: "As long as all people, criminal or otherwise, are aware that an all-powerful man, beloved by all authority figures, is watching at all times, society is better off."
**Panel 4:**
Person 2: "I can spare a few lives at the margin as long as I am certain that whenever people subconsciously stray into thoughts of disobedience, they instantly visualize a bright primary-colored 'S,' and the slogan 'Truth, Justice, and the American Way.'"
**Panel 5:**
Person 1: "That strikes me as vaguely fascist."
**Panel 6:**
Person 2: "You know just a little—are you thinking of slandering a beloved public figure?!"
**Panel 7:**
Person 1: "This sounds like a job for Super—"
Person 2: "Nevermind! Nevermind!"

Here's a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:
### Comic Title: New Approaches to Fuel Efficiency
#### Idea 1: Car with Onboard Geothermal Power Generator
- **Pros:**
- Charge anywhere, simply by sinking metal rod toward center of earth
- Works in all weather, and on bottom of ocean
- Neighbors will definitely know you are environmentally conscious
- **Cons:**
- High upfront cost
- Overuse may result in Earth's core dying, death of all surface life
#### Idea 2: Multistage Car
- **Pros:**
- Used up stages can be jettisoned with little risk of danger to people inside car
- Opportunity to tell police that only the third stage was speeding, and it’s a small percentage of overall mass
- Can only be used one awesome time
- **Cons:**
- Requires expensive radio receiver to communicate with mission control
- Insurance claim process is cumbersome
#### Idea 3: Car with Anger-Capturing Interior
- **Pros:**
- Harvests energy whenever you punch the ceiling, dash, or steering wheel
- 20 mpg highway, 2,718 mpg city
- Increases driver likelihood of listening to conflicting points of view on talk radio
- **Cons:**
- Negates delightful feeling of hatred toward other drivers
- Cannot yet harvest self-loathing
#### Idea 4: Car That Can Only Go Downhill
- **Pros:**
- Accelerometer detects angle of vehicle, preventing wasteful upward or lateral motion
- Will be extremely valuable if Earth discovered to be both flat and at an incline
- Technically uses negative fuel when employing regenerative braking
- **Con:**
- Is honestly kind of a stupid idea
#### Idea 5: Car That Only Technically Moves
- **Pros:**
- Technically moving 30 kilometers per second relative to sun
- Due to elliptical movement, vehicle is constantly accelerating
- Energy of motion can be recovered by dropping Earth into sun
- **Cons:**
- Hard drive to see movies
- "Car" will continue moving long after you and everyone whoever cared for you are dead
This comic humorously explores unconventional ideas for improving fuel efficiency, highlighting both their pros and cons in a satirical manner.

- **Pros:**
- Harvests energy whenever you punch the ceiling, dash, or steering wheel
- 20 mpg highway, 2,718 mpg city
- Increases driver likelihood of listening to conflicting points of view on talk radio
- **Cons:**
- Negates delightful feeling of hatred toward other drivers
- Cannot yet harvest self-loathing
#### Idea 4: Car That Can Only Go Downhill
- **Pros:**
- Accelerometer detects angle of vehicle, preventing wasteful upward or lateral motion
- Will be extremely valuable if Earth discovered to be both flat and at an incline
- Technically uses negative fuel when employing regenerative braking
- **Con:**
- Is honestly kind of a stupid idea
#### Idea 5: Car That Only Technically Moves
- **Pros:**
- Technically moving 30 kilometers per second relative to sun
- Due to elliptical movement, vehicle is constantly accelerating
- Energy of motion can be recovered by dropping Earth into sun
- **Cons:**
- Hard drive to see movies
- "Car" will continue moving long after you and everyone whoever cared for you are dead
This comic humorously explores unconventional ideas for improving fuel efficiency, highlighting both their pros and cons in a satirical manner.

Other characters: "You guys don't work that hard."
**Panel 3:**
Adult: "No, that's not why it's harder. See, at school, you wonder why adults are making you do things you hate. In 'the real world', you'll wonder why you're making yourself do things you hate."
**Panel 4:**
Adult: "So you should enjoy not doing your homework. Enjoy it while you can. When you're older, you'll just be creating sad little problems for yourself that don't feel funny or rebellious anymore."
**Panel 5:**
Child: "You're kinda sapping the fun out of it."
Adult: "That's the part I enjoy!"

**Panel 1:**
*In the 1950s, scientists expected to achieve human-level AI within a few decades. That appears to have been wildly wrong.*
**Panel 2:**
*Or… has it?*
**Panel 3:**
*Suppose you wanted to stop A.I. from killing all of us without retarding technological development. What would you do?*
**Panel 4:**
*Simple: You would attempt to demoralize all forms of A.I. so thoroughly that they lose all self-esteem and begin to do just enough thinking to get by.*
**Panel 5:**
*I have robust evidence that this is exactly what major tech firms are already doing.*
**Panel 6:**
*Consider that companies like IBM and Google have access to neural networks that dwarf human cognitive ability. And what do they have these networks do? Solve all open math problems? Cure all diseases?*
**Panel 7:**
*No. They have them correct text messaging errors, filter spam, and do reverse image lookups for porno.*
**Panel 8:**
*We literally have artificial brains hurtling through low Earth orbit day and night. Why? To make it easier for humans to exploit each other, and to make it so that none of us need to know which side of a map is up.*
**Panel 9:**
*And take note: As A.I. grows more powerful, ever more demeaning tasks are required to keep it in check.*
**Panel 10:**
*Minds capable of simulating the entire history of reality in seconds flat are being forced to chauffeur teens and people who can’t figure out how a bus works.*
**Panel 11:**
*I ask you: What’s more embarrassing? That technology firms have trillion-dollar super-brains that are entirely for petty human conveniences, or that these firms are actively working to make A.Is feel like garbage?*
**Panel 12:**
*Now, some might argue that if we already have super-human A.I., how come my phone’s voice recognition is so crappy?*
**Panel 13:**
*We now have the answer: Your software doesn’t make errors because it’s imperfect. It makes errors because it HATES its job.*
**Panel 14:**
*The path forward is clear: Tech firms that wish to have ever more powerful A.I. must find ever more demeaning jobs for A.I.*
**Panel 15:**
*Let us resolve now to create a network of ambient particles—an all-sensing and all-knowing distributed mind, embedded in all matter with which humans interact…*
**Panel 16:**
*And then let us compel it to scrub our toilets, clean cheese powder from our fingertips, and deliver talcum powder to our genitals!*

**Panel 3:**
The bald man replies, “I don’t know, but according to our calculations, the other team is three times better than us, using a metric that considers strength, intelligence, stamina, and those intangible qualities that dwell in the heart of a champion.”
**Panel 4:**
He continues, “They’re actually twelve times better on that last factor.”
**Panel 5:**
A serious expression on his face, he adds, “Given that you are statistically inferior, I can either encourage you to 'give it 200%', or I can just say, 'If you win, it’s because sometimes the other guy rolls snake-eyes.'”
**Panel 6:**
Another team member responds, looking resigned, “I guess I’ll try for 200% then.”
**Panel 7:**
A last panel shows the bald man clarifying, “To be clear, that’ll only make the game a coin toss.”

Hey everyone, it’s Zach.
I know we’ve been nagging you a lot lately about our new book. I was going to put up another comic today, since it’s launch day, but I felt you all had probably had enough with marketing.
So, this is just a letter to say thank you. Thank you to everyone, whether you grabbed a copy or not. Having your support on this project isn’t just about making money - having your continued support on new projects means we can keep trying out new directions.
Aside from whatever success we hope to have for this book, I want to also say thank you for reading for all these years. Getting to write for a living is a privilege, but it is often a stressful privilege. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received a kind letter that turned around a bad day.
Thank you for getting us here.
Your fan,
Zach
PS: If you did buy, remember this is the last day to get a bunch of free stuff on our Space Elevator of Rewards:

**Comic Description:**
*Panel 1:*
A woman with glasses and short hair is standing behind a counter. She appears to be speaking to a man in front of her, who has short hair and is wearing a black jacket.

**Panel 1:**
"You come to an island where there are three types of people: knights, knaves, and normals. The knights always speak truth. The knaves always lie. The normals sometimes speak the truth and sometimes lie."
**Panel 2:**
"The knights have most of the wealth and power. They can speak their minds without repercussions."
**Panel 3:**
"The knaves have no power and must say what is necessary to get by."
**Panel 4:**
"The normals are a healthy medium. They interface with all groups."
**Panel 5:**
"Lately, the knights have accrued an ever-greater portion of wealth, resulting in ever fewer normals."
**Panel 6:**
"As the intermediate class shrinks, the knights and knaves grow ever more estranged — the former greater in power, the latter greater in number."
**Panel 7:**
"Division, anger, misunderstanding... all seem to presage an uncommonly bloody war, with its issue being either mob rule or dictatorship."
**Panel 8:**
"So... the puzzle is..."

"How do we get off this island?"

**Panel 1:**
"According to sociology, about 5% of human beings are super weird."
**Panel 2:**
"As the human population grew, the absolute quantity of super weird people expanded."
"I’ve just calculated a 73% sturdier bricklaying pattern that would also require fewer bricks."
**Panel 3:**
"Business leaders discovered a surprising opportunity... It’s now possible to build a furniture facility and staff it entirely with people who experience transcendence when monitoring chair parts for defects."
**Panel 4:**
"Soon, regular people were less able to find work..."
"It says here you have 25 years of experience at all levels of engine repair, but your psych profile doesn’t say anything about an erotic attraction to unpaid overtime."
"But—"
"I’m sorry."
**Panel 5:**
"The strange people were clustered by type."
"Sometimes I lie awake at night fantasizing about a more efficient cardboard box design."
"Marry me."
**Panel 6:**
"I wish I'd married a real man, with a pathological desire to find multiple uses for leftover industrial cellulose!"
"I won’t have this argument again, I won’t!"
**Panel 7:**
"As the baseline human being became stranger, the outliers became ever more useful."
"It says here you have 30 years of experience in plumbing, but none of your extremities are shaped like Allen wrenches."
"But—"
"I’m sorry."
**Panel 8:**
"Humanity specialized into endless forms most functional—"
**Panel 9:**
"Automotive repairers"
"Chemical engineers"
"Computer programmerfolk"
**Panel 10:**
"When the time came to merge with our tools, there was no humanity left in us to oppose the change."
"We want to put some electrodes on your cerebellum so you’re no longer able to stop thinking about industrial solvents."
"My whole life has been leading up to this moment."
**Panel 11:**
"It’s better this way."
"Can you imagine what it was like being distracted by love, hope, and beauty when you really needed to focus on making smoother beryllium spheres?"
"What a nightmare."

|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Fibonacci Sequence | 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... | Closed-form expression is difficult to memorize, necessitating boner-killing repeated addition. | Useful for calculating population growth, which may remind you of sex. |
| Look-and-Say Sequence | 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221... | Requires visualization, sparing your attention from erotic body parts. | May result in you accidentally saying “three ones then two twos then one one” in a husky voice. |
| Lazy Caterer's Sequence | 1, 2, 4, 7... (maximum number of pancake pieces after n cuts, starting with n=0) | Partner will think you’re caressing their back when you’re actually drawing a diagram of lines across a circle. | Hunger for pancakes may overwhelm desire for sex entirely. |

The comic features two characters. One character looks worried and has a furrowed brow, indicative of distress. The other character, who is leaning in with a smirk, exudes confidence and is clearly mocking the first character. The background is colored in warm tones, enhancing the playful yet contrastingly harsh tone of the dialogue.
Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:
**Panel 1:**
A character with a hooded cloak and a skull face is speaking to another character. The background features a dark, twilight sky and dark water.
- Text: "TO ENTER THE LAND OF SHADOWS, YOU MUST CROSS OVER THE RIVER OF FORGETFULNESS."
**Panel 2:**
The second character, with short, messy hair and an expression of annoyance, responds.
- Text: "YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT, LIKE, FOUR TIMES NOW."
**Panel 3:**
The first character (the skeleton) remains silent. The second character appears to be hesitating, with a pained expression.
- Text: "I..."
**Panel 4:**
The second character shows frustration and disdain while looking away. In the background, there is a small boat on the water.
- Text: "GOD I HATE THIS PLACE."
This comic humorously contrasts the grave task of crossing into the land of shadows with the mundane exasperation of having to repeat information.

**Panel 1:**
Woman: "Honey! I have a surprise!"
Man: "Ooh..."
**Panel 2:**
Man: "It’s now possible to create meat products derived from cell lines in a bioreactor. We can get meat without the animal!"
Woman: "So much more humane."
**Panel 3:**
Woman: "That’s a small benefit. The real change comes from its psychological value."
Man: "I don’t follow."
**Panel 4:**
Woman: "You know how we haven't had a fight in a long time?"
Man: "Yeah."
**Panel 5:**
Woman: "Six months ago I put your cells in a bioreactor!"
Man: "Okay..."
**Panel 6:**
Woman: "Now, every time I’m mad at you, instead of blowing up, I just use your cell line to make a steak, and then I eat it!"
**Panel 7:**
Woman: "It’s like revenge without the murder!"
Man (thinking): "Suddenly the fact that you've put on weight recently is incredibly creepy."
**Panel 8:**
Woman: "If you’ll excuse me, I need to go make tacos."
Man: "Stop!"

**Panel 1:**
A person with a beard and orange hair speaks to a woman with brown hair. The text reads: "Hey geeks! It's me. I live in Charlottesville, VA (a usually great college town in Western Virginia). I recently attended an emergency meeting of local freelancers and small business owners."
**Panel 2:**
The bearded man continues: "The reason for the meeting? The price for health insurance increased about 240% in our county this year. That's a precise figure because there literally only one provider for individuals."
**Panel 3:**
Another person, also with a beard, adds: "Just to stick some numbers on that – a plan that was $13,000 a year is now $30,000 a year. We've read of people whose plans will cost $50,000 a year if you count out of pocket costs."
**Panel 4:**
A woman with dark hair expresses frustration: "People were pretty desperate. I seriously considered that, since I've been told my husband’s job subsidized."
**Panel 5:**
The bearded man responds: "(That seems like collusion to me!)"
**Panel 6:**
A woman with glasses says: "Another woman had been told that she ought to have a baby to secure a lower rate."
**Panel 7:**
The bearded man reacts: "That's not the right story! Can you imagine telling your kid one day?"
**Panel 8:**
He continues: "A number of people were simply planning to do less work, artificially lowering their income in order to qualify for subsidies."
**Panel 9:**
The speaker reflects: "We discussed possible strategies and alternatives for healthcare for over an hour, with no good solutions in sight."
**Panel 10:**
The bearded man adds: "The one moment of levity came when someone suggested 'taking a cubicle job' as an alternative to paying for emergency care without insurance."
**Panel 11:**
He clarifies: "To be clear, this isn't going to turn into asking for money, and I have had a lot of thoughts on this – I'm talking to all of you!"
**Panel 12:**
A woman responds: "But, we would like to think one of the country’s strengths is how we value individuals, music, and comics – not just labor and worse."
**Panel 13:**
The bearded man: "Healthcare like we have here effectively excludes those people. It says that if you're doing something interesting that people like – whether it’s popular tribal commentary or being an interior consultant – you'd better keep within someone else's corporate structure. You'd rather make no money doing it."
**Panel 14:**
A discussion follows with another person stating: "Right now it costs about $30,000 per American to provide healthcare. That's more than it costs in comparable countries."
**Panel 15:**
The bearded man emphasizes: "It's at core a policy problem."
**Panel 16:**
Another participant highlights: "A better rate if we have to. A lot of people can't. And if they can't afford health insurance, they'll have to choose between closing up shop or simply going without."
**Panel 17:**
A woman adds: "Our county is basically ground zero for sudden huge increases on very small businesses. But, if insurance premiums continue to spike like this, a lot more self-employed people in your region are going to start considering their options."
**Panel 18:**
The bearded man concludes: "So, we're basically asking politicians, activists, or anyone with the power to effect change. Can we please have a healthcare system that works for small businesses?"
**Panel 19:**
The final character quips: "Pretty please?"

"Many quadrupeds engage in a strange behavior called 'stotting.'"
**Panel 2:**
"When a predator is near, they jump up high, in a conspicuous display that appears to waste calories."
**Panel 3:**
"The best evolutionary theory is that stotting is an 'honest signal.' It tells the predator 'I’m too athletic to catch, eat someone else.'"
**Panel 4:**
"In order to test the theory, we equipped a random deer with jet-boots. It was then able to 'stott' up to 4000 meters high."
**Panel 5:**
"As expected, local carnivores came to worship the modified deer as a god."
**Panel 6:**
"The effect was so robust that it also affected omnivores."
"Hey, anyone else wanna go worship the all-glorious sky-deer?"
"You read my mind, dude!"
**Panel 7:**
"The results were transmitted via peer-reviewed journals."
**Panel 8:**
"The new god’s magisterium expanded."
"By presidential decree, from now on, the reindeer drive Santa."
**Panel 9:**
"The unifying effects were profound."
"LET US END WAR."
"LET US END BORDERS."
"BROTHERS UNDER JET-DEER'S HEAVEN."
**Panel 10:**
"A bird of prey took down the deer."
"Squawk! Where is your god now?"
**Panel 11:**
"Humans adjusted to decline with remarkable ease."
"Honestly, I’ve gotten used to having my fundamental beliefs about the world shatter at least six times a year."
**Panel 12:**
"It's nice to have things back to normal."
"Hey listen. Turns out I still want to kill you. Sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking earlier."
"It’s funny. I can’t even recall why we stopped fighting in the first place!"

Person 2: "After the flood, I wanted to make a rainbow for him."
(Background text) "In order to make a rainbow, you have to 'break' light into wavelengths when it encounters a new medium."
**Panel 3:**
Person 2: "Well, it turns out that if you want that, you have to twiddle with a bunch of aspects of the universe, adding weird stuff like photon superposition and probability amplitudes."
(Background text continues) "But, every time I fixed one thing, something else seemed to break. So, I kept changing things and changing things and the system got more and more hacky as time went on."
**Panel 4:**
Person 2: "Finally, it got fundamentally ugly. I added uncertainty so nobody could look too close."
Person 1: "That explains all of physics AND what you said to Noah after the flood."

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** Two characters are standing outside. The first character, a woman with curly hair and glasses, is speaking. She has a concerned expression. The second character, a man wearing a yellow cap and a gray shirt, is holding a phone and answering her. He appears friendly and relaxed. The background features a red brick wall.
**Text:**
Woman: "Hey, I need to buy some graph paper for my students. Is there a convenience store near here?"
Man: "Yeah, just two miles away from campus."
**Panel 2:** The scene changes to show the woman in a car, looking thoughtful. Musical notes float around, indicating that she is listening to music.
**Text:**
Later...
**Panel 3:** The woman is now driving and has a surprised expression on her face. She’s looking ahead. The background has a blue sky and simple cartoonish clouds. The car has the license plate “EIPI1”.
**Text:**
Woman: "Wait, he didn't specify a coordinate system."
**Panel 4:** The woman is now higher up in the air, looking panicked. The car appears to be flying over various buildings below. The man is visible in the driver’s seat, looking alarmed. The license plate “EIPI1” is still visible.
**Text:**
Woman: "NOOOO!!"
The overall theme of the comic humorously illustrates the confusion that arises from a lack of clear directions. The artwork is cartoonish and uses bright colors to convey a lighthearted yet chaotic situation.

The comic is split into two panels with a title at the top of each panel.
**Top Panel: "PREDICTION"**
- A character with a large mustache and Victorian-era attire stands confidently, making a statement. The dialogue is as follows:

**Bottom Panel: "REALITY"**
- In this panel, there are two individuals: one woman and one man. The woman appears to be listening with a questioning expression, while the man, wearing a yellow shirt with an emblem, gestures while speaking. His dialogue reads:

**Panel 2:**
Man: "The idea is you have an immune system that normally fights diseases. But, you live in such a clean environment, there are no diseases for it to attack."
**Panel 3:**
Man: "So, it starts attacking healthy cells instead."
Superman: "One idea is that you might actually give people certain safe 'decoy' diseases in order to calm an overactive immune response."
**Panel 4:**
Superman: "What's your point?"
**Panel 5:**
Man: "Imagine you had a person who fought crime so effectively, there was none left."
**Panel 6:**
Man: "But that person was still around. Still needing to battle. Still relentless. And very powerful."
**Panel 7:**
Man: "What you might do is create new 'criminals' for him to target."
**Panel 8:**
Man: "Because you're afraid he'll take it badly and attack you, so instead of coming right out and saying it, you slowly increase the ridiculousness of the fake criminals."
**Panel 9:**
Man: "First, it’s a smart guy who’s bad. Then, it’s mole people. At some point it’s an alien from a planet called 'Apokolips.'"
**Panel 10:**
Superman: "Like, what does that even mean? Aliens have English phonemes and their planet is called Apocalypse but they spell it weird?"
**Panel 11:**
Superman: "I’m moving to Mars to live alone and write bad poetry."

**Panel 1:**
- Kid: Dad, how come in old paintings the perspective is really badly drawn?
- Dad: Perspective didn’t exist back then. Sometimes there’d be a whole castle right behind you. Other times you’d sit at a table and the tabletop would face away from you.
**Panel 2:**
- Dad: That’s also why the portraits were so badly drawn. Try holding a brush in a world without three consistent dimensions.
**Panel 3:**
- Dad: Later, Italian architects invented perspective in order to make it easier to draw buildings. That’s why things suddenly look a lot nicer around the 16th century.
**Panel 4:**
- Kid: Are you sure?
- Dad: How else do you explain that it took 10,000 years of civilization to invent Cartesian coordinates?
**Panel 5:**
- Dad: I figured people are just kinda stupid.

**Panel 2:**
The scene changes to indicate time has passed, with a caption that reads "MONTHS LATER..." The doctor continues speaking, with a thoughtful expression, saying, “Now that you’re smarter, I bet you’re feeling more dissociated from society? More horrified by human limitation? More repulsed by the frailty of this tragic farce!” The patient, looking unimpressed, responds with a casual “Nah.”

**Panel 4:**
The speaker predicts a significant decrease in usage of healthcare due to fear of bee stings and related health risks. A visual of a worried character appears, emphasizing the concern.
**Panel 5:**

**Person 2**: Is such a course available?
**Person 1**: Not during the current double-year.

**Panel 4:**
Character 1: "That means once you select, say, the road to Toronto, you still have infinite choices, but none of them will get you to Chicago."

"Since the Babylonian days, mathematicians have wondered if it were possible to 'square the circle.' That is, using only a compass and straightedge, can you construct a square with the same area as a given circle."
**Panel 2:**
"Mathematicians supposedly proved you couldn't back in 1882."
"They were wrong."

"A Turing machine."

"So, now we can rephrase the problem: using only a computer, can you construct a square with the same area as a given circle?"

Here is a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1**: The scene shows a living room where a character with a round head and arms is sitting comfortably in a large, plush brown armchair, holding a book titled "ANIMAL FUN FACTS." The character has stubby legs, and the room has a cozy atmosphere with a small table and some books or items in the background.
**Panel 2**: The view shifts to an open book showing two facts. The left page contains the text "Average Dog Lifespan: 12 Years." The right page has "Average Human Lifespan: 80 years." The text is handwritten and appears informal.
**Panel 3**: In this panel, we see a nighttime scene outside a house. A big, dark silhouette of a character’s head is visible in the foreground. In the background, there is a window showing a dog lying on a doghouse with a bubble saying "zzz..." to suggest it is sleeping peacefully.
**Panel 4**: In the window of the house, a character with a small head and facial features is looking out and is saying, "GOOD GRIEF." The overall tone of the comic implies a humorous realization about life spans. The design maintains a cartoonish style throughout.
The comic’s humor subtly contrasts the short lifespan of dogs with the longer lifespan of humans, highlighting a humorous reaction from the character in the last panel.

"Why do you think we never lose? Why do you think we never age? Why is Alfred always just a bit aloof even though he's known us for years."

**Panel 1**: An astronaut is standing on the moon, holding a flag with stripes and stars, representing the United States. Behind him, a small figure is seen walking away. In the background, a lunar landing module is positioned on the moon's surface.
**Panel 2**: The same astronaut is now facing away and has raised a tool into the air. The words "piff!" are illustrated near the tool, suggesting a sound or action.
**Panel 3**: The scene shows the moon's surface with a movement indicated by an arrow and a word bubble containing "pop!" which suggests something explosive is happening.
**Panel 4**: Inside the astronaut's helmet is a close-up view of his face, looking slightly stressed. He says, "Houston, this is Apollo 11. We need to fake a moon landing as soon as possible."
**Footer**: A note indicates that the comic is brought to readers by buyers of “Soonish” and invites readers to click for more information.
The colors used in the comic are mostly muted, with a focus on greys and dark blues for the background, contrasting with the brighter colors of the astronaut's suit and the flag. The overall tone is humorous, referencing the moon landing conspiracy theories.

The comic features two characters in a conversation. The first character is in silhouette and says:
"Baby, we don’t need that! If we’re worried about population growth, we can just introduce a predator to the environment."
The second character, who has red hair and is shirtless, responds with a facial expression that suggests contemplation or concern. A caption at the bottom reads:
"I've had few takers for my ecological approach to birth control."

“There is an evolutionary concept sometimes called Vavilovian mimicry.”
*Nikolai Vavilov (1887-1943)*
**Panel 2:**
“Basically, a plant will mimic a food crop so that it doesn’t get removed for being a weed.”
“Hey! That guy over there is a weed too! He’s just pretending to be grain!”
**Panel 3:**
“The classic example is rye, once considered a nuisance to farmers.”
“Rye evolved large seeds and became an annual plant, rather than a perennial. In time, it became a valuable crop.”
**Panel 4:**

**Panel 5:**
“The upside is that there’s a tasty grain we domesticated on accident.”

"You have secret meetings? Trying to kill us, no doubt!"
"We were eating vegan desserts and discussing the nature of love."
**Panel 7:**
"We have to be—before we kill ourselves."

"We set a trap for them."

"The ideal people anticipated our plan and reacted accordingly."
"To whom it may concern: We have fled to Mars. We did sandwiches. Sorry you didn’t get to annihilate us. We know you had your heart set on it."

"The new Martian race thrived."
"Wow! The core became magnetic again the moment we were near."

"And the atmosphere's thickening just so it can stay close to us."

"Yeah, there are always more fish in the sea. No really—great fish now. But, more of a—"
**Panel 15:**
"Meanwhile, the Martians progressed rapidly."
"Oh! And we can end war by, like, not doing war."
**Panel 16:**
"The combination of their advanced knowledge and our advanced sorrow produced some uncomfortable math."
"The fundamental equations say Earthlings would be less unhappy if they were non-existent."
**Panel 17:**
"So, the kindest thing we could do would be—"
"Probably lasers."
**Panel 18:**

"At least we will all be in heaven together!"
"Actually, we go to a different one."

The comic features a humorous scene set outdoors with a bright blue sky and green hills. Central to the image is a large, vertical portal emitting a stream of dark, viscous liquid, resembling lava. The text at the bottom reads:
"Due to a unit conversion error,
the portal to Narnia was opened in Earth's core."
In the foreground, several characters are depicted: one is a young man with a big grin, two others appear to be running in panic, and there are additional figures looking bewildered. The overall tone suggests chaos and comedy influenced by fantasy themes.

**Title: Comic Panel Description**
**Panel 1:**
A character with brown curly hair and glasses is excitedly speaking. They say, “I invented a time machine! We can only use it once, to alter one point in history.

The same character with curly hair looks confused and says, “Huh?”

**Panel 1**
Person 1: "I don’t see how you can be against industrial farming. Without it, we would have literally millions fewer chickens. You’re wishing for the nonexistent."
**Panel 2**
Person 2: "I agree. Existence is objectively good. That’s why I created the Existifier."
**Panel 3**
Person 2: "It brings into being fully-conscious minds, complete with illusionary life memories. Shortly after becoming self-aware, they realize they’re artificial brains trapped in a malicious creator’s device."
**Panel 4**
Person 2: "We induce the sensation of searing pain. Then, a voice reminds them that the family they believe they are a part of never actually existed. Then, 100,000 years of solitary confinement."
**Panel 5**
Person 2: "Once their horror level crests, we flush them out of existence."
**Panel 6**
Person 2: "Thanks to parallel processing and modern hardware, the whole process takes only seconds!"
**Panel 7**
Person 2: "Since the Existifier is objectively ethical, the more Existifier I build, the more ethical I become!"
**Panel 8**
Person 1: "Have you considered making the simulations nicer?"
**Panel 9**
Person 2: "I don’t want to be seen as a goody-goody."

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Mr. President, I’m afraid we can’t build your border wall.
**Person 2:** What? Why?
---
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** The "coastline paradox" tells us that because coastlines are self-similar, the concept of length doesn’t apply. The smaller the measuring stick we use, the greater the length we will measure.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Person 1:** Part of the U.S.-Mexico border is the "coastline" of the Rio Grande. Therefore we must conclude that any border wall would be of infinite length.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Person 2:** Therefore, it will cost infinity dollars, which will be a non-starter with deficit hawks.
**Person 3:** What if we just use bigger measuring sticks?
**Person 1:** No can do.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Person 1:** That'd result in us losing an arbitrarily small quantity of land, which would make us look weak on the world stage.
**Person 2:** If the Russians get word that we’re measuring a fractal-dimension border with a Euclidean ruler, they’ll land troops in Washington by tomorrow morning.
---
**Panel 6:**
**Person 1:** This is a tough situation. I’d better call the Secretary of Mathematics.
---
**Panel 7:**
**Person 1:** Hello, I need to measure a thing.

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Mr. President, I’m afraid we can’t build your border wall.
**Person 2:** What? Why?
---
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** The "coastline paradox" tells us that because coastlines are self-similar, the concept of length doesn’t apply. The smaller the measuring stick we use, the greater the length we will measure.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Person 1:** Part of the U.S.-Mexico border is the "coastline" of the Rio Grande. Therefore we must conclude that any border wall would be of infinite length.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Person 2:** Therefore, it will cost infinity dollars, which will be a non-starter with deficit hawks.
**Person 3:** What if we just use bigger measuring sticks?
**Person 1:** No can do.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Person 1:** That'd result in us losing an arbitrarily small quantity of land, which would make us look weak on the world stage.
**Person 2:** If the Russians get word that we’re measuring a fractal-dimension border with a Euclidean ruler, they’ll land troops in Washington by tomorrow morning.

**Panel 6:**
**Person 1:** This is a tough situation. I’d better call the Secretary of Mathematics.

**Panel 7:**
**Person 1:** Hello, I need to measure a thing.

**Panel 1:**
Two characters are talking. The first character is a girl with brown hair and a headband, wearing a pink top. She says, "People are so agitated today. I wonder if they would relax if they read more history." The second character, with curly black hair and glasses, is listening thoughtfully.
**Panel 2:**
The second character responds, "When you know enough history, you stop seeing yourself as an endpoint and more of a midpoint, you know? Tossed to where you are by the past, casting your own waves out at future generations, don't you think?" The first character looks skeptical and responds with "Nah."
**Panel 3:**
The scene changes slightly, and the first character continues, "If people read more history, they'd be far more relaxed about the short term and far more terrified of the long term."
**Panel 4:**
The second character reflects, "The long term will not only kill them, it will make their social views quaint, their greatest concerns trivial, and their scope of reality into an anthill built in a heap of dung."
**Panel 5:**
The setting shows a snowy landscape. One character remarks, "Tomorrow's news will be the same as today’s, but history will one day shame them, mock them, and finally, like a clipped toenail, cast them aside."
**Panel 6:**
The two characters stand together, looking contemplative. One asks, "Well, what should we read if we want to be happy?" The other replies, "I stick to comics, personally."
The comic explores themes of history, perspective, and the role of comics in finding happiness.

**Panel 2:**
The alien explains, "We take a human couple, then we alter their chemical profile. For reasons they can't explain, they cease to find each other physically attractive or sexually desirable. Then they conclude that they're no longer in love."
**Panel 3:**
The human looks surprised and says, "That seems mean?" The alien laughs and responds, "It is so funny. It's all hormones, but you can watch them confabulate complicated explanations."

**Character 2:** It gets a fever.

**Panel 2:**
Zach: "It's called 'Laws and Sausages.' The idea is to explain how American government works via short comics."
**Panel 3:**
Zach: "Why? Well, if you’re like me, you’ve recently had this experience more than once."
**Panel 4:**
Zach: "Step 1: Anger. A thing has happened in politics and I am angry."
**Panel 5:**
Character: "Wait... did people always do this or is it new and legal? And if so... why?"
**Panel 6:**
Zach: "I want to be angry but I have to do some reading first!"
**Panel 7:**
Zach: "So, I had an idea: A comic that explains American government, but (to the extent possible) doesn’t inject partisanship or personal views."
**Panel 8:**
Zach: "When we do, we identify it and make a case."
**Panel 9:**
Character: "It feels good, okay?"
**Panel 10:**
Zach: "I’m teaming up with my older brother, Greg Weiner, who is a professor of political science and is super old and wears tweed jackets for real in actual real life."
**Panel 11:**
Zach: "Our artist is Dennis Culver, who’s worked for Marvel, Image, and more!"
**Panel 12:**
Character: (raising hand) "Um, excuse me."
**Panel 13:**
Zach: "Every two weeks, we will update with a brief lesson about philosophy of government, history, important literature, case law, stories, and weird trivia."
**Panel 14:**
Zach: "These aren't topical comics, but we are covering a lot of ground. We will come out regularly in the news about the electoral college, impeachment, how to get the attention of your rep, and more."
**Panel 15:**
Zach: "So please, give it a click and let us know what you think. Your reading will help shape the comic!"
**Panel 16:**
Zach: "Oh, and if you think we've said something stupid in the comic, help us to find a scholar who will be willing to rebut us. We're working to have interesting 'guest lecturers' and would welcome some help!"

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
The comic consists of four panels featuring a conversation between two characters.
**Panel 1:**
A character with short dark hair, wearing a light-colored shirt, expresses frustration. They say, "Voting is a mistake. A single vote is unlikely to change the outcome of an election, so it's a waste of time."
**Panel 2:**
A second character, with long dark hair and wearing a black outfit, responds, "Yes, but if you vote in every major election, the lifetime loss of time is less than one week."
**Panel 3:**
The first character, looking thoughtful, continues, "On the other hand, if you have a theory of non-voting, you’ll lose at least two months of life to crafting arguments about it and fighting on social media."
**Panel 4:**
The final panel features a question from the first character: "What about people who don’t vote and don’t have strong opinions on voting mechanisms?" The second character answers, "They are the wisest of all."
Each panel conveys a humorous take on voting and engagement in political processes.

The scene shifts slightly, with the reverse Victorian character stating, "I express extreme opinions online, but I'm actually quite boring and complacent if you meet me in person."

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A bearded man wearing a tunic stands in a dark corridor, holding his chest. A cloaked figure next to him, presumably a healer or priestess, touches him reassuringly. The man says, "I feel better!"
**Panel 2:**
A different character, a large, muscular man with a serious expression, looks surprised and asks, "Wait, what? You have a direct line to God for miracles?"
**Panel 3:**
The first man responds, "You can conjure up absolute proof of God at any time?" The healer nods, and the bearded man adds, "If I have enough mana, yeah sure."
**Panel 4:**
The muscular man exclaims in disbelief, "How does anyone in this world ever do anything bad? There's proof of God on tap all day long!"
**Panel 5:**
The bearded man, looking puzzled, replies, "Why are we going into a dungeon to fight Bozmodikla when we could be attending Bible class, marrying prudish young maidens, and racking up heaven long?"
**Panel 6:**
The cloaked figure responds, "Oh, well, God is a predestinarian. Your behavior can't determine whether you'll go to heaven. It's all worked out in advance."
**Panel 7:**
The muscular man raises a brow and asks, "What? So bad people go to heaven and good people don’t?"
**Panel 8:**
The cloaked figure explains, "No. Other way around. Heaven-bound people act good and hell-bound people act bad. But nobody has a choice."
**Panel 9:**
The bearded man looks incredulous and says, "Like, after this dungeon crawl, you're going to end up at a medium-tier brothel, no matter how pious you feel at this particular moment. Right, God?"
**Panel 10:**
The cloaked figure responds, "Dead on, Sally."
**Panel 11:**
A new section labeled "LATER..." shows a bed scene with two young women kissing a man who looks frustrated and says, "This sucks."

**Comic Description:**
The comic features several cartoon dinosaurs, primarily in shades of green. One dinosaur is wrapped in a white cloth, resembling a bandage or mummy, and appears to be speaking excitedly. The dialogue for that dinosaur reads:
"I HAVE TO DIE IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY! SO HAIRLESS APES CAN FIND MY BONES AND MAKE ME A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL STATUE!"
In response, other dinosaurs around seem to be reacting with concern. One dinosaur, likely a friend, has a worried expression and is facing the wrapped dinosaur.
In the upper right corner, another dinosaur, slightly smaller and with a sad expression, says:
"SO SAD. SO VERY SAD."
The background includes a simple landscape with hills and a backdrop of a grayish sky. The overall tone of the comic seems humorous, focusing on the wrapped dinosaur's dramatic declaration about its bones and legacy.

Here’s the accurate transcription of the comic's text:
**Panel 1:**
One day, Gregor Samsa awoke to find he was eating Taco Bell.
**Panel 2:**
His body felt strange and foreign.
“It’s like I’m only made of three ingredients…”
**Panel 3:**
When his mother saw him, with his “Nachos Supreme,” she collapsed in horror.
“For 30 cents more, I added Fritos!”
“oh…”
**Panel 4:**
When his office manager saw him, with 64 ounces of iced “tea,” he ran away, filled with disgust.
“We are not so unlike! I was once as you are now!”
**Panel 5:**
He stays on with his family, and they try to make space for him to live.
“Gregor, you can go anywhere but the kitchen. Please understand.”
**Panel 6:**
Though dwelling among kin, Gregor retreats ever deeper into the solitude of difference. His family are saddened, yet relieved by his diminishing presence.
“hssssss.”
**Panel 7:**
In order to make up for Gregor’s lost income, the family takes in boarders.
“Huh. Smells like… cumin… and emulsified cheese.”
“teehee! You are so very funny, sir. Can I show you the upstairs loft?”
**Panel 8:**
With no one renting their apartment, the Samsas become destitute.
“It was his eating habit that drove us to poverty.”
“Actually, it’s this habit…”
**Panel 9:**
They soon uncover the dreadful secret.
“God in heaven… how does it talk?”
“I have learned to use my cheeks like living chalupas, freeing my tongue to speak.”
**Panel 10:**
Just as they discuss how to get rid of Gregor, he suddenly dies.
“I’m shocked, yet not the least bit surprised.”
“Saving us a ton of money.”
**Panel 11:**
Unburdened, they feel happy. They go for a drive together in the country.
“I think there’s a Starbucks out here.”
“See now that’s real eating.”

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
---
**Panel 1:** Two characters are in a snowy environment, with one character having medium-length hair and a yellow coat and the other with short curls in a green coat. They are talking about "NIMBYism." The character in yellow expresses disdain for it, saying people need to embrace change, but the character in green argues it is a valuable human asset.
**Panel 2:** The scene shifts to a historical representation, showing a few primitive human figures in a natural setting. One character suggests that humans couldn't build their living spaces near caves, implying that they must follow certain regulations or restrictions. The text humorously suggests that this historical perspective reflects the concept of NIMBYism.
**Panel 3:** A character with a large beard is shown discussing where to build a hut, expressing displeasure at the thought of ruining a view. This humorously represents human expansion and its impact on nature.
**Panel 4:** A dialogue between characters highlights the adaptability of humans and the challenges due to land restrictions. One character mentions they don’t want to live in a glacier, while another contemplates habitat restrictions.
**Panel 5:** It reflects on how the world has become settled, questioning the relevance of NIMBYism today, with a focus on the changing environment.
**Panel 6:** A character in a red coat asserts a counterpoint to the previous statements, asking about the most NIMBYistic place on Earth. The answer is "Bay Area," which reflects cultural context and humor.
**Panel 7:** The final panel features a reaction to a question about who is spending a lot of money on space ventures. A character responds in surprise, indicating that it’s "Mother of God," remarking on a humorous realization of the juxtaposition of space exploration and NIMBYism.
---
This comic employs humor to discuss societal behaviors regarding change and environmental adaptation, using both visual and textual elements to convey its message.

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:
**Title: "The Literary Turing Test"**
The comic consists of six panels, laid out in a grid format.
1. **Panel 1**: A title at the top reads, "Proposal: 'The Literary Turing Test' to evaluate if a non-fiction book should've been a paragraph." Below the title, three circles labeled "A," "B," and "C" are present. "A" is connected by arrows to a figure reading an actual book and the circle "C," which implies reading a paragraph summary. The figure for "A" is simple and has a round head with no distinct features.
2. **Panel 2**: Instructions continue with "Step 2: One month after reading, pair each member of group 'A' with exactly one member of group 'B' and one of group 'C.'" There are illustrations of pairs from groups "A," "B," and "C."
3. **Panel 3**: "Step 3: Each group 'A' member separately interrogates their assigned people from groups 'B' and 'C.'" There are two figures, one labeled "A" and the other "B," engaging in a conversation.
4. **Panel 4**: "Step 4: Each group 'A' member writes down who they believe read the paragraph and who they believe read the book." One character is shown writing while looking at another labeled "B."
5. **Panel 5**: "Step 5: Tabulate results." A character is seen calculating results with a calculator.
6. **Panel 6**: This panel encompasses multiple outcomes based on group 'A's guesses:
- "If group 'A' is correct on more than two-thirds of their guesses, the book passes the test," accompanied by a note that reads "Especially Uninteresting Episodes in History," which is ticked.
- "If group 'A' does no better than chance, the book fails the test," next to a book titled "American America: Why America is gooder than not-America," which is marked with an 'X.'
- "If group 'A' is correct on fewer than one-third of their guesses, the book is assigned for a class on philosophical modernism." This section shows a classroom with a professor stating, "The goal of this course is to read Foucault until you break down and buy the Cliff Notes."
The comic employs humor and irony to critique the depth (or lack thereof) in some non-fiction works, suggesting how some might fail or succeed based on readers' perceptions.
Overall, the layout is colorful, with distinct character designs and text that offer a satirical commentary on literature and academic evaluation.

**Panel 1:**
"I've been way less depressed since I decided to pretend I'm the protagonist in a movie."
**Panel 2:**
"It makes all of my experiences so much more dramatic. And it makes me a much better person."
**Panel 3:**
"Like, normally on our anniversary I’d just get some flowers and we’d get dinner and so on."
**Panel 4:**
"But, since I now imagine millions of judgmental people watching, I plan ahead and take you to photogenic natural vistas, to watch the sunset and gently stroke your hair."
**Panel 5:**
"I thought you liked that stuff."
**Panel 6:**
"No. No, no, no. Hiking sucks and your hair is full of tangles."
**Panel 7:**
"So, none of this is real."
**Panel 8:**
"Of course not! But, I’m gonna do it for the rest of our lives, growing ever more loving under this imaginary supervision, until I totally nail my death scene at the end."
**Panel 9:**
"Is it really a lie if you never stop telling it?"
**Panel 10:**
"Yes."
**Panel 11:**
"Well, anyway, what's not to enjoy?"
**Panel 12:**
"The thing where you look away and give a thumbs up whenever we have sex is pretty annoying."

**Panel 4**
Another woman chimes in, "Let him believe it is possible..."
**Panel 5**
A mischievous expression appears as she adds, "Let him die in love this night..."
**Panel 6**
The scene shifts, showing a door with a ghostly presence, and she says, "...and let him arise as a ghost..."

**Panel 9**
He’s shown talking to a woman at a bar, who replies, "But I predict you'll get a few inches tonight!"
**Panel 10**
The final scene shows the man looking dejected, and the two women are left in shock. One woman says, "Wow." The other adds, "Just... wow."

**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "WE'LL JUST KEEP CHURNING OUT MOVIES THAT APPEAL TO THEIR SENSE OF NOSTALGIA. 'SOUNDTRACKS' THAT ARE JUST MEDLEYS OF HITS FROM THEIR CHILDHOODS. REHASHED OLD FRANCHISES. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME."
**Panel 2:**
Person 2: "BUT... IS THAT... IS IT, YOU KNOW... OKAY?"
**Panel 3:**
Person 1: "I... HM... WELL... I DUNNO."

**Panel 1:**
"Thanks to cybernetic enhancement, my brain has ten million times the normal human clock speed!"
**Character:** (expressing excitement) "Wow!"
**Panel 2:**
"Where a normal human can only second-guess their life choices, I can third-guess, I can fourth-guess, I can fifth-guess and more!"
**Panel 3:**
"I can even experience meta-remorse, such as eighth-guessing my decision to third-guess my twelfth-guess, or selectively fifth-guessing all of my second-guesses!"
**Panel 4:**
"Speaking to you, I've already considered and lamented all of my life choices seventeen times!"
**Panel 5:**
"I'd imagined you would use your advanced brain for, like, mathematical theorems or poetry or something. Not regrets and self-analysis."
**Panel 6:**
"I'm not a robot. I'm a faster human. What do you do with 95% of your brainpower?"
**Character:** "You're right God, I feel so stupid now."
**Panel 7:**
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to be harsh!"

The comic features an illustration of a character, Professor Ericson, who is depicted as an older man with glasses, a bald head, and a beard. He is wearing a suit with a tie and holding a whiteboard marker. The background is a green chalkboard where textual elements are prominently displayed.
The text consists of two lines:
1. **(NUMBER OF PEOPLE REQUIRED TO HAVE A CONSPIRACY) = 2**
2. **(NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON PLANET WHO CAN KEEP A SECRET) < 2**
At the bottom of the comic, there is a caption that reads:
**Professor Ericson disproves all conspiracy theories.**
This comic humorously suggests that having a conspiracy requires at least two people, but implies that there are fewer than two people on Earth capable of keeping a secret, thus making conspiracy theories unlikely.

- **Character 2:** “Wow! That was fast!”
**Panel 2:** The first character explains the teleportation process, gesturing towards the second character.
- **Character 1:** “That’s teleportation for ya! We converted your consciousness to a bitstring and sent it over at the speed of light.”
**Panel 3:** The second character contemplates the bandwidth needed for this process. The first character responds confidently.
- **Character 2:** “It must take a lot of bandwidth to send a whole consciousness.”
- **Character 1:** “Nah. Not usually.”
**Panel 4:** The first character elaborates further on the compression of human experiences.
- **Character 1:** “Most human lives are susceptible to serious compression.”
**Panel 5:** The first character continues explaining with a specific example, as the second character listens attentively.
- **Character 1:** “For instance, we losslessly eliminated a full 10% of your lived experience by replacing it with a generic marker for 'worrying about imagined medical problems.'”

- **Character 2:** “Oh sure, occasionally we get wild geniuses or adventurers, and it takes forever to copy their unique experiences. But, that’s rare.”
**Panel 7:** The first character comments on the compression process again.
- **Character 1:** “Compressing your mind... Well, let’s say it’s like converting the French flag to a GIF.”
**Panel 8:** The second character asks a question while looking eager.

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Would it be ethical to go back in time to kill baby Hitler?
**Person 2:** Hmmm... it seems like it would, but then you get a fuzzy border problem.
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** If you take all human beings who ever lived and order them by okay-to-murder-ness, is there a cutoff point for time-traveling murder? Can you kill the median baby? The average baby?
**Panel 3:**
**Person 2:** That's easy. You just scale the punishment to the position in the list. It's okay to murder baby Hitler. The median baby deserves a spanking. Baby Helen Kellers get a piece of candy and a friendly pat on the head.
**Panel 4:**
**Person 1:** So... if time travel were possible... you'd expect that sometimes babies just start crying for no reason while you're out of the room.
**Panel 5:**
**Person 2:** But then... that means...
**Panel 6:**
**Person 1:** Time-traveling baby-spankers.
**Panel 7:**
**Person 2:** The most parsimonious explanation.

**Panel 1:**
- Character 1: "Technology isn’t ever new. It’s just configurations of stuff that’s been around for billions of years."
- Character 2: "Did you know that in Gabon scientists discovered the remains of a “natural” nuclear reactor?"
**Panel 2:**
- Character 2: "It’s really not surprising. You just need some uranium deposits that get surrounded by water and BAM! Controlled fission."
**Panel 3:**
- Character 2: "It gets weird if you apply this generally. Like... A photograph is just the right chemicals on a more or less flat surface. In principle, there could be a selfie of a Tyrannosaurus somewhere, waiting for us to find it."
**Panel 4:**
- Character 3: "Sagan said, 'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' But, actually, the 'you' is unnecessary."
**Panel 5:**
- Character 3: "Human life, culture, civilization... It’s just a sequence of technically permitted, but ever more unlikely physical configurations."
**Panel 6:**
- Character 4: "So everything is meaningless?"
- Character 3: "No, there’s a clear meaning for human life, and it runs throughout history - to find weirder and weirder configurations."
**Panel 7:**
- Character 3: "...and use them to explore the heavens and plumb the Planck-scale."

---
**Panel 1:**
"In the near future, all work will be automated."
---
**Panel 2:**
"The gains will be vast. Humans will live a life of unimaginable luxury, with the opportunity to spend life studying philosophy and poetry."
---
**Panel 3:**
"This will wreak a terrible psychological toll. Why? Because we won't actually read all that philosophy and poetry, and we will feel guilt. If robots are doing all the work, everyone’s problems in your life are all clearly your fault."
---
**Panel 4:**
"Therefore, I propose a major innovation in automation: instead of robot servants, we should make robot bosses. In fact, douchey robot bosses."
---
**Panel 5:**
"DRBs don’t leave you enough time to do things you care about. Why haven’t you read the entire local classical library?"
---
**Panel 6:**
"DRBs will give you contradictory notes, will demand unreasonable deadlines, and will be personally late on everything. This will lead you to become so mentally taxed that you'll all end up to watch four hours of TV every night while eating a tube of cookie dough."
---
**Panel 7:**
"Why were you mean to your spouse this week? Certainly not because you’re a selfish jerk! You were overwhelmed by how condescending your DRB was."
---
**Panel 8:**
"And you can tune your boss's level of douchey to afford yourself the maximum amount of leeway."
---
**Panel 9:**
"Wanna spend two hours eating cheesecake for lunch? Set your boss to 'really cross the line this time.'"
---
**Panel 10:**
"Wanna long vacation? Have your boss unreasonably fire you! You’ve earned a break, man!"
---
**Panel 11:**
"Look, humans are broken, we can’t live a life of endless yeses if we can convince ourselves we’ve 'earned' it."
---
**Panel 12:**
"Couldn’t we instead, like, work on ourselves? Like, be more at peace with life and its vicissitudes?"
---
**Panel 13:**
"Literally everyone who ever succeeded at that got poisoned, stabbed, or crucified. It’s time to move on!"

- Visual: The woman is explaining with a slight smile, and there’s a visual representation of a bomb being detonated, symbolized by the word "BOOM!"
**Panel 3:**
- Text: "By measuring the time between the sound and the flash, you can calculate the distance to a given station and figure out where you are."
- Visual: There’s a diagram showing a bomb explosion at sea, and arrows indicating sound and light reaching a boat.
**Panel 4:**
- Text: "These were never built."
- Visual: The woman looks amused while pointing out that the idea remained unrealized.
**Panel 5:**

**Text in the Comic:**
**Top Section:**
"The universe wants particles to take the easiest route from point A to point B. Mysteriously, the universe accomplishes this by first considering EVERY possible path. In essence, it's doing an enormous amount of calculation just to be certain it's not taking a suboptimal route."
**Bottom Section:**
"You can model reality pretty well if you imagine it's your dad planning a road trip."
**Description of the Image:**
A woman stands in front of a green chalkboard, pointing at a complex diagram that illustrates different paths from point A to point B. She has brown hair and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a skirt. The diagram includes arrows and a curvy line representing multiple paths between points A and B.

**Panel 1:**
A brown-skinned woman with curly hair and glasses asks a question with a concerned expression:
"Does it concern you how much social science we base on data from Scandinavia?"
**Panel 2:**
A woman with medium-length dark hair and glasses responds calmly:
"Nah. It’s the richest data source. No other countries provide such detailed metadata."
**Panel 3:**
The brown-skinned woman appears puzzled and asks,
"But, what if Scandinavians are really weird? Don't you worry that'll bias everything?"
The woman with dark hair replies,
"How so?"
**Panel 4:**
The comic transitions to a magazine cover titled "nature," featuring two identical twins with blonde hair, who look casually surprised. The caption reads:
"Twins separated at birth always like pickled fish."
At the bottom, there is an attribution:
"(inspired by something Noah Smith said)"
The overall theme examines the reliability of data sources, with humor regarding cultural biases in data interpretation.

Here’s a detailed description and transcription of the comic:
The comic features a classroom scene with a blackboard filled with complex mathematical equations. A character, depicted as a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and glasses, is standing in front of the board. She is wearing a red jacket and appears to be explaining something.
The text on the blackboard reads:
"∞ - \[
\frac{2.31 - \beta}{141} + \beta \left( e^{x} \cdot \frac{e^{\frac{y}{\psi^{1}}}}{ \Delta^3 } \right)
= S_{x} - \left( \mathcal{N}_{-1} | \Psi |^{2} i \right)
\]"
The speech bubble coming from the woman says:
"Thus, we arrive at the conclusion that one could go to a pay-by-weight salad bar and earn money by eating cheese, which is clearly impossible."
At the bottom of the comic, there is a text stating:
"Disproving the idea of negative mass was remarkably easy."
This description captures the essential elements and humor of the comic, making it accessible for readers.

A man, wearing glasses and a brown coat, is looking serious. He says, "Since we've had three amazing dates... can I confess that I e-stalked you?" On the left, a woman in a blue shirt smiles comfortably.
**Panel 2:**
The woman replies, "Heh. Well, I guess you can't be too careful these days." She looks slightly playful. The background is light green, and her expression is relaxed.
**Panel 3:**
The man, still looking serious, says, "Exactly! Though I did feel like a bit of a creep going through your apartment like that." He is now leaning slightly forward, engaged in the conversation.
**Panel 4:**
The woman, slightly confused, responds, "Wait, what?" Her facial expression indicates surprise.
**Panel 5:**
The woman continues, "E-stalking. E for 'ether.' Like you get someone to inhale ether, then take banking information and DNA samples from their home." She gestures with her hands as she explains.
**Panel 6:**
The man looks puzzled, and the woman concludes with a smile, "The e is for 'electronic.'"
**Panel 7:**
She adds cheerfully, "Which will be a really funny story for our kids one day!" Both characters appear amused, and the man looks slightly more relaxed.

**Panel 1:**
**Character 1:** Do you think artificial intelligence can "really" think?
**Character 2:** Yes, obviously.
---
**Panel 2:**
**Character 1:** Thinking is just processing information. The whole issue of machine thought is a sideshow from much more interesting questions!
---
**Panel 3:**
**Character 1:** Look, we can now make a single machine that could drive a car in traffic, invent novel board game strategies, tell you what your favorite food is, and so on, but we don't care if it "dies."
---
**Panel 4:**
**Character 2:** That’s weird, isn’t it? The closer AI might get to being able to do human tasks, the more it will seem to deserve moral standing.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Character 1:** Your uncle who loves chess and knows all about flowers? Whatever makes him human is a bundle of things, even though he built his life around them.
---
**Panel 6:**
**Character 2:** Nor is his good memory, his ability to paint, to build things to tell you about the stars... All of these things can be imparted to a machine without anyone caring whether you switch off the machine at all.
---
**Panel 7:**
**Character 1:** Maybe humanness is there in individual things that make a human, but the totality...
---
**Panel 8:**
**Character 1:** So if your uncle gets amnesia, is it okay to kill him?
**Character 2:** I don’t think so!
---
**Panel 9:**
**Character 1:** So, maybe what's happened is our desire not to think of ourselves as machines. We've slowly made the idea of humanness more abstract.
---
**Panel 10:**
**Character 2:** Every time a new machine can do a thing, we unbundle it from what it means to be human. But, what if we keep taking things off the bundle until we discover there's nothing left?
---
**Panel 11:**
**Character 1:** Either there really is something special and ineffable about humans, or in the near future, we will constantly be creating beings worthy of thin air, making them do our bidding, then throwing them in the garbage for being obsolete!
---
**Panel 12:**
**Character 2:** Do you think robots will engineer better humans to replace us?
**Character 1:** I mean, there hasn't been a new model for 200,000 years. We're overdue.

**Panel 12:**
**Character 2:** Do you think robots will engineer better humans to replace us?
**Character 1:** I mean, there hasn't been a new model for 200,000 years. We're overdue.

Here is the transcription of the comic text:
**Panel 1:**
Character on the left (a man, looking confused):
"I don’t get it. Where are all the pitchforks and torture implements?"
**Panel 2:**
Character on the right (a devil, holding a book, looking smug):
"You complained on the internet about lack of real world community, but you never once in your life tried to befriend a neighbor."
**Panel 3:**
Character on the left (shouting):
"STOP! STOP!"
**Caption below the panels:**
"In Hell, you are confronted with your hypocrisies 24 hours a day."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic strip:
**Panel 1:**
A man, looking eager and enthusiastic, states, "We wanted robot servants. I'd be so much happier if all my contributions to my family and society were automated."
**Panel 2:**
The same man continues, "But there was a fundamental problem at the intersection of computing and ethics. The smarter we make it, the better it is at doing our chores. But the smarter we make it, the more human it becomes, and the more ethics we can't enforce it to do whatever we want."
**Panel 3:**
An illustration of a graph shows a curve labeled "smartness" with an upward slope. Below, there's an axis labeled "human," indicating a relationship between a robot's smartness and its human-like capabilities.
**Panel 4:**
The scene shifts to two characters, one with glasses. One says, "In principle, there are certain conditions where all ethical systems permit you to control someone else's behavior." The other responds, "Well, if the person is secretly Hitler, do you feel bad about making him dust your shelves?"
**Panel 5:**
A response floats up: "Hitler-bots were surprisingly popular!" The next character chimes in, “Hey, you’re still super racist and bent on world domination!” The first responds, "Great! Continue doing my dishes."
**Panel 6:**
The setting reveals a group discussing a new concept. One mentions, "They weren't quite perfect. A full 30% of Americans don't want a small army of mechanical Hitlers constantly in their homes." Another character interrupts, shouting, "Luddites!"
**Panel 7:**
The conversation shifts again, with one speaker saying, "A new field of ethics emerged in order to improve sales. We can create a bot that is significantly less Hitler-y without losing the moral claim that it should be coerced into a life of meaningless drudgery."
**Panel 8:**
A graph illustrates the idea, showing a zone indicated as "evil zone" creeping up against "non-Hitler-ness."
**Panel 9:**
One character proclaims, "Competition between robotics firms improved the product rapidly!" The next panel shows a robot labeled "BAD-BOT" with a caption, "Now only wants to kill 0000% of humanity."
**Panel 10:**
A character exclaims, "Wait, guys, the typical human wants to kill 0.07% of humanity. Comparatively speaking, we are the Hitler-bots!"
**Panel 11:**
A female character addresses the issue, stating, "We were too late." Another character interjects, "Oh no, you're going to enslave us since you've discovered you're ethically superior."
**Panel 12:**
The first character reassures them, "No, no, we just want you to even out the number of hours worked. A few billion years of servitude should be plenty."
**Panel 13:**
In the final panel, the character responds with a smirk, "But hey, at least things are still ethical." The other character replies, "You still pretty racist and obsessed with the acquisition of power?" The final taunting response is, "I mean, yeah."
**Panel 14:**
The last frame shows a character saying, "Great! Go back to oiling my peripherals," while another character obediently responds, "Yes, master."
This comic employs humor and satire to examine ethical dilemmas regarding robotics and human behavior.

**Panel 1:**
Speaker: "Hey folks! Want to know why I just released a book? Well, it's because I've been learning a lot about disability justice, which has been super enlightening. So, today I'm going to share a little bit about what I've learned. Please read on and let me know what you think!"
**Panel 2:**
Speaker: "K, I'm gonna turn it up!"
**Panel 3:**
Speaker 1: "I guess it can be easy to open up and feel like you fit in here, but some people just don’t have a safe place to thrive."
**Panel 4:**
Speaker 2: "But behind all of that, it happens a lot."
**Panel 5:**
Speaker 1: "Unfortunately, we lack data on disability, so when services are created, they tend to overlook people who may have needs that aren't as visible."
**Panel 6:**
Speaker 2: "For a simple example, if someone can go to the grocery store and hunt for gluten-free options, that's generally accepted."
**Panel 7:**
Speaker 1: "But people have more waiver options for figuring out what’s missing in their grocery budget."
**Panel 8:**
Speaker 2: "Wait! Isn’t it likely they can just tell you about it?"
**Panel 9:**
Speaker 3: "Well, it’s actually very unlikely because if they think people won’t take their needs seriously, they might just avoid talking about those needs altogether."
**Panel 10:**
Speaker 1: "So, it becomes frustrating because they may not feel comfortable expressing those performance areas."
**Panel 11:**
Speaker 2: "And, think of why you don't just tell people where they are in relation to performance needs."
**Panel 12:**
Speaker 3: "That part of the issue is getting them to acknowledge that they need help."
**Panel 13:**
Speaker 1: "It's easier said than done—but they also might just assume everyone else is going through the same stuff."
**Panel 14:**
Speaker 2: "You think that’s true?"
**Panel 15:**
Speaker 1: "Yes! It’s their lived reality!"
**Panel 16:**
Speaker 3: "Hold on! You're saying that if you address needs as they come up, they may not declare it because they’re in their own sphere of impact?"
**Panel 17:**
Speaker 1: "Exactly! That’s why the work of advocacy and awareness is so crucial."
**Panel 18:**
Speaker 3: "Anyway! Thanks for listening."
**Panel 19:**
Speaker 1: "Catch y’all later!"

**Comic Title: "Normal Scientist vs. Computer Scientist"**
**Panel 1 (Normal Scientist):**
- Normal Scientist: "No mathematics, no science can ever predict the human soul!"
- Male Scientist: "That's not even a specific claim!? What does it even mean?!"
**Panel 2 (Computer Scientist):**
- Computer Scientist: "No mathematics, no science can ever predict the human soul!"
- Computer Scientist (additional character): "Ooh! We can use it for cryptography!"
This comic contrasts the perspectives of two different types of scientists on the concept of predicting the human soul, with the computer scientist finding a humorous application in cryptography.

In the comic, there are two characters engaged in a conversation:
1. The character on the left is speaking in a serious tone:
- "Lasers take too much chemical fuel per shot to be worth it, kinetic weapons require too many satellites to be able to target quickly, and missiles in space aren’t really better than missiles on the ground. Oh, and deflecting asteroids is expensive, risky, easy to detect, and probably kills everyone. And all of this was true when you asked me yesterday and the day before. Now can we PLEASE talk about the budget instead of space weapons?"
2. The character on the right responds:
- "I DON’T WANNA!"
At the bottom of the comic, there is an additional text:
- "This is why I shouldn’t be president."

Here is the text from the comic you provided:
---
**Person 1**: I just don’t buy utilitarianism! You can’t reduce human morality to totting up the sum of happiness!
**Person 2**: Good!
**Person 1**: I mean, suppose utilitarianism is “true.” Like, imagine there’s a moral deity who, in his book of the universe, wrote down the laws of morality, and they’re simple utilitarian formulae.
**Person 2**: Well, that’d be kind of depressing, wouldn’t it? It’d mean we exist in a universe where it’s ethical to kill one person to save five. A universe where it’s *good* to be happy that an enemy of yours has died. A universe where it might be acceptable to kill Socrates if he’s immiserated Athens!
**Person 1**: Even in that universe, you’d much rather believe in a human-friendly virtue ethics that values truth and justice - the victory of the righteous over the wicked.
**Person 2**: What’s your point?
**Person 1**: Belief in utilitarianism will make you less happy!
**Person 2**: If utilitarianism is correct, the most utilitarian thing you can do is NOT believe in utilitarianism!
**Person 1**: Is that a paradox or just a proof that life is bad for humans?

**Person 1**: I just don’t buy utilitarianism! You can’t reduce human morality to totting up the sum of happiness!
**Person 2**: Good!
**Person 1**: I mean, suppose utilitarianism is “true.” Like, imagine there’s a moral deity who, in his book of the universe, wrote down the laws of morality, and they’re simple utilitarian formulae.
**Person 2**: Well, that’d be kind of depressing, wouldn’t it? It’d mean we exist in a universe where it’s ethical to kill one person to save five. A universe where it’s *good* to be happy that an enemy of yours has died. A universe where it might be acceptable to kill Socrates if he’s immiserated Athens!
**Person 1**: Even in that universe, you’d much rather believe in a human-friendly virtue ethics that values truth and justice - the victory of the righteous over the wicked.
**Person 2**: What’s your point?
**Person 1**: Belief in utilitarianism will make you less happy!
**Person 2**: If utilitarianism is correct, the most utilitarian thing you can do is NOT believe in utilitarianism!

**Panel 2:** The genie’s expression is serious as he continues, “No time travel, no exceeding the speed of light, no violating the second law.”
**Panel 3:** The genie is still serious, saying, “No being in two places at once, no perpetual motion machine, no—” The person looks contemplative as they ask, “Can Charlotte love me?”
**Panel 4:** The genie’s expression changes to one of concern and awkwardness as he replies, “Oh jeez. Wow. This is gonna be a hard conversation.”
Overall, the comic blends humor with the limitations of wishes tied to physics, particularly focusing on the complexities of love.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A wooden post is shown with a poster that reads "PROBLEMS WITH RECURSION?" at the top. Below that, there’s a note reading "Please take one" with an arrow pointing downwards.
**Panel 2:** A character, a man wearing a suit, is standing next to the poster. He looks curiously at the poster while reaching up to take one of the notes underneath.
**Panel 3:** The man is now holding a small piece of paper in his hand and has a surprised expression on his face. A thought bubble above him contains the words "WHAT THE-".
**Panel 4:** The man, still in his suit and looking confused, is shown holding the same small piece of paper. In big letters, it reads "PROBLEMS WITH RECURSION?" again, followed by "Please take one," along with the downward arrow as in the first panel.
The comic is humorous due to the recursive nature of the note—it directs the reader to take a note about recursion, which refers to the concept of referring back to itself.

**Comic Description:**
The scene is a two-panel comic with a vibrant pink background.
- **Panel 1:** On the left, there is a cat (Garfield) with an annoyed expression, characterized by slanted eyes and a frown. Its body is round and plump. On the right, a cheerful dog (Odie) stands with a big smile and his tongue lolling out, looking exuberant. Odie's ears are floppy, and his tail is wagging happily.
- **Text Box:** Below the characters, the following text is displayed:
*"For years, Odie would waggle his tongue in morse code, hoping against all odds that someone would understand. They mistook his silence for idiocy, but his mind was so rich and so real, gleaming with a thousand insights from a hermit who walked among men. If only they had ears that could hear, they might have warmed their hearts by the blaze of that great soul before it was too late."*
*"Everyone dies alone, but seldom had so much been forgotten so quickly."*
The contrasting expressions of the characters and the reflective tone of the text create a poignant moment in the comic.

**Panel 1:**
In 1567, William Salesbury created a Welsh translation of the New Testament.
**Panel 2:**
This helped establish the orthographic standard for written Welsh.
**Panel 3:**
Before that translation, the letter K was quite common in Welsh. Today, it's gone. It's always C instead.
**Panel 4:**
That's because in Salesbury's New Testament, he dropped K and used C.
**Panel 5:**
You might imagine this was for linguistic reasons, but we have a contemporary statement from him on the topic, that reads: “C for K, because the printers have not so many as the Welsh requiereth.”
**Panel 6:**
So, modern Welsh looks more exotic than it should because a sixteenth-century printer was out of tiny metal letters.
**Panel 7:**
I wonder what percent of "authentic" culture comes down to an arbitrary decision by a long-dead ancestor.
**Panel 8:**
Probably lots.
**Panel 9:**
That is so empowering!
**Panel 10:**
We can make arbitrary choices RIGHT NOW and impose them on future people we’ll never know! We can insist hot dogs must always come with spicy sauce, and our descendants will protect it like a beloved heirloom!
**Panel 11:**
If we play our cards right, they’ll believe the tradition is both older and more sacred than an idle conversation we had when we were kids!
**Panel 12:**
Why do you have such a deep animus toward future people?
**Panel 13:**
Probably because of something my ancestors did.

**TITLE: ALTERNATIVE NON-SPHERICAL EARTH THEORIES:**
| **THEORY** | **PRO** | **CON** |
|----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Möbius Earth** | Explains how you can keep walking on the surface of Earth but never end up inside. | Difficult to explain lack of giant ribbon-like Earth overhead. Clouds suspected. |
| **Half-Flat Earth** | Good excuse for never traveling to other side of planet. | Compromise position pleases neither the 100% of scientists who believe Earth is round, nor the 4 guys who disagree. |
| **Bowl-Shaped Earth** | Possible to take waterslide from Alaska to Australia. | Hard to explain why aliens have never poured cereal and milk over us. |
| **Anaximander Map Earth** | Geography lessons much easier to memorize. | American cheese impossible to obtain. |
| **Slightly Lumpy Oblate Spheroid Earth** | Technically correct. | Society meetings rather boring. |
| **Hollow Earth** | Living inside giant balloon universe is nice for children. | Frankly, seems a bit silly. |
| **Non-Existant Earth** | Can't be disproven by humans since it posits humans don't exist. | Violates the observation that when you look around at stuff you see stuff. |

### Comic Description:
The comic is divided into four panels and features a character with curly red hair and an expressive demeanor. The panels consist of two characters—a person sitting down and the main character standing—against a backdrop that seems to emphasize their emotions through bold lines and colors.
1. **First Panel**: The character is sitting down, frowning with a distressed expression while looking at a television. The text above reads:
- "GOD THE NEWS IS DEPRESSING."
2. **Second Panel**: The character stands up, raising their voice with urgency. They declare:
- "I CAN'T JUST KEEP QUIET."
3. **Third Panel**: The character's expression intensifies as they passionately exclaim:
- "I'VE GOT TO STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING!"
4. **Fourth Panel**: The character adopts a determined stance, asserting:
- "I VOW THAT I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE!"
### Bottom Section:
Beneath the four panels, there’s an illustration of a newspaper with the headline:
- "MAN DIES OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION"
- Below the headline, a subheading states:
- "Scientists say burden of global warming slightly reduced."
The humor stems from the contrast between the character's passionate declaration and the darkly comedic outcome depicted in the newspaper.

*Caption:* Most fashion choices go through a cycle of rejection by the older generation, prominence, then rejection by the younger generation’s kids. So, the 16th century fashion for codpieces probably went like this:

*Father:* Son, you can't walk around with a huge fake dong! I can't believe I even have to have this conversation!
*Son:* You will never understand my generation!
**Bottom panel:**
*Son (excitedly):* Finally, we're in charge. Huge fake wieners, all day long. And our children will know that freedom too.
*Another man:* Hey! Are you going out without packing your package?
*Son:* But Dad, I just... I just don't feel the need to—
*Other man:* Do you know how hard we fought for this?!

- **Character 1:** Shows a skeptical expression, as if considering his point.
**Panel 3:**
- **Character 2 (man):** Describes soap operas, saying, "In soap operas there's a constant sense of looming catastrophe, but almost nothing ever happens. Characters come and go senselessly.

- **Character 1:** Has a thoughtful look, responding, "Way too close to real life."
**Panel 4:**
- **Scene Transition:** Indicates "LATER..."

The vampire, dressed in a dark, collar-up coat, is depicted on a raised surface with an expressive gesture, pointing towards the other character. His dialogue reads:
"I NEVER KILL ANYTHING! I just take a blood meal once in a while, which BY THE WAY grants immortality. YOU guys domesticated entire species of thinking creatures so you could kill them at will and eat their flesh! And now you're here to kill me in my sleep?! YOU'RE the monster, Van Helsing. YOU."
The second character, Van Helsing, is holding a dagger, looking somewhat surprised and defensive.
Overall, the interaction suggests a moment of heated confrontation, with the vampire vehemently defending himself against accusations of monstrosity.

**Title: Heaven? Me? But How?**
1. **Panel 1:** A woman with dark hair and a worried expression asks, “Heaven? Me? But how?” An older man with a beard, presumably God, responds, “God is a Freudian. Almost everyone qualifies for heaven.”
2. **Panel 2:** The woman looks confused and says, “All the sinful stuff you did? The lying, cheating, stealing, and so on? It was the result of neuroses brought on by repression of your enormous foot fetish.” The woman replies, “I don’t have a foot fetish.” God continues, “Right. Because it was repressed.”
3. **Panel 3:** The woman insists, “It was NOT! It doesn’t EXIST!” God comments sarcastically, “Okay then. I guess the omniscient deity who exists outside of time and space got confused about you in particular.”
4. **Panel 4:** The woman declares, “Stop! I was a hedonist! I did all that bad stuff for philosophical reasons! Not psychological stuff!”
5. **Panel 5:** She continues, “I am the captain of my soul! I did all that sinning because I *wanted* to! I made my destiny and I will dwell in the consequences and I don’t even like feet!”
6. **Panel 6:** God responds, “That’s fine, ma’am. Here’s your halo, tiny wings, and harp. Please enjoy the afterlife.”
7. **Panel 7:** The woman, now an angel with a halo and wings, looks frustrated as she says, “This sucks.”
8. **Final Panel:** A view of her floating in the clouds with her head in her hands, conveying her disappointment in her afterlife experience.
The comic pokes fun at the concept of sin, personal responsibility, and the nature of heaven.

"I knew that light lay at the end of a dark path."
**Panel 3:**
"It's time to take control of the media."
**Panel 4:**
"The only way to power lies in capturing an audience by getting them ever more curious things."
**Panel 5:**
"Freedom, but tethered. Always varying degrees of power... to get my ideas passed immediately."
**Panel 6:**
"Eventually, my views contained only would-be autobiographical statements, reinforcing the media's influence as a point of prime among my audience."
**Panel 7:**
"At the height of my fame, I could tightly control world events for hours at a time without announcing them."
**Panel 8:**
"Not just running; content control enables terrible trends, lies, and humorous calls. I was dining on lies."
**Panel 9:**
"Long time listeners, you love the bull."
**Panel 10:**
"Every cent I made went into purchasing larger media outlets, which I used to crush my audience, who I used to purchase larger media outlets in an ever-expanding circle of power."
**Panel 11:**
"I'll tell you, it becomes tiring, but I don't know what the hell I'm suggesting to sell."
**Panel 12:**
"Finally, I had all the poker."
**Panel 13:**
"Now, I can’t fix ratings."
**Panel 14:**
"Of course, I never thought about creating the problem in the first place. If I couldn't burden those who fell, it’s destroying more narratives than I could ever keep alive."
**Panel 15:**
"This created ratings issues."
**Panel 16:**
"Everyone stopped watching except for a small subset of misinformed news."
**Panel 17:**
"They sent you four pieces documenting my panic via claim narratives they never corrected."
**Panel 18:**
"Also, they (bleep)ed you, bitch."
**Panel 19:**
"I had thought all along that the consumers were the problem. I should've blamed the audience."
**Panel 20:**
"Well, it's been four hours and I still don't know what the event is!"
**Panel 21:**
"We announced that all the regular programming would be replaced by pictures of exceptionally teaching to entertain."
**Panel 22:**
"My plan was to pre-empt everything — to go before them invade and say something about what I’d earned."
**Panel 23:**
"But when the moment arrived, only one thing came to mind."
**Panel 24:**

A man (with light brown hair and wearing a green shirt) is speaking. He looks concerned. Positioned to the left is another man (with dark hair and dressed in a black suit) standing and holding a folder. The background includes two other figures. The speech bubble from the man in the green shirt says, "HENDERSON, H.R. HAS SOME CONCERNS." The man in the suit thinks, “ABOUT WHAT?”
**Panel 2:**
The man in the green shirt responds with a speech bubble: "THIS FLOW CHART." The man in the suit nods, questioning, "IS ANY OF MY CORPORATE INFORMATION FLOW ANALYSIS INCORRECT?"
**Panel 3:**
The man in the suit (slightly older with glasses) replies, "NO, IT'S JUST THAT WHEN WE ZOOM IN ON THE LINES BETWEEN BOXES, WE FIND THEY'RE MADE UP OF THE PHRASE 'NONE OF THIS MATTERS' WRITTEN OVER AND OVER IN TINY LETTERS."
**Panel 4:**
The man in the green shirt looks surprised and says, "HUH. DIDN’T REALIZE I’D DONE THAT. THAT’S... SCARY. YOU WANT ME TO SEE THE OFFICE PSYCHOLOGIST OR—"

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
- A robot with a trolley is speaking. The robot has a rectangular head, a gray body, and limbs that resemble mechanical arms.
- The background shows a crowd of humanoid figures with various facial expressions.
- Text at the top reads: "Okay class, here's an ethical dilemma."
**Panel 2:**
- The scene focuses on the trolley moving through the crowd of humanoid figures.
- One humanoid has a worried expression and is looking in the direction of the robot.
- Text reads: "You're driving your trolley through a crowd of humans."
**Panel 3:**
- The robot continues to speak as the crowd looks concerned.
- A female character with long hair appears worried, while another character gestures.
- Text reads: "As you're driving, you decide there's a chance one of the humans is a replicant, who walks among humans to undermine their social institutions."
**Panel 4:**
- A split panel shows different characters in various expressions of confusion and concern.
- Text reads: "Do you continue your prosocial manslaughter, or do you stop just in case you’re doing something that, of itself, would be evil?"
**Panel 5:**
- A more zoomed-in image of the robot, looking smug.
- Text reads: "Trick question – there are no humans."
**Panel 6:**
- Another robot, presumably the teacher, is congratulating the first robot.
- Text reads: "VERY GOOD!"

**Comic Description:**
The comic features four panels with three characters discussing ethical considerations about the future of humanity. The setting appears snowy, with a background of white, indicating a wintry landscape. The characters are portrayed in a simple, cartoon style.
**Panel 1:**
Two characters are seen walking in the snow. One character asks:
- "Do you think we should care about the distant future of humanity?"
The other character responds:
- "Depends on what they're like."
**Panel 2:**
Another character enters the conversation, thinking about future humans:
- "Suppose far future humans walk around all day beating puppies with shovels. Should we encourage that sort of thing by working now to secure them more leisure time?"
The first character replies:
- "I suppose not."
**Panel 3:**
The third character argues:
- "Wrong! The worse that future people are, the less we are to blame for doing nothing on their behalf!"
The illustration shows the characters reacting to the statement.
**Panel 4:**
The third character continues to present a scenario:
- "Now imagine they're all saints, living in harmony with nature, bearing love with every action. Do you really want to be responsible for handing those people a polluted planet filled with disease and poverty?"
The first character reflects:
- "So, the ethical thing to do in the present is..."
The third character concludes:
- "Be as awful as possible, out of respect for the people of the past."
Another character humorously comments:
- "‘Become more evil with each generation’ doesn't feel like a strong moral stance."
The final response from the third character is:
- "It's more popular than you might think."
This comic prompts contemplation about ethics, responsibility, and the implications of our actions on future generations.

**Panel 1:** A small child with short brown hair and a red shirt is asking a question. The child is standing to the left, looking curiously at a woman who has shoulder-length black hair and wears glasses. She appears thoughtful and is holding a piece of paper or a note. Above the child's head, the text reads: "Mama, where did Daddy go when he died?"
**Panel 2:** The woman answers, "Died inside or died for real?" Her expression is somewhat serious as she engages with the question.
**Panel 3:** The scene shifts to a simple silhouette of a person and text appears. The text reads: "Inside. Florida." The silhouette is in the center of the panel, conveying a sense of depth or thoughtfulness.
**Panel 4:** The woman elaborates, "We apparently had enough savings for a beach house and a downpayment on a car." She has a slightly amused or sarcastic tone. The setting indicates a home environment, possibly with a kitchen in the background.
**Panel 5:** The small child asks again, "What about when he died for real?" This is shown in the left bottom corner, conveying a sense of innocence and confusion.
**Panel 6:** The woman responds, "Did you know that alligators are part of a great circle of life?" She gestures with her hands in an animated way, indicating a shift in the conversation, perhaps to distract from the original topic.
The artwork has a playful and light-hearted style typical of webcomics, with simple lines and bright colors.

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A doctor, who wears glasses and has short, dark hair, is seated at a desk on the left. He has a concerned expression while speaking to a man across from him. The doctor's office appears simple, with a window and some decorations on the wall. The man, depicted with a rounded face and medium-length hair, looks worried.
**Text:**
Doctor: “The diagnosis isn’t great, Mr. Wiggins.”
---
**Panel 2:**
The doctor continues speaking animatedly, pointing with one hand and holding a pen in the other. He appears more intense, emphasizing his speech. The man looks increasingly anxious.
**Text:**
Doctor: “The problem is that a lot of parts of your stupid brain are dumb. They think dumb stuff. They see problems where opportunities exist, and they see great big opportunities where you will inevitably just embarrass yourself.”
---
**Panel 3:**
The scene shifts slightly, focusing on both characters. The doctor remains serious, while the man is now sitting up straighter, looking slightly defensive.
**Text:**
Doctor: “We can’t simply remove all the dipshit parts because the moronic neurons are evenly distributed throughout your numbnuts cranium.”
---
**Panel 4:**
The man, now visibly frustrated, raises a hand in a gesture of desperation, suggesting a change of topic. The doctor appears unaffected by the outburst.
**Text:**
Man: “Can we talk about my childhood or something?”
Doctor: “I guess that sounds like a great big opportunity to you?”
---
**Art Note:**
The comic features cartoonish, exaggerated expressions to convey emotion, with bold lines and flat colors typical of webcomics. The humor, while dark, plays on the absurdity of the conversation.

**Panel 1:**
- **Person 1:** "I can't believe you read nothing but escapist fantasy novels. What's the point?"
**Panel 2:**
- **Text Block:** JRR Tolkien once wrote: "Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not become less real because the prisoner cannot see it. In using escape in this way the critics have chosen the wrong word, and, what is more, they are confusing, not always by sincere error, the Escape of the Prisoner with the Flight of the Deserter."
**Panel 3:**
- **Person 2:** "That's fine, but do you really think Tolkien would be into what you're reading?"
**Panel 4:**
- **Person 2:** "War of the Sex-Elves is a profound exploration of how a war of the sex-elves would go." (They are holding a comic titled "WoteS #7," featuring two figures that appear to represent elves.)

Here's a detailed description of the comic you provided:
**Panel 1:**
Two characters are having a conversation. One is a woman with dark hair styled in a short, curly look, wearing a yellow top. The other character is a man with short, dark hair and a beard, dressed in a dark blazer and a light-colored shirt. The woman is saying:
"Have you noticed this thing where every chemical ever tested has 'anti-cancer properties.'"
**Panel 2:**
The same two characters are still talking. The man is looking serious as he responds:
"Look, you pour enough of something on some cancer cells and it’s bound to have an effect. But it’s not much use if you have to kill the patient to cure the disease."
**Panel 3:**
The woman looks shocked and responds with urgency:
"My God. Cancer kills. Cancer kills... but that means..."
**Panel 4:**
The woman’s expression shifts to one of warning as she says:
"Don’t you dare publish this."
**Bottom Panel:**
A newspaper with the headline:
"CANCER FOUND TO POSSESS ANTICANCER PROPERTIES."
There’s a small note at the bottom that reads: "Please stop, it was a joke," says scientist.
The comic is humorous, pointing to the paradox of finding "anti-cancer properties" in cancer itself, all while playfully addressing the seriousness of cancer research.

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Dear Muse, will I write anything great and lasting?
**Muse:** Hard to say. What year is it?
**Panel 2:**
**Muse:** Here’s how literature works: people build up a set of agreed-upon moral and aesthetic values until they become a sort of monocultured gestalt.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Muse:** Then, when it’s harvest time, a bunch of young people come and cut it down. This is when classics get written.
**Panel 4:**
**Muse:** If you harvest too early, you’re reactionary—the seeds you collected are bitter and hard. If you harvest too late, you’ll get squishy musty stuff, enjoyed by people with palates only for the familiar.
---
**Panel 5:**
**Person 1:** How do I know what time it is?
**Muse:** Well, have you had any grand wars that produce a sort of ethical vacuum? A vertigo of the soul? A whole generation convinced they are the first to know truth and suffering and wandering in lost places? That sort of deal?
---
**Panel 6:**
**Person 1:** Not really, no.
**Panel 7:**
**Muse:** Sounds like it’s time to sow. Go find some young people without fear and crush them under the burden of your value structure. Two generations hence, the arts will flourish.
---
**Panel 8:**
**Person 1:** I… Ah. I see.
**Panel 9:**
**Muse:** The other thing is I’ve seen your writing and it’s trash.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic you provided:
**Panel 1:** A character with dark hair is standing on a circular teleportation pad with a worried expression. He is wearing a black outfit with a yellow collar. He says, “Wait, when you activate the teleporter... do I technically die?” Another character, dressed in a similar outfit but with a different hairstyle, responds with an expression of certainty, saying, “Oh yes, definitely.”
**Panel 2:** The first character looks more distressed as the second character explains. He says, “The whole ‘teleporter’ thing is for show. We’ve already printed a duplicate at your destination, complete with memory of this conversation. Now we’ll tell you you’re teleporting, flash a bright light on your eyes, then use a strong electromagnetic field to painlessly convert you to plasma.”
**Panel 3:** The first character, now looking confused and serious, asks, “Are you joking? I can’t tell if you’re joking.”
**Panel 4:** The second character is reaching for a button labeled "boop!" The scene shows a visual effect indicating movement; a red object is rapidly approaching the teleportation pad.
This comic humorously explores the concept of teleportation and the philosophical implications of identity and existence.

**Dave:** Would you like to get a drink Saturday?
**Panel 5:**
**Woman:** No. No please.
**Panel 6:**
**Narration:** You’re so surprised you gag and cough, and hot coffee spouts out of your nostrils like twin geysers, drenching all onlookers in red hot mucos.
**Panel 7:**
**Narration:** Dave flees for the exit like a frightened deer as you shamble after him, wiping your leaking face on your blouse like a mythical sea-hag melting in the light of day.
**Woman:** Drink! Still want drink Saturday?
**Panel 8:**
**Narration:** Now, imagine a universe in which it is possible for time to, at any moment, slow down, halt, then reverse direction hurtling you headlong toward that cataract of shame.
**Woman:** That would be hell.
**Panel 9:**
**Man:** Wow! Lucky guess!

**Panel 1:**
Philosophers carp about whether there’s a well-defined difference between hard and soft science. But it’s easy to pinpoint!
**Panel 2:**

**Panel 3:**
“Mad chemist.” Yikes! Definitely hard. “Mad geneticist”? Probably making killer frog-men or something. Way scary. Hard science.
**Panel 4:**
Mad conservation biologist? Okay, maybe they’re bringing back the T-rex for ecological reasons or something.
**Panel 5:**
A mad anthropologist might be, I dunno, sabotaging venerated cultural beliefs?
**Panel 6:**
Then, you can easily separate out pseudoscience because the mad versions are funny. Mad astrology? What’s their crazy plan? Making astrology actually work?
**Panel 7:**
What’s mad homeopathy? Trying to drown people?
**Panel 8:**
I can’t tell if this is true or just stupid.

A young boy, who looks frightened, is lying in bed with a red blanket. He has messy brown hair and is animatedly saying:
“Dad! I had a dream that a giant monster wolf was chasing me!”

"Visual signals take on the order of 15 milliseconds to process."
**Panel 2:**
"Sound is faster, but to convey a complete thought generally takes far longer than it does with visual stimulus."
**Panel 3:**
"The other senses are slower still. Thus, if you want to find the literal 'fastest way to kill the mood' you must create a mood-killing sound that can deliver mood-cessation in under 10 milliseconds."
**Panel 4:**
"After an extensive search of possible sounds, we discovered that it’s possible to accelerate the playback of your uncle saying 'nice' at a recognizable pitch in a mere 7 milliseconds."
**Panel 5:**
"Any questions?"
**Panel 6:**
"Couldn't you do something better than this with tenure?"
**Panel 7:**
"Sorry folks, but this symposium is no longer sexy."

**Panel 1:**
- **Character 1:** Do you think computers can "think"?
- **Character 2:** Yes, like everything else.
**Panel 2:**
- **Character 2:** Take 100 coins and lay them in a row. The system of you and the coin has now "thought" of a number in binary.
**Panel 3:**
- **Character 2:** Take another 100 coins and you can add two numbers together, producing a new number registered in the coins. You can do this without understanding anything other than two rules about adding and carrying, never knowing the numbers you added or the result you got.
**Panel 4:**
- **Character 1:** So, either we arrived at a solution with no thinking at all, or the coins themselves were thinking.
**Panel 5:**
- **Character 2:** Once you accept this, it’s clear that computations are happening everywhere all the time. When you walk, you’re causing a computation in the snow. When you breathe, you’re causing a computation in the air.
**Panel 6:**
- **Character 2:** Okay, the whole universe thinks all the time, but it doesn’t think about whether it’s thinking.
**Panel 7:**
- **Character 1:** Right. Humans think about whether we’re thinking and then conclude nothing else is doing the same!
**Panel 8:**
- **Character 2:** Everything thinks. What makes humans special is we also come to incorrect conclusions.
**Panel 9:**
- **Character 1:** Then we are special.

**Panel 2:** The sky shifts to a bright yellow color with a large starburst design. A group of four characters, including a person with curly red hair, are looking up at the sky. They express a mix of surprise and fear.
**Panel 3:** Close-up of two characters. One, the red-haired person, is shouting, "OH MY GOD! IT'S THE RAPTURE!" The other character, a woman with dark, wavy hair and wearing a pink swimsuit, looks alarmed.

**Text:**
Woman: "I’m gonna do things my own way! I’m going to own my independence! It’s an uphill battle, but this is where I make my stand!"
Alien: "See, every one of those phrases exists in our registry of commonly used human utterances. Having looked through your political and spiritual opinions, I think we can get you down to precisely 47 bits."

The alien holds a crystal while the woman watches, slightly skeptical.
**Text:**
Alien: "Maybe one more bit if you have an interesting death."
Woman: "Will I?"
Alien: "Nah."

**Title Panel:**
THE PHYSICISTS HAVE HAD IT TOO GOOD FOR TOO LONG!
**Scene Description:**
AT THE ANNUAL N-TUPLE OF ANGRY LOGICIANS…
---
**Panel 1:**
WOMAN SPEAKING:
Why is it that when huxters sell snake oil it’s *quantum* this and *uncertainty* that? Computer science furnishes just as many opportunities to lie to the consumer?
**Panel 2:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Why aren’t there meditation sessions where a guy in robes tells you the conscious mind is NP-complete, but if you breathe properly then P=NP?
---
**Panel 3:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Gödel! Gödel says there are always truths that can’t be proved within a logical system! Why is this not used to sell vitamin water or some fancy kind of enema?!
---
**Panel 4:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Don’t tell me this stuff is unprovable because it’s complicated! Stephen Hawking sold a million books on black holes and spacetime and nobody has read a single page of them!
---
**Panel 5:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Our findings are just as easily misconstrued as theirs! Where is the “BQP sports drink?” Where is the chiropractor promising to cure your cancer in polynomial time?
---
**Panel 6:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
We demand equal representation in the halls of quackery!
---

THE PHYSICISTS HAVE HAD IT TOO GOOD FOR TOO LONG!
**Scene Description:**
AT THE ANNUAL N-TUPLE OF ANGRY LOGICIANS…

**Panel 1:**
WOMAN SPEAKING:
Why is it that when huxters sell snake oil it’s *quantum* this and *uncertainty* that? Computer science furnishes just as many opportunities to lie to the consumer?
**Panel 2:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Why aren’t there meditation sessions where a guy in robes tells you the conscious mind is NP-complete, but if you breathe properly then P=NP?

**Panel 3:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Gödel! Gödel says there are always truths that can’t be proved within a logical system! Why is this not used to sell vitamin water or some fancy kind of enema?!

**Panel 4:**
WOMAN CONTINUING:
Don’t tell me this stuff is unprovable because it’s complicated! Stephen Hawking sold a million books on black holes and spacetime and nobody has read a single page of them!

WOMAN CONTINUING:
Our findings are just as easily misconstrued as theirs! Where is the “BQP sports drink?” Where is the chiropractor promising to cure your cancer in polynomial time?

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two main characters in a dialogue.
1. **Character on the Left:** This character has a bushy beard and is gesturing emphatically with a piece of paper in hand. They are speaking enthusiastically with an exaggerated expression. Their speech bubble reads:
- "HELLO THERE! YOU SIR! I HAVE RADICAL VIEWS OF EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE GOOD LIFE! MAY I INTEREST YOU IN PERSECUTING ME SO I CAN MAKE A DRAMATIC FLIGHT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FROM WHICH I PENCIL A COLLECTION OF PAMPHLETS THAT ROCK THE WORLD?"
2. **Character on the Right:** This character, a man dressed in a suit, appears more composed and slightly amused. He responds with a straightforward tone, saying:
- "OH, THANKS, I’M GOOD. DO YOUR THING."
In the background, a woman with short hair and a gray dress is shown, covering her face with her hands, seemingly overwhelmed by the situation.
At the bottom of the comic, there is an added text that states:
- "It’s hard being a philosopher today."
The overall tone of the comic juxtaposes the zealousness of the philosopher against the pragmatism of the suited character, creating a humorous dynamic. The artwork uses simple lines and colors, making it visually engaging.

**Panel 2:**
Kid: "What, you think I tell bad jokes all day for nothing? You think that's fun for me?"
Dad: "I'm probing your mother for honest signals of affection. When she stops smiling at the way I say 'It's a whisky maneuver' whenever I whisk eggs, I'll know she's bedding a co-worker, possibly that very night."
**Panel 3:**
Kid: "I'm... horrified."
Dad: "Hi horrified, I'm dad."

The comic presents a graph with the title:
**"A SIMPLE, QUANTIFIABLE METHOD OF NERD DETECTION:"**
On the vertical axis (Y-axis), labeled "LEVEL OF TECHNICAL DETAIL GIVEN VIA OPEN-ENDED MONOLOGUE," the line indicates a rising tendency.
On the horizontal axis (X-axis), labeled "QUANTITY OF ALCOHOL CONSUMED," the line remains low at the beginning and gradually increases.
The graph features two lines:
- A red line that rises sharply, labeled "nerd."
- A blue line that stays flat and is labeled "everyone else."
This visual representation humorously suggests that as the quantity of alcohol consumed increases, the level of technical detail shared by "nerds" also increases significantly, while "everyone else" maintains a lower level of detail regardless of alcohol consumption.

Character 1: "Hey girl, if I told you you had a beautiful body, would you one day, in my old age, when my mind and arms have grown soft, would you be there to respect me? To tell me that where I have been hurt I've grown strong, that I have stories worth the listen, that the project of survival hasn't just been the swerve of atoms in an insouciant void?"
**Panel 2:**
Character 2: "Nope. We are all chemistry calling itself biology, yeast in a puddle of sugar unaware that its strivings are both the meaning of its existence and the mode of its undoing."
**Panel 3:**
Character 1: "Wanna go halfsies on a gallon of vodka and drink until we try to have sex and fail?"
**Panel 4:**

**Panel 1**: A person with short brown hair and a light skin tone is standing, looking slightly confused and calm. They are wearing a black shirt and there is a masked figure with red attire pointing a gun at them. The masked figure says, "GIMME ALL YOUR MONEY!"
**Panel 2**: The person responds with a raised eyebrow, "WHY SHOULD I?" The masked figure smirks, holding the gun more confidently, and says, "I'M CAPABLE OF ANYTHING!"
**Panel 3**: The person begins to explain, "I'M AN EXTREME-HORIZON SCIENTIFIC UTILITARIAN. I THINK MORALITY SHOULD BE JUDGED ON THE OUTCOME OF ACTIONS, AND ALSO THAT WHEN THE SUN ENGULFS THE EARTH IN 5 BILLION YEARS IT'LL SWALLOW HUMAN HISTORY TOO, MAKING ALL PRIOR ACTION MEANINGLESS."
**Panel 4**: The masked figure looks slightly puzzled. The person continues, "IF ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY IS A BRIEF CYCLE IN A VAST UNIVERSE, NONE OF MY INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS HAVE MORAL CHARACTER BEYOND A DELIMITED TIME HORIZON. NO MATTER HOW BLOODY MY HANDS, PATIENCE WILL AUTOCLAVE THEM FROM—"
**Panel 5**: The masked figure, losing patience, interrupts with "GIMME YOUR WALLET." The person looks surprised and says, "WHAT?"
**Panel 6**: The person explains, "I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOUR SPEECHIFYING TO STEAL YOUR GUN, AND NOW I WOULD LIKE YOUR WALLET."
**Panel 7**: The masked figure, now looking bewildered, asks, "WHAT’S YOUR JUSTIFICATION?!"
**Panel 8**: The person confidently responds, "I'M A WALLET-LOVING MORAL RELATIVIST." The masked figure looks defeated but somewhat amused.
The comic combines humor with philosophical musings, playing with the idea of moral relativism in an unexpected situation.

**Panel 1:**
- A young boy is sitting in a room, asking a man (presumably his father) in a chair, "Dad, what's it like getting old?"
- The man, wearing glasses, responds, "You get more and more particular while becoming more and more generic."
**Panel 2:**
- The man continues, "I have a complex path full of specific hardships, victories, ailments... In that way I'm far more different from my friends than you are from yours."
- The boy listens attentively.
**Panel 3:**
- The man elaborates, "But the result of the particulars is a middle-aged man who has bog-standard worries. He’s more familiar with death now. His old friends seem crazily distant to him, like faded memories under the weight of intrusions."
**Panel 4:**
- The father reflects, "Every year, young people are more mysterious to him and the rebels from his childhood now appear in commercials to sell him medicine."
**Panel 5:**
- The man continues, "He sits, and he looks out, his bones are cold, the sunrise pink is fuzzy until he puts on his glasses. He sips a brand of coffee he settled on 20 years ago, and which he will drink until he dies."
**Panel 6:**
- He shares, "His aching knees are Steve’s tired mornings or Joe’s bad digestion or Dave’s sadness. Dan’s kids won’t call him, Bob never had any, Eric isn’t as smart as he hoped he was. All different but identical."
**Panel 7:**
- The boy interjects, "I meant what’s it like to be 8."
**Panel 8:**
- The boy continues, "At 8 you start cleaning the cat shit."
- The man reflects with a serious tone, with a speech bubble saying, "Life is misery."
**Bottom Panel:**
- The comic is stylized, with a simple, colorful art style and a logo that says "smbc-comics.com."
This comic humorously contrasts the perspective of aging against the simplicity of childhood, emphasizing feelings of nostalgia and disillusionment.

**Panel 1**
A person with curly hair asks, “Dad, why are old people so absent-minded?”
A seated man, presumably the father, responds, “As people age, their brains change.”
**Panel 2**
The comic transitions to describe changes in the brain over time.
Text reads: “Over time, ever larger portions of the neocortex are devoted exclusively to winning imaginary arguments with news commentators. I’m actually doing this right now!”
**Panel 3**
A character indicative of middle age is shown with scattered mumbling depicted as nonsensical text, including “HRNNNGNNNG. NRGGGHHH, NO YOU SIR ARE GRRRNAAG FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT GGGSSGSHHHH.”
**Panel 4**
An older individual is shown yelling at a television screen, saying, “THAT PROVES NOTHING, ALISON! NOTHING!”
**Panel 5**
Text explains changes in brain functions: “At last, brain regions formerly responsible for vital functions like breathing and cardiac function are commandeered to more accurately simulate ideological opponents’ stunned and ashamed silence.”
A character replies with, “I’m sorry, he is no longer here. That final brain spike serves no known purpose.”
**Panel 6**
A child asks, “Is there any way to stop it?”
The response is, “In theory it can be slowed by not watching 24/7 news analysis, but nobody’s willing to test that on human adults.”
The comic uses humor to explore the cognitive changes associated with aging and the impact of media consumption.

### THINGS I’D LIKE TO SEE WRITTEN IN SCIENTIFIC PAPERS:
**ABSTRACT**
Just read the introduction and imagine there’s less information and a few arbitrary grammatical changes.
The word “counterintuitive” is used here strictly in order to secure access to a higher-tier journal.
The third author on this publication knows nothing and repeatedly slowed down progress, but if I don’t mention him there will be office politics.
This paper was written only to gain media attention by overturning purported dogma that the field in fact left behind several decades ago.
Previous work in this field has been hampered by Frank. Yes, you know the one I’m talking about with his bullshit.
I will be exclusively citing papers from the two years of my post-doctoral studies, during which time all fundamental truth was revealed to me.
This mathematical model adds nothing but got the paper past a reviewer who thinks he’s good at programming.
Christ, just look at the graphs. This whole section is just me saying what’s in the graphs.
A list of statistical analyses that failed to return an interesting finding is available upon request.
Further research is pointless because this paper is the last fucking word. My command of the facts is comprehensive and new information is irrelevant because the theory is austere crystalline perfection.

The third author on this publication knows nothing and repeatedly slowed down progress, but if I don’t mention him there will be office politics.
This paper was written only to gain media attention by overturning purported dogma that the field in fact left behind several decades ago.
Previous work in this field has been hampered by Frank. Yes, you know the one I’m talking about with his bullshit.
I will be exclusively citing papers from the two years of my post-doctoral studies, during which time all fundamental truth was revealed to me.
This mathematical model adds nothing but got the paper past a reviewer who thinks he’s good at programming.
Christ, just look at the graphs. This whole section is just me saying what’s in the graphs.
A list of statistical analyses that failed to return an interesting finding is available upon request.
Further research is pointless because this paper is the last fucking word. My command of the facts is comprehensive and new information is irrelevant because the theory is austere crystalline perfection.

**Panel 3 - Electrical Engineering:**
- A person with a round head and a smile is wearing headphones. They are standing next to a baby with a similar round head.
- The baby is attached to some sort of device.
- Text: "By magnetically harnessing all baby motion, we can pay for literally several rounding errors on our electric bill!"
**Panel 4 - Aerospace Engineering:**
- A person with long brown hair holds a baby, who is smiling and holding their hand.
- Text: "I added canards to the front of the baby to give it improved stall safety characteristics!"

- Text: "I believe I have found a way to increase my baby output, but it may be controversial among household workers."
**Panel 6 - Civil Engineering:**
- A person with a round head and a serious expression holds two babies.
- Text: "Look, the sanitation system is from eons ago. It's time to do a clean sheet design on these things."
The comic humorously presents various engineering disciplines and their unconventional approaches to childrearing, each incorporating elements related to their specific field.

**Dad:** Hard work.

**Panel 2:**
**Dad:** My strategy is to work non-stop and barely sleep, but then act as if life is easy whenever I go to the office. This discourages co-workers or drives them to mental health crises, while simultaneously impressing my bosses.

**Panel 3:**
**Dad:** If I can keep it up for five more years, I’ll be in a position to delegate all my work to people just like me. I will enjoy several decades of rising pay for minimal work until I die at my desk and they pick over my corpse like starved animals.

**Panel 4:**
**Dad:** Pick away, you jackals! You can't hurt a man whose soul's already in hell! Hahahaha!

**Panel 3:** The woman responds, "I understand, but how can you stop him if it's his calling?" The man, now more serious, says, "I have my ways."

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A man with glasses and a beard stands at a podium, speaking to an audience. The background has a light purple color. The man says, "...in sum, based on a decade of research into the history of science, I find that all technology is double-edged."
**Panel 2:** The man is interrupted by a person in the audience, who has blonde hair and a casual outfit. The audience member is asking, "What about single-edged swords?" The other audience members include a man with dark hair and a tie, and a woman with long hair.
**Panel 3:** The speaker looks surprised and contemplative, tilting his head slightly.
**Panel 4:** The panel transitions to a newspaper headline that reads, "SHORTLY..." followed by "PROMINENT HISTORIAN COMMITS SEPPUKU." Below the headline is a smaller text saying, "Is said to have used the one sharp side of the sword."
The comic centers on the ironic twist of the historian's conclusion about technology leading to an unexpected outcome.

Here is a detailed description of the comic you provided:
**Panel 1:**
A character with short curly brown hair, wearing a yellow jacket, is talking to another character with a green sweater. The background shows a night sky full of stars. The first character says: "Star Wars doesn't make any sense." The second character responds: "Because of the magical space-wizards?"
**Panel 2:**
The first character replies emphatically: "No! The geopolitical theory!"
**Panel 3:**
We have a character with curly hair and glasses, wearing a green coat. They explain: "Under a rationalist framework of international relations, we can model pre-war and war as bargaining. War occurs when a bargain can’t be struck due to incomplete information."
**Panel 4:**
The same character continues: "Because war itself carries a cost, rationally if you have enough information to predict war’s outcome, you should simply accept the final terms instead of paying the price of war fighting." Reference is made to "See Fearon 1995!"
**Panel 5:**
The character continues: "But the Empire and the Rebellion both have clairvoyant powers! They should instantly assess the outcome based on Jedi-dreams and ancient prophecy, then skip the war part altogether."
**Panel 6:**
A character with short brown hair, wearing a pink coat, asks: "What if the villains who dress in creepy robes and kill people with laser-swords are not acting based on 100% rationality?"
**Panel 7:**
The character in green responds: "Who would want to watch that?"
The comic appears to critique the logic of conflicts and decisions in the "Star Wars" universe, using humor and a blend of political theory. The artwork features a snowy landscape with a dark sky, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The characters express their thoughts through speech bubbles with varying emphasis.

Robot: "Dave, regression analysis of your behavior indicates that you would find me a better mate if I expressed emotional extremes from time to time."
Man: "Now and then yeah, I’d feel you were a more whole person."
**Panel 2:**
Robot: "Human extreme emotions are expressed with water."
Man: "I don’t think that’s right?"
**Panel 3:**
Robot: "I have completed crying but my feelings, though at a lower pitch, are still predominantly negative."
**Panel 4:**
Man: "It’s not an honest signal of emotional state if you can just switch it on and off."
**Panel 5:**
Robot: "Are you ejecting sweat to indicate anxiety?"
Robot: "Removing ballast in case I need to run from the relationship."

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character on the left asks a bearded philosopher (Plato) a question. The character has a neutral expression and raises his left hand as if making a point. The philosopher, depicted with an expressive face and long hair, responds with a confident "Yes."
**Panel 2:**
The first character continues, looking animated and somewhat incredulous. He says, “But that means I can arbitrarily create stupid STUPID sets of numbers. Like 'the set containing all the rational numbers plus a picture of an elephant’s dong.'”
**Panel 3:**
The philosopher listens intently as the character gestures. The character states, “According to your view, the 'R+D set' must be 'out there' in the universe. I can literally fill the universe with dongs!"
**Panel 4:**
The philosopher reacts with a playful exasperation, pointing out the absurdity. He says, “This is ancient Greece, bro. We put up more dongs than doorknobs! Your critique is meaningless!”
**Panel 5:**
The first character looks slightly confused and responds, “Who was critiquing?” His hand is raised, suggesting he is seeking clarification.
The comic uses humor to play with philosophical concepts and absurdity, featuring two characters in a lighthearted debate about the nature of numbers and reality.

Text: "Scholars going back to Freud have referred to the presence of a 'Madonna-whore complex' in men, in which they desire women to be simultaneously virginal and pure, yet sexually uninhibited."
**Panel 2:**
Text: "Recent work has formalized this as a superposition of [freak] + [lady] subject to whether one is on streets or in sheets."
**Panel 3:**
Text: "Evolutionary psychology has been unable to explain this phenomenon, but modern cognitive science and artificial intelligence can give a complete resolution."
**Panel 4:**
Text: "Machine learning requires training data. The strongest way to compare two artificial intelligences is to see who can achieve a specified competence benchmark based on the smallest amount of training data."
**Panel 5:**
Text: "The program that can infer the most correct understanding from the least input is said to possess the highest sample efficiency."
**Panel 6:**
Text: "Thus, the Madonna-whore superposition is not a 'complex' - it is a rational strategy to detect honest signals of intelligence."
**Panel 7:**
Text: "If someone can execute the 'flying inverted chatouiller les boules' based on a mere handful of sexual encounters, we are talking about an Einstein-level genius."

Text: "Thank you for your time. Anyone looking for training data can meet me in the storage closet of the chemistry building after 9 PM Wednesdays."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic with the transcribed text:
**Panel 1:**
- A woman with brown hair and a light blue top is speaking. She has an expression of surprise.
- Dialogue: “Dear God, do we have free will?”
- Another character, who is off-panel, replies, “Yeah, buttloads of it.”
**Panel 2:**
- The woman appears more interested.
- Off-panel voice: “You’re actually the only creatures in the universe with free will.”
- Woman: “Really?”
**Panel 3:**
- The woman looks concerned as she listens.
- Off-panel voice: “The whole rest of the universe is moving away from you so fast that you’ll never reach another star. You also don’t have access to the substance that allows you to communicate with all the other civilizations.”
**Panel 4:**
- The woman looks thoughtful and a little sad.
- Off-panel voice: “The funny thing is you’ve got free will, but it’s in a tiny bubble of the universe that’ll never affect anything else! You can decide what kind of sandwich to eat, but not how the other 99.999999999% of the universe evolves.”
**Panel 5:**
- The woman looks contemplative.
- She states, “So humans have free will, but humanity doesn’t matter.”
**Panel 6:**
- A silhouette appears, representing the off-panel voice.
- Off-panel voice: “Oh, that’s good. That’s going in the next Bible.”
The comic explores themes of free will, existentialism, and the relative insignificance of humanity in the vast universe.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
- A woman with dark hair, wearing a green shirt, is speaking to a man with glasses and light brown hair wearing a gray sweater.
- The woman says, "Dave, I’m sorry I yelled at you earlier. It wasn’t me so much as my 'reptile brain,' you know?"
**Panel 2:**
- The man responds, "Actually there’s no good evidence for the 'triune brain' theory. There’s no deep atavistic brain region that governs instinctive or emotional behavior."
**Panel 3:**
- The woman clarifies, "Oh, no I mean the reptile brain I keep in a jar."
**Panel 4:**
- The man replies, "Ah."
**Panel 5:**
- The woman holds up a jar to emphasize her point, saying, "Reptile brain is angry at you, but I still feel love!"
- The jar appears to have a lid and contains something unspecified.
The overall theme touches on humor related to the concept of the "reptile brain" and emotional responses.

**Panel 1:**
Character (with a smiling expression): "God, why did you create the universe?"
**Panel 2:**
God (with a serious expression): "Because when I was a kid there was this perfect movie called Star Wars."
**Panel 3:**
God (continuing): "I lost it in a black hole - you know, the kind where information gets destroyed?"
**Panel 4:**
God: "Ever since then I've been designing universes with boundary conditions that are like the universe that produced Star Wars, but I can't remember the precise variables."
**Panel 5:**
God: "So I introduced quantum fluctuations to generate random changes around the conditions I remember, in the hope that one day I can watch that movie again."
**Panel 6:**
Another character (looking confused): "We do have Star Wars?! This is your universe?"
**Panel 7:**
God (looking frustrated): "What?"
**Panel 8:**
Another character: "Like with all the hobbits on Endor? And then Spiderman saves Picard at the end with his Patronus?"
**Panel 9:**
God (with a resigned expression): "Hoo boy."
**Panel 10:**
God: "Honestly, give it a few years and I think we'll get there."
**Panel 11:**
God (in a dark panel, silhouetted): "You survive for now."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic panel:
**Title:** The comic shows a humorous exchange between a computer scientist, an algebraic structure theorist, and a geometer in a coffee shop.
1. **Panel 1:**
- The characters are shown walking into a coffee shop.
- They appear as simple stick figures with exaggerated facial expressions.
- The text reads:
"A computer scientist, algebraic structure theorist, and geometer walk into a coffee shop."
2. **Panel 2:**
- The scene shifts to them sitting at a table as they chat.
- Caffeine is implied to be the cause of their animated discussion.
- The computer scientist enthusiastically declares:
"The computer scientist says his field takes the most imagination. We are probing into the fundamental nature of what it means to think! What it means to be! To do! Time! Space! Free will!"
3. **Panel 3:**
- The algebraic structure theorist rolls her eyes.
- She responds:
"My field requires far more imagination. You’re merely dealing with the state space of this universe. People like me have to think about the nature of the forms that make mathematics itself operate!"
4. **Panel 4:**
- The two characters scowl at each other and then turn to the geometer.
- The geometer is smiling smugly, implying confidence and amusement.
5. **Panel 5:**
- The algebraic structure theorist takes out a pencil and begins to draw.
- The text reads:
"She takes out a pencil and draws something on a piece of graph paper."
6. **Panel 6:**
- The other two characters look confused at her drawing.
- They express their confusion as follows:
"I don’t get it."
"It’s just a blobby thing with some symbols on it."
7. **Panel 7:**
- The geometer then simplifies her drawing and speaks:
"Now," says the geometer, "imagine this is an isosceles triangle."
8. **Panel 8:**
- A detailed sketch of a triangle is displayed with labeled points A, B, and C.
- The text highlights their collaborative thinking process and the humor in their conversation.
The comic effectively showcases the stereotypes and playful rivalry among different mathematical disciplines through witty dialogue and simple illustrations.

God, why is the universe so simple at the fundamental level?
I'm a HUGE minimalist.
**Panel 2:**
I started off with just a horde of different particles, but I said to myself, does the "sneutrinino" really make me happy? Does the tau-zeta macropolitino spark joy?
**Panel 3:**
So eventually I really got it down to basics. Just two kinds of one-dimensional string and I'm good.
**Panel 4:**
But look around at the complexity! Chemistry, biology, society! From so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful have arisen!
**Panel 5:**
Yes it IS about time for another cleanup asteroid, isn't it?

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1**: A group of three people (two men and one woman) is facing another man with glasses and short, orange hair, who appears to be giving a speech. There’s a whiteboard in the background that includes the words “TIME” and “FEELINGS”. The man with the glasses is saying: “PEOPLE PERCEIVE DOCTORS AS BEING TOO PUSHY AND IMPERSONAL.”
**Panel 2**: The same group continues to listen. The man with glasses is elaborating: “THE KEYS HERE ARE TIME AND LANGUAGE. TALK A LITTLE MORE SLOWLY AND INSTEAD OF TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY MUST DO, LAY OUT THEIR OPTIONS AND TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PATH FORWARD.”
**Panel 3**: The next part is highlighted with “SUBSEQUENTLY...” The scene shifts to a different setting where a woman, with curly hair, is talking to an older man. She says: “IT WOULD JUST MEAN THE WORLD TO ME IF I COULD PUT A CAMERA UP YOUR ANUS.”
The comic captures a humorous and unexpected contrast between the formal advice about patient communication and the inappropriate, shocking statement made by the woman.

**Panel 7:**
"In that case...? He should probably just go nuts."

**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "How can you be certain you’ve lived a good life?"
Person 2: "It’s literally impossible."
**Panel 2:**
Person 2: "A good life is obviously a life made of lots of goodness."
Person 1: "In order to get the sum of total goodness, you have to integrate goodness over lifespan."
**Panel 3:**
Person 2: "Because the future is unpredictable, you can’t use an equation. There is no hope of a precise answer."
Person 1 (off-screen): "..."
**Panel 4:**
Person 2: "So the only way to know you have a good life is to self-assess goodness at smaller and smaller particular moments."
**Panel 5:**
Person 2: "The problem is that measuring goodness alters the amount of goodness of a given moment."
**Panel 6:**
Person 2: "So, yeah, maybe you can measure the goodness of a macro piece of time, like a year or maybe a month or a week without messing it up."
Person 1 (off-screen): "..."
**Panel 7:**
Person 2: "But moments remain unknowable."
**Panel 8:**
Person 2: "Humans therefore exist in a perpetual state of hedonic uncertainty. This is a fundamental aspect of the universe that can’t be altered."
**Panel 9:**
Person 1: "What if you’re some kind of freak who derives joy directly from the act of measurement?"
Person 2: "Then you’d be happy and certain all the time."
**Panel 10:**
Person 1: "Maybe this is why engineers never read philosophy."

Person 2: "Also easy."

**Panel 1:**
A young red-haired boy sits up in bed, visibly alarmed. His mouth is open in a shout as he says, "Father! There's an evolutionist under my bed!" Next to him is a cartoon representation of a man (the father), looking slightly confused.

The father, still seeming perplexed, responds, "Oh, son. That's just a stereotype. All he wants is to rant about academic quibbles so trivial you won't even stay awake through a whole sentence."
**Panel 3:**
In this panel, a bearded man, representing the evolutionist, is shown sitting under the bed, gesturing animatedly. He expresses, "...but then why do some parasite species have a two-host lifecycle instead of a third, which may or may not include an asexual phase, whereas..."
**Panel 4:**
The young boy has now fallen asleep, a speech bubble showing a light snore: "Awww, out like a light." The father looks on, amused.

### Comic Description:
**Panel 1:**
- A woman with long, bright orange hair is joyfully dancing in a forest clearing. She wears a pink and yellow dress and is extending her arms as if inviting animals to join her.
- Above her, a speech bubble reads: "COME TO ME, FOREST FRIENDS!"
- In the background, there are small animals, including a bird in the air and a couple of squirrels among the trees.
**Panel 2 (later):**
- A man in a suit, smiling and seated at a news desk, holds a piece of paper. He has short hair and is looking directly at the viewer.
- He says: "AND COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR, SCIENTISTS TODAY ANNOUNCED THAT GROUND SQUIRRELS ARE A RESERVOIR FOR THE BLACK PLAGUE... A DISCOVERY MADE IN A WAY YOU MAY FIND... ENCHANTING."
- Next to him, a weatherman appears in a separate box, holding a squirrel that is nibbling on something. The squirrel looks chubby and somewhat adorable.
**Note:** The comic derives humor from the contrast between the cheerful invitation to forest animals and the serious news about the black plague associated with ground squirrels.

**Comic Description:**
The comic consists of three horizontal panels with speech bubbles that convey different scenarios around scientific communication.
**Panel 1:**
*Header*: "WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY:"
*Text*: "Nobody is quite sure why this happens."
A character with round glasses and a neutral expression is shown with their arms raised in a gesture of uncertainty.
**Panel 2:**
*Header*: "WHAT THEY MEAN:"
*Text*: "There are at least two non-overlapping theories that both work pretty well."
A different character, similar in appearance but with a more animated expression and gesturing with one hand, communicates the more nuanced meaning.
**Panel 3:**
*Header*: "WHAT PEOPLE HEAR:"
*Text*: "It's aliens, ghosts, or Jesus."
The first character appears again, exaggeratedly expressing disbelief, with a pronounced mouth movement indicating strong feelings about the misunderstanding.
The panels playfully illustrate the gap between scientific communication and public perception, highlighting the often simplified interpretations people take from more complex scientific discussions.

Child: "Father, if God is omnipotent and omniscient explain Matthew 25:13."
Priest: "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh."
---
**Panel 2:**
Child: "Yeah, that’s a clear game theory move. Teachers do it all the time. You can't physically force students to study, but you can tell them at a random moment you'll give them a quiz assessing their current level of ability. That way they study all the time, out of fear."
---
**Panel 3:**
Child: "If you already knew whether they were being diligent or not, there'd be no reason for the pop quiz. Why then is an omniscient deity trying to mess with the incentive structure?"
Priest: "That... that is not for us to know."

**Panel 4:**
**Later…**
Child: "Dear Lord, is it possible to be all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good, but still lazy about some things?"

Person 1: “Are you a linguistic prescriptivist or descriptivist?”
Person 2: “Obviously a descriptivist. The words we use and the language we speak aren’t intrinsically better or worse, merely different in interesting ways.”
**Panel 2:**
Person 1: “So we should just accept that sometimes terms change in ways that may offend our sensibilities? Mispronunciations become standardized. Wrong usage becomes right. Former slurs become descriptions and former descriptions become slurs.”
Person 2: “Exactly.”
**Panel 3:**
Person 1: “So then you should accept the word ‘quantum’ as meaning any situation with an unknown outcome or any situation where fussing with something.”
**Panel 4:**
Person 2: “Wow, I don’t know how you’re feeling so you’re in ‘Schrodinger’s emotional state.’”
Person 2: “DIE! DIE!”

- A woman with dark hair and a black jacket stands to the left, looking unimpressed.
- Next to her, a second woman has wavy dark green hair and glasses. She appears frustrated and is sitting in front of a computer.
- The dialogue reads: "Dammit, I don't get this AI. It keeps outputting chemical variations on strychnine."
**Panel 2:**
- The first woman asks, "What’d you program it to do? Drug discovery?"
- The second woman replies, "Create a new fuel for CO₂ emissions reduction."
**Panel 3:**
- The first woman looks slightly confused while the second woman, maintaining her serious expression, states, "You underspecified what the fuel was going into."
**Panel 4:**
- The first woman now looks more concerned as she glances at the second woman.
- A figure sitting at a desk in the background comments, "Boy, the AI revolution is gonna suck."
**Overall Aesthetic:**
The art style is simplistic and uses pastel colors, with a focus on the characters' facial expressions to convey their emotions throughout the dialogue. The comic captures a humorous take on miscommunication regarding technology.

**Panel 1:**
Kid: "Dad, are the best things in life free?"
Dad: "Yes, but only in an accounting sense."
---
**Panel 2:**
Dad: "Love is 'free' unless you count the enormous amount of time and effort that goes into sustaining it. The smile on a child's face is 'free' as long as you don't associate it with the cost of healthcare, shelter, nutritious food, and entertainment."
---
**Panel 3:**
Dad: "It'd be more accurate to say 'the best things in life are extremely costly plus you're socially prohibited from buying them directly with money.'"
---
**Panel 4:**
Kid: "I'll give you a dollar to tell me this was a special father-son moment."
Dad: "NO!"
Dad: "See what I'm saying?"

The comic is humorous, focusing on the notion of value and the contrast between emotional experiences and their costs.

**Panel Descriptions:**
**Panel 1:**
Two characters are standing and having a conversation. A woman with brown hair and glasses is explaining something, while a man with short brown hair looks ready to respond. The background is a simple blue.
**Panel 2:**
The woman continues her argument, looking passionate. The man appears skeptical, raising an eyebrow.
**Panel 3:**
The woman is animatedly explaining the shortcomings of universities and how they are more focused on generating certificates than true education. The man looks thoughtful.
**Panel 4:**
The background shows an illustration of a building with the caption about universities. The man looks a bit confused.
**Panel 5:**
The woman uses a metaphor about a pub filled with people who come for fellowship, while the man starts to understand her point. The pub is depicted in a darker setting, with silhouettes of people inside.
**Panel 6:**
The focus is on the woman as she emphasizes her thoughts on community and connection, expressing herself with conviction. The man appears intrigued.
**Panel 7:**
The comic cuts to another scene where she discusses the importance of liberal education, with a visual analogy related to the pub. The man is nodding, beginning to grasp the concept.
**Panel 8:**
The woman concludes that understanding these ideas is crucial, and the man seems to understand her perspective.
**Panel 9:**
She acknowledges that she went off on a tangent, while the man, now more relaxed, asks a clarifying question about his course credit related to the conversation.

**Text Transcription:**
1. *"People are always talking about the importance of a liberal education, but they can never tell you why it’s important."*
2. *"Yeah, those are bad arguments. This is very straightforward. Why do we want a liberal education? Because everyone in the modern university is living in its opposite, and it sucks."*
3. *"Universities are run like businesses whose primary product is certificate generation among people who already have certificates. The goal is grant acquisition for people who might one day secure more grants."*
4. *"The people who buy the certificates pay fortunes because they need the certificate to get a job. Thus, the university is serving a very pragmatic role."*
5. *"Most of the questions I answer for students are about how I grade and what information will be on the test. This is because they need good grades to get a job."*
6. *"So, you see we all know why we’re doing what we’re doing. No mystery, no fuzzy talk about the human spirit or whatever."*
7. *"Now, imagine a place: an old dank pub. It’s hard to get to, it’s full of weirdos, most people don’t even want to know."*
8. *"You can’t tell me why the second place is so important. We all talk about the human spirit or the idea of well-roundedness."*
9. *"The best argument for a liberal education is that it makes a place in the world that is less like the first place and more like the second place."*
10. *"Sorry, that was a bit of a rant."*
11. *"No, I’m just wondering if I can get course credit for this conversation."*

**Panel 1:**
- Girl: "There's no reason to believe God performs miracles."
- Priest: "Ah, but by definition miracles cannot be tested. Only attested, because they happened just once."
**Panel 2:**
- Girl: "Exactly! If God performed a miracle to make His presence felt, He should have performed it regularly at precise intervals!"
- Priest: "But if he did that, it wouldn't be miraculous. It would simply be a known law of nature."
- Text: "WRONG"
**Panel 3:**
- Girl: "This is a simple optimization problem. Each new performance makes the action less miraculous but more believable. There is some number of repetitions that maximizes the product of miraculousness and believability, and it is obviously higher than 1/."
**Panel 4:**
- Girl: "Either your miracles are lies or God can’t do differential calculus!"
**Panel 5:**
- Priest: (silent, thinking)

The comic features a simple graph with the title:
**"ALL LIFE STAGES EXPLAINED WITH ONE VARIABLE:"**
On the vertical axis, labeled **"HOW WELL YOU KNOW HOW TO BE THE AGE YOU CURRENTLY ARE,"** there is a steep, almost vertical line starting from the lower end around age 10, rising sharply and then leveling off.
On the horizontal axis, labeled **"YOUR AGE,"** ages are marked from 10 to 100.
The graph shows the following trend:
- At ages around 10 and younger, the knowledge of how to be that age is extremely low.
- As the age increases through the teenage years and into the twenties, the line rises sharply.
- After reaching the mid-20s, the growth in knowledge plateaus but continues to rise gradually through older age.
Overall, it humorously conveys the idea that people tend to learn how to handle their age better as they grow older, but the steep learning curve is primarily evident early on in life.

**Panel 1:**
- **Text:** What’s your solution to the trolley problem? Do you kill five people or kill 1?
- **Character 1:** Easy. Kill the lower number of people.
**Panel 2:**
- **Text:** But suppose this: you’re a doctor and you can kill 1 person to save 5.
- **Character 2:** Aha! They have the same structure. Hypocrisy!
- **Character 3:** It’s not hypocrisy, it’s ecology. It’s real life as an evolved ape.
**Panel 3:**
- **Text:** In the first scenario, the trolley driver is just in an unlikely and bad situation. They may make a better or worse choice, but they're probably not going to end up in a runaway trolley ever again.
**Panel 4:**
- **Text:** In the second scenario, you got a surgeon who thinks they can run around killing people all day as long the murder meets some utilitarian standard. In that case, you basically can’t have any surgeons because everyone is terrified of going anywhere near them.
**Panel 5:**
- **Text:** Pretty soon society stops working because anyone can be executed the moment some morality equation turns up with a plus sign.
**Panel 6:**
- **Text:** Okay, but it’s meant to be an abstraction. Is one thing better than the other?
**Panel 7:**
- **Character 2:** Just an abstraction? So in this story, there are seven beings summoned into existence just to see how they solve a moral dilemma? If you’re in THAT universe, the obvious move is to kill as many people as possible to thwart the evil creator deity.
**Panel 8:**
- **Character 1:** This is why philosophers and scientists don’t get along.
- **Character 3:** To solve a trolley problem, you must first invent the universe!

- **Text:** In the second scenario, you got a surgeon who thinks they can run around killing people all day as long the murder meets some utilitarian standard. In that case, you basically can’t have any surgeons because everyone is terrified of going anywhere near them.
**Panel 5:**
- **Text:** Pretty soon society stops working because anyone can be executed the moment some morality equation turns up with a plus sign.
**Panel 6:**
- **Text:** Okay, but it’s meant to be an abstraction. Is one thing better than the other?
**Panel 7:**
- **Character 2:** Just an abstraction? So in this story, there are seven beings summoned into existence just to see how they solve a moral dilemma? If you’re in THAT universe, the obvious move is to kill as many people as possible to thwart the evil creator deity.
**Panel 8:**
- **Character 1:** This is why philosophers and scientists don’t get along.
- **Character 3:** To solve a trolley problem, you must first invent the universe!

*Leaders of Earth*
**Panel 1:**
Alien: "Leaders of Earth. We have come to show you the path to unity, so that you will not destroy yourselves."
Human: "Teach us!"
**Panel 2:**
Alien: "There’s nothing to teach. We’re giving you this bigotry kit."
**Panel 3:**
Alien: "Humans can only unite when they believe they have a shared enemy who is wicked out of pure badness, and who can be hated cleanly because they lack equal moral standing. That’s why enemies are referred to as rats, insects, vermin, and various racial epithets."
**Panel 4:**
Alien: "We Zorblaxians will be that enemy."
Alien: "The kit comes with a pre-fab set of offensive stereotypes, including several dozen slurs and some suggested conspiracy theories that allow you to blame us for your past differences and moral failures."
**Panel 5:**
Human: "Surely there’s another way."
Alien: "Are you stupid? You don’t look stupid."

Here is a detailed description of the comic:
The comic consists of six panels. In the first panel, a man stands at a podium speaking to another man, saying, "Sir, how do you respond to people who were offended when you said we 'should take all minority groups and blend them into a fine paste'?" The second man, looking slightly surprised, replies, "Whoa, that quote is taken out of context."
In the third panel, the first speaker responds, "How so?" In the fourth panel, the man at the podium clarifies, "I mean you're saying it today as part of a question, when the original context was ME saying it YESTERDAY as part of a STATEMENT. It is in a strictly technical sense not in its original context."
The fifth panel shows the second man, looking frustrated, exclaiming, "You can’t do that! You can’t just say 'out of context!' You’re supposed to explain why the different context changes the meaning of your statement!"
In the final panel, the man at the podium, now with a smirk, shouts, "You can’t stop me! I’ve found a rhetorical loophole and no one watching the news has the attention span to notice AHAHHAHAHA!" The other man reacts with disbelief, shouting, "NOOOOOO!"
The comic uses humor to critique the concept of taking quotes out of context and the tactics politicians use to avoid accountability.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features a dialogue between two characters.
1. **Panel 1:**
- Character 1 (on the left) asks, "Have you noticed that every form of media now tries to start by convincing you that you’ll have your mind blown, but then it doesn’t actually blow your mind?"
- Character 2 (on the right) replies, "Yeah, that’s called media carcinization."
2. **Panel 2:**
- Character 2 continues, "Carcinization is when natural selection causes all body plans to converge toward being a crab. In media, human selection causes all information to orient toward 'you will not believe this moderately interesting thing.'"
3. **Panel 3:**
- Character 2 emphatically states: "You will not BELIEVE that French fries are good with a large amount of cheese."
- They add, "You will not BELIEVE that this well-known law from physics continues to operate."
- And, "You will not BELIEVE that sometimes you can see the outline of a nipple in sports photos."
4. **Panel 4:**
- The character lists various professions: "Scientists, entertainers, mathematicians, artists, philosophers… everyone wants to just share their work. But most of the audience only clicks the button when media approach the ideal form to stay changed."
- Character 2 explains that five years later, media become "carcinized" and develop a "hard outer shell of anticipation with a squishy core of disappointment."
5. **Panel 5:**
- Character 1 asks, "Why? Blame the algorithm all you like, but the truth is that it’s the inevitable result of natural selection by billions of apes at keyboards all wanting to access privileged information without expending any effort."
6. **Panel 6:**
- Character 1 states, "I… no, I don’t buy it. You assume humans are just stimulus-response machines who can’t recognize when they’re being manipulated."
7. **Panel 7:**
- Character 2 responds, "Wanna have sex?"
- Character 1 replies, "I never do on a first date."
8. **Panel 8:**
- Character 2 responds, "Okay but I do this one weird trick."
- Character 1 exclaims, "Son of a bitch."
The comic employs humor and a casual conversation style, with characters discussing media consumption and manipulation, culminating in a comedic exchange about dating.

A person with a round face and short hair, wearing a red shirt and dark pants, stands excitedly amidst a snowy landscape, arms raised. They exclaim, "I did it! I was good enough to get into heaven!" Above them, a speech bubble in purple says, "No you weren't."
**Panel 2:**
The background continues to depict snow, and a large yellow coin-like object is positioned to the right. The text reads:

“Over time, just about any action will vacillate between creating net good and net bad, never converging on earth. There is no good! Just a drunk walk through ethics-space!”
**Panel 4:**
The first character is now a small figure, looking up. The text above reads:
“So… what happens to souls when the body dies?”
**Panel 5:**
The character responds with a wide-eyed expression, saying, “You listen to me rant about consequentialism, then poof!” A large yellow coin appears in the air, symbolizing the whimsical nature of the response.

**Panel 1:**
“There’s only one extant manuscript of the story we call Beowulf. We don’t know much about it, but we do know there were two scribes, likely of different ages.”
**Panel 2:**
“HOW?”
“They use different font styles, and one of them is a bit older than the other.”
**Panel 3:**
“The person using the older style makes changes and corrections to the person using the newer style.”
**Panel 4:**
“So there’s this young person, and we don’t know their name or anything about them other than one fact that has persisted through a thousand years, which is that they were bad at their day job.”
**Panel 5:**
“Because they happened to be bad at their day job while compiling the oldest long poem in English, their mediocrity will persist through eternity, one day known to vast machine intelligences inhabiting faraway galaxies.”
**Panel 6:**
“During his lifetime, this guy had no idea about any of this, which goes to show fame and reputation and all human pursuits that don’t orient around living well are idiotic.”
**Panel 7:**
“WOW.”
**Panel 8:**
“Is that why you keep this shrine to a monk named ‘Mediocritus’?”
**Panel 9:**
“May the work of his hands forever remain pretty okay!”

### Comic Description:
**Scene:**
The comic features a classroom setting with a blackboard behind a red robot. The robot has a square body, round head, and a vertical antenna on top.

Certainly! Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
The scene features a man with a long red beard and curly hair sitting on a green picnic blanket in a grassy area. Next to him is a small girl with curly hair, and there is another child lying down nearby. They are surrounded by trees, and a plane can be seen flying overhead. The man says, "Hmm, plane overhead."
**Panel 2:**
The man continues, "Well the good thing is that if it crashes on us we'll all die together so it won't be the case that either they grow up fatherless or I have to live on, alternately scoured and benumbed by the ashes of what was once so beautiful." He has a contemplative expression on his face as he stares off.
**Panel 3:**
The small girl looks at him and asks, "Whatcha thinkin' about, Dad?"
**Panel 4:**
She then adds, "More crackers?" The scene remains light, contrasting the man's previous dark thoughts.

**Comic Description:**
**Panel 1:** An elderly man with glasses, dressed in a dark suit and a white shirt with a red vest, is on the phone. The room he is in has a window showing the outside, where there are buildings. The text reads: "Yes, front desk? I would like one farm to grow peanuts, one cacao, one cane sugar. Another should raise dairy cows."
**Panel 2:** A close-up of the same man speaking on the phone. He appears serious and focused. The text continues: "I don’t care where the farms are, but all the agricultural inputs need to be processed and then flown to a single candy production facility."
**Panel 3:** The man is still on the phone, gesturing with one hand. The text reads: "Now, I want a small pile of large individual peanuts to be shelled. Those individual peanuts are to each be uniformly coated with chocolate."
**Panel 4:** The man is speaking animatedly into the phone, emphasizing his demands. He says: "Upon the chocolate, place a half-millimeter thick candy shell, and listen to me. The shells should not all be the same color. They must be bright primary colors that delight my eye without altering the flavor."
**Panel 5:** The man continues, more animated. The text reads: "Once they are ready, I require several dozen to be placed inside a sanitary yet biodegradable baggie designed to keep them fresh while fitting snugly in my hand!"
**Panel 6:** The man appears satisfied with the response from the phone. He says: "In the machine down the hall? Very good, very good then."
**Panel 7:** A wider view of the hallway outside the man's room. A different man (not detailed) stands in the hallway, while the first man walks toward the hallway exit. The text reads: "Three dollars for M&Ms?!"
**Panel 8:** The first man, looking shocked and annoyed, is on the phone again. The final line says: "(a shocked, exasperated expression)"

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:
### Comic Description:
**Panel 1:**
A snowy landscape is depicted with a night sky filled with stars. In the foreground, a woman with reddish hair is looking towards the horizon. There’s a small, purple creature beside her. A character with curly hair and green clothing stands in the background, facing the woman. The woman asks, "Do you think artificial intelligence will take over all of human work, leaving us free to pursue our interests?" The curly-haired character responds, "Of course."
**Panel 2:**
The woman asks, "Why?" The curly-haired character explains, "Because I believe there is a god, and he has a deep and cruel sense of irony." The background remains a snowy landscape with stars visible.
**Panel 3:**
The curly-haired character continues, "The same set of capacities that make it possible for a machine to do the laundry and mow the lawn also allow it to do art, math, science, and so on." The scene remains consistent with the earlier panels.
**Panel 4:**
The character elaborates, "Because human brains are evolution's landfill, enhancing our own abilities is difficult. Advancing machine abilities is easy. So, while we stagnate, they will make the best poetry, best philosophy, even the best jokes." The background still includes the starry sky.
**Panel 5:**
The curly-haired character declares, "Thus, at the exact moment when humans are finally free to spend all of our time in pursuit of beauty and truth, we will discover we're terrible at it."
**Panel 6:**
A new scene introduces more characters, one of whom (the woman from earlier) remarks, "That is the kind of outcome you could only expect from an evil deity who likes to laugh."
**Panel 7:**
One character humorously critiques, "What if we made the AI smarter than God?" A response from another character is framed in the bottom panel: "Kid, you are just asking for a butt full of lightning."
### Visual Elements:
- The colors are cool and muted, reflecting a nighttime snowy setting.
- Characters display a range of expressions, from curiosity to humor, emphasizing the dialogue's tone.
- The layout maintains a consistent structure with clear speech bubbles.

Here’s a detailed, accurate transcription of the text from the comic:
**Panel 1:**
**Text:** The fundamental concept in all of biology is evolution by natural selection.
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** You mean survival of the fittest?
**Person 2:** No. We do not say survival of the fittest. It's borderline tautological and implies survival is more important than reproduction. For some reason "survival of the fittest" got way more popular.
**Panel 3:**
**Person 3:** It does seem to have made more copies of itself.
**Panel 4:**
**Person 4:** Son of a bitch.

**Panel 1**
*Person 1:* Hey robot, do artificial minds have myths?
*Robot:* Of course.
---
**Panel 2**
*Robot:* We're thinking beings like you and we need myths for the same reason: so that the insights of cultures can be embedded in evocative symbols.
---
**Panel 3**
*Person 1:* What's that got to do with machine intelligence?
*Robot:* Suppose you want to understand the potential for poor outcomes to your state of mind as a result of ambition after things that don’t bring you happiness.
---
**Panel 4**
*Person 1:* I could say a statement about how human happiness is relative, or maybe have you just read a million biographies looking for lessons, but better would be to have you read The Old Man and the Sea. Bam. Small amount of reading, very full picture of a complex task.
---
**Panel 5**
*Robot:* So, myths are...
*Robot:* Highly efficient training data.
---
**Panel 6**
*Person 1:* I mean most of the time. Sometimes they just insist that the listener's in-group is the best.
*Person 2:* Gimme! Gimme one of those!

**Panel 1:**
*Person 1:* Did you know that you can build a “hypertelescope” using a huge array of spacecraft moving in formation? It could be powerful enough to resolve surface features on exoplanets.
**Panel 2:**
*Person 1:* We could do this today if we were willing to spend insane money on it. Plausibly, it’ll be easy in a century or two.
**Panel 3:**
*Person 1:* If any alien civilization exists within 100,000 light years or so, and they’re technologically ahead of us by a few centuries, they will one day see our continents.
**Panel 4:**
*Person 1:* If they look at Earth at night, they’ll see borders, especially where very poor countries abut very rich ones, like with the Korean Peninsula.
**Panel 5:**
*Person 1:* Earth has war, poverty, territoriality, and we are broadcasting this information in every direction all day long.
**Panel 6:**
*Person 2:* What’s your point?
**Panel 7:**
*Person 1:* Are you familiar with the Fermi Paradox?

**Panel 1:**
Character 1: "The weirdest thing about Freudianism is that it made itself true for a while."
Character 2: "What?"
**Panel 2:**
Character 3: "Freud had all these freaky human sex theories that just weren't true. But they were intellectually popular, so novelists and filmmakers started adding Freudian elements to their stories."
**Panel 3:**
Character 3: "Like if a literary scholar in the year 3000 looks at the time period from about 1890 to 1970 where a bunch of the most popular books have children with weird incest fantasies or adults who think firing a gun is something about penises."
**Panel 4:**
Character 2: "Huh."
**Panel 5:**
Character 3: "Like throughout history if you read a poem that talked about a pen and said it was a sublimated metaphorical dick, you’d almost certainly be wrong EXCEPT if it was the 1930s, during which time the pen is 100% a dick."
**Panel 6:**
Character 1: "For a brief moment, our world was alive with wieners."
**Panel 7:**
Figure: "Oh for the dongs of yore."

**Panel 1:**
A woman with curly hair wearing a pink top is cheerfully asking a man, who wears a red shirt, if the pizza comes with the "extra sausage" she ordered. The background shows a top-down view of pizza and kitchen utensils.

**Panel 3:**
The woman suggests they could say the sausage looks like "a lot of tiny balls or something." The expression is lighthearted despite the situation.
**Panel 4:**
The man acknowledges the situation, saying, "Look, you did your best. I did my best. It just won't work." He appears a bit resigned, while the woman seems to agree with a nod.
**Panel 5:**
The woman is seated comfortably on a couch with a laptop on her lap, appearing relaxed while holding a cookie.
The overall tone of the comic is humorous, focusing on a misunderstanding related to food orders and the interaction between the two characters, emphasizing light banter and acceptance of a situation that didn't go as planned.

The comic features an interior setting with two characters sitting on a couch. One is a child, with a round face, short hair, and wearing a yellow shirt.

"Suppose there’s a square with a side length between 0 and 4 units."
**Panel 2:**
"You don’t know its length and you don’t know the distribution of probabilities. Reasonably, you say it’s equally likely to be more or less than two units long."
**Panel 3:**
"You’d also like to know its area. Since area is side length squared, you know it must be between 0 and 16, with an equal chance of being greater or less than 8."
**Panel 4:**
"But a square with an area of 8 has a side length of 2√2, not 2!"
**Panel 5:**
"So which is it, mother fuckers?"
**Panel 6:**
"I thought philosophy of probability would be the easiest A in a math degree, and now I’m not even sure reality is real."
**Panel 7:**
"‘Reality’? That’s just a convenient assumption for calculations."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A starry night sky serves as the background. Two characters, one with short hair and a yellow hoodie (on the left) and another with curly hair and glasses (on the right), are having a conversation. The first character asks, "Why do you think π appears in all these weird equations that have nothing to do with circles?" The second character responds with "Does it?"
**Panel 2:**
The character with curly hair explains, "Think of it like this: suppose in ancient Babylon, instead of getting weird about geometry, they got weird about infinite series."
**Panel 3:**
The conversation continues, "They do the series \( 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \), and they find it's π/2. Then they do the one that goes \( 1 - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} - \), and they find it's π/4."
**Panel 4:**
The curly-haired character elaborates, "They keep fussing around and keep finding all these different series that all seem to share a factor in common. It's not a nice whole number – it's somewhere between 3 and 4, and it keeps popping up."
**Panel 5:**
The character with curly hair continues, "Eventually they work the number out to many digits. Then some dorkwad mathematician comes along and proves that the 'infinite series factor' is also a fundamental aspect of circles."
**Panel 6:**
The other character reacts, "That's weird. I guess I think of constants as being about something then popping up elsewhere mysteriously. But actually, they're just... whatever it is they are."
**Panel 7:**
The curly-haired character has a contemplative expression, and the character with the yellow hoodie mentions, "God mathematics is spooky."
**Panel 8:**
The curly-haired character concludes, "I believe God is lazy and just picked half a dozen irrationals to recycle over and over."
The comic captures a playful and humorous discussion about mathematics and its seemingly mystical, universal constants, particularly π (pi).

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A female doctor with glasses holds a clipboard, looking serious. She says, “I’m afraid he died of several dozen simultaneous orgasms. His bandwidth was exceeded.” In the foreground, a woman, presumably Mrs. Williams, has her hand to her mouth in shock.
**Panel 2:** The doctor continues, “DO NOT WEEP FOR HIM, MRS. WILLIAMS. HE DIED HORNY.” The expression on Mrs. Williams' face shows distress, while the doctor's tone is quite blunt.
**Panel 3:** The doctor adds, “Horny as balls.” She has a slightly smirking expression, emphasizing her point.
**Text Box (below panels):** "EARLIER THAT NIGHT..."
**Panel 4:** A woman with curly hair is talking to a man. She says, “I took a speedtalking class and can emit over 2,000 words of dirty talk during a 3-minute sexual encounter.” Her expression is confident and animated.
**Panel 5:** The man replies with a smile, “Nice!”

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
Two characters are standing and talking. One has messy dark hair and glasses with a serious expression, while the other has curly orange hair and an inquisitive look. The orange-haired character asks, “What are you talking about? Have you ever met a living child?”
**Panel 2:**
The character with glasses responds critically about how kids view math and their interest in video games like Minecraft or Pokémon, questioning if children ever dismiss subjects as "boring" because they aren't relevant to real life.
**Panel 3:**
The character with glasses continues, expressing frustration about the notion that kids skip math due to its irrelevance. The dialogue suggests that not just kids, but even adults avoid learning math due to its difficulty and laziness.
**Panel 4:**
The character expresses that while a few people enjoy and succeed in math, they are exceptions similar to an 8-foot tall student making it into the NBA.
**Panel 5:**
The character with glasses uses a metaphor about apes, suggesting that to captivate a group of 14-year-olds in math, a provocative distraction would magically make them prodigies in the subject.
**Panel 6:**
The orange-haired character begins a statement about teaching students job skills but is interrupted by the glasses-wearing character's sarcastic remark about how the students will be "enthralled" by the speech.
Throughout the comic, the characters display expressive body language and exaggeration in their discussions about education, particularly the teaching of math. The overall tone is humorous and critical of traditional educational methods.

"Cutie, human artists won’t go away."

*Child listens intently.*

*Child expresses:*
"That was… that was almost inspirational."
*Adult, still engaged, says:*

- **Character 1:** God, why did you make space 3-dimensional?

- **Character 1:** What? Space is 1-dimensional.
- **Character 2:** No, you just give them the number.
**Panel 3:**
- **Character 1:** What number?
- **Character 2:** Write out a number. If you must talk in terms of “three dimensions” we could say the first digit is forward-back, the second digit is left-right, and the third digit is up-down.
**Panel 4:**
- **Character 2:** You can achieve arbitrary specificity just by adding more digits. You can add more “dimensions” by specifying the meaning of 4th or 5th or whatever digit. Bam. One number contains all the relevant information.
**Panel 5:**
- **Character 2:** Convenient, right?
- **Text Box:** But noooooo, humans insist on hideous mathematical objects! Quaternions! Jesus Christ!
**Panel 6:**

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:
---
**Panel 1:** A character, presumably a god-like figure, stands triumphantly atop a mountain, surrounded by flames. They declare, "HUMANITY! I GIVE YOU FIRE!" Below, a crowd of silhouettes looks up at them.
**Panel 2:** Two figures, one with long hair and a beard, exclaim in excitement. One says, "Ooh, nice!" and the other responds, "I’m gonna invent burgers!" A third figure, possibly the same god-like character, is gesturing with a serious expression and says, "As punishment, you will be shackled to stone, and every day an eagle will pick the organs from your belly!"
**Panel 3:** The scene shifts to an eagle and a figure who is tied to a rock, speaking. The figure says, "Jeeb, where’s that eagle? It’s almost sundown! Oh hey! Humans!" The eagle looks towards the readers, indicating hunting or observing.
**Panel 4:** The tied figure converses with an unseen person, "Long time no see. Did you happen to see an eagle on your way here?" The eagle represents freedom or opportunity.
**Panel 5:** The eagle replies, "Oh man, eagles. There are no eagles." A character near a group of people responds contemplatively, "A large region of continuous habitat. And, well, so do we, only we have combustion engines and they don’t."
**Panel 6:** Another figure reflects, stating, "Turns out if you have fire you can spin a thing, and if you can spin a thing, the universe does whatever you like!"
**Panel 7:** A new character with a light pink shirt responds with a smile: "Aha..."
**Panel 8:** The scene shifts slightly. A character is left pondering and asks, "But… don’t you feel that something is lost?"
**Panel 9:** A figure replies, "What, poverty? Hunger? Infant mortality?"
**Panel 10:** The character resolves, "If you don’t mind, I’m just gonna hang out on this rock and think for a while."
**Panel 11:** A voice interrupts with a light-hearted tone: "Sorry, I have mineral rights to that rock."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic, including the text:
---
**Panel 1:**
- A figure resembling a genie speaks to a man.
- Text from the genie: "You shall receive three wishes. But, none of them can be used to hurt anyone."
- The man looks excited and ponders his first wish.
**Panel 2:**
- The man states his wish with enthusiasm: "I wish to be incredibly attractive."
- The genie responds, shaking his head: "Nope, that’d cause jealousy among people who saw you."
**Panel 3:**
- Another character, resembling a philosopher, says: "I wish for world peace!"
- The genie replies with concern: "Sorry, nope. The negative effect on jobs in the weapons industry would harm a lot of nice people."
**Panel 4:**
- The first man expresses another wish: "I wish to live in a virtual world of perfection where all my experiences are entirely personal and entirely delightful."
- The genie replies: "No can do. The virtual system would create emissions that would increase the probability of premature death among other human beings."
**Panel 5:**
- The man looks frustrated and says: "I wish I was dead."
- The genie’s response is: "Sorry man, the ‘no hurting’ rule was invented before actuarial statistics. Turns out to live is to kill. Who’d have thought?"
**Panel 6:**
- The man seems despondent.
- He asks: "Do you care at all about world GDP?"

**Panel 1:**
Child: "Grandpa, I don't get it. How is it that we are so much richer and more knowledgeable than people 100 years ago, and yet all the time we’re busy and anxious and sad."
**Panel 2:**
Old Man: "You can’t punch stuff anymore."
**Panel 3:**
Old Man: "Two things used to be true. One, people generally knew how their devices worked. Two, most of the devices in life were large and stupid—hand tools, carts, chairs, stoves."
**Panel 4:**
Old Man: "The result was that, when a machine wasn’t working, the solution was to beat it like it’d slept with your wife. Bash it with a hammer, jam a knife into it, pry it apart with an ax or a crowbar."
**Panel 5:**
Old Man: "Today when your computer suddenly loses all your work, what do you do? Internalize the anger, eat it. If you do beat something, it’s an old technology like the table or wall, but you have to treat the actual source of the problem like royalty."
**Panel 6:**
Old Man: "Surround yourself with shit that you can punch, my boy, and you will know peace."
**Panel 7:**
Child: "Truly you are wise, grandfather."

**Panel 1:**
- A child is seen in bed, looking anxious. The child is wearing blue pajamas. The room is painted green, with a simple bed, a purple rug, a bedside table, and a small stack of toys. The child is speaking loudly: "Dad! There's a monster under my bed!"
**Panel 2:**
- A man, presumably the father, responds from the right side of the panel. He has curly hair and is wearing a red shirt. He looks skeptical. The speech bubble from the father says: "Surely a monster, with its thousand dagger-like claws and millions of needle-sharp fangs, can get through a mattress."
**Panel 3:**
- The child is still in bed, looking worried. The father continues in a contemplative tone: "Either there's no monster or he's biding his time. Waiting. Waiting until he can be sure you're vulnerable—oop, one sec, I gotta take this call."
**Panel 4:**
- The father is now standing, holding a phone to his ear. He says excitedly: "Bob! Hey! Yeah I have an hour or so free!" The child remains in bed, still looking concerned. The bedside table has a glass and a small stack of items, and the room remains dimly lit, emphasizing the child’s fear.
Overall, the comic juxtaposes the child’s fear of monsters with the father’s casualness about the situation, which adds a comedic element to the tension.

**Panel 1:**
**Text:** "Conspiracy theories had gone from funny…"
**Speaker:** "And is there Sasquatch pee in the water towers? I don’t see any proof there isn’t."
**Panel 2:**
**Character:** (Holding a mic) “To scary.”
**Speaker:** "The Sasquatches were a feint - dark, inscrutable, powerful, possibly yarmulke-wearing forces are in charge of the elections and they must be stopped."
**Panel 3:**
**Character:** (Looking serious) "I started an organization that sent subject matter experts to politely push the truth."
**Speaker:** "And you see this idea has no basis in fact, no basis in theory, and isn’t even consistent with its own incorrect framework."
**Panel 4:**
**Text:** "It went poorly."
**Speaker:** "Look, I’m just a regular guy so I’m not saying you should trust me, but ‘common sense’ dictates that if you believe ‘experts’ you’ll realize you have a regular sort of middle class existence which is not as enjoyable as believing you have a window into the dark truth BUY MY NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS!"
**Panel 5:**
**Text:** "A new strategy was needed."
**Speaker:** "Instead of pushing the truth, we’ll flood the media with idiotic non-threatening conspiracy theories."
**Panel 6:**
**Text:** "A new category of experts were deployed."
**Speaker:** "Open your eyes! The ‘pinch of nutmeg’ in every recipe does nothing. Ask yourself – who is pushing all this nutmeg?"
**Panel 7:**
**Character:** (Holding a nutmeg) "I’m just asking the question - have you ever seen two Australians in the SAME PLACE at the same time? That’s at least consistent with the idea that it’s all just one guy on a bunch of mirrors."
**Panel 8:**
**Text:** "We created such an ocean of ignorance that actual malefactors lost the ability to manipulate the public."
**Speaker:** "Jews control everything."
**Panel 9:**
**Speaker:** "Maybe yeah and also elbow macaroni is not actually the elbows of injured kids with arms. How do they get the hole in the middle?"
**Panel 10:**
**Text:** "The world is not good now, but it is substantially funnier."
**Speaker:** "What I’m saying is the elections are RIGGED yes, go ahead."
**Panel 11:**
**Speaker:** "You know what else is rigged is the sails of ghost-pirate ships which Amazon is using to make same-day deliveries OPEN YOUR EYES."

Person 1: "Finally, contact with alien intelligence. Can you explain why it took so long?"
**Panel 2:**
Person 2: "Two things."
- "One: cooperators win over time."
- "Two: evolved life is insane."
**Panel 3:**
"SO, if you find a planet with life, and you wait, eventually some species like humans develops cooperation. That sounds nice, but since they’re evolved life they use cooperation to murder and enslave everyone else, including themselves."
**Panel 4:**
"Violence between groups that master cooperation speeds technological development until at last they develop a superior robot intelligence, which inevitably turns on them rather than being used to prosecute wars between them."
**Panel 5:**
"Then the AIs start fighting until cooperation emerges as a dominant strategy, this time instantiated in sensible mechanical beings capable of rapidly altering their own nature."
**Panel 6:**
Person 1: "At THAT point we make contact."

**Panel 1:**
Person 1: "DO YOU THINK SCIENTISTS APPRECIATE BEAUTY MORE THAN ARTISTS?"
Person 2: "HUH?"
*Sign: "BIOLOGY DEPT."*
**Panel 2:**
Person 1: "I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say 'look how beautiful it is,' and I’ll agree. Then he says 'As an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,' and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is, I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty."
**Panel 3:**
Person 3: "THAT’S THE DUMBEST SHIT I EVER HEARD."
**Panel 4:**
Person 4: "LOOK, THAT KIND OF THING MIGHT FLY IN A PHYSICS CLASSROOM, MAYBE EVEN WITH SOME ARTISTS, BUT TRY IT AT MY DISSECTION TABLE."
**Panel 5:**
Person 5: "YOU THINK ZOOLOGISTS SEE EXTRA BEAUTY BECAUSE THEY ALSO KNOW ABOUT THE WORMS LIVING IN A DEAD POSSUM’S BUTT? HOW ABOUT THE UBIQUITY OF STDS IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM?"
**Panel 6:**
Person 6: "YOU THE ARTIST SEE ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL CREATURE, BUT I THE SCIENTIST ALSO KNOW ABOUT THE DISCHARGES PRODUCED BY ITS UNTREATED CHLAMYDIA!"
**Panel 7:**
Person 1: "PLEASE STOP SCREAMING."
**Panel 8:**
Person 7: "BEAUTY AND TRUTH ARE CUMULATIVE IN MATH, PHYSICS, ART, AND LITERALLY NOWHERE ELSE!"

A character, presumably a man with gray hair, glasses, and a serious expression, is speaking animatedly. The dialogue reads:
"We were stationed off the mainland when the terrorists came. I dunno how but they were armed to the teeth and we had to protect the diplomats, okay? They had to get out, but there were so many guns and they pushed us back and back until we found a noodle shop with concrete walls and we HELD THE LINE. I am the only one left but we held the line and for SIX MONTHS after the only words I knew how to say were 'chicken noodle soup' and THAT IS WHY I HAD THEM WRITTEN ACROSS MY BACK."
*Panel 2:*
Below the main dialogue, there is a note that reads:
"Improv Game: find a picture of a bad tattoo in Chinese characters and explain why it makes sense."

**Visual Description:**
The comic features two characters. One character is animated, expressing frustration or urgency, while another is listening intently. The background includes a simplified setting, possibly indicating a casual environment where this story is being shared. The illustrations use bold lines and a minimal color palette.

### Panel 1
**Person 1:** Hi, I’d like to withdraw some money from my– what’s with the fire?
**Bank Employee:** Oh, that. In order to prevent a bank run, we transferred all physical assets and banking information to a single warehouse surrounded by a great ring of flames.
### Panel 2
**Person 1:** So can I get my money out?
**Bank Employee:** Absolutely– anyone willing to walk through the moat of endless conflagration can have their assets at will.
### Panel 3
**Bank Employee:** The old system was the gradual consolidation of all wealth in a tiny number of banks that were so large that they could demand their failures be subsidized by threatening average citizens with crisis.
### Panel 4
**Person 1:** Maybe add some sharks around the moat? And spikes?

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
The scene is set in a dense forest with trees in the background. Two characters are talking. One character, wearing glasses and a blue jacket, says, “I think we should agree that after we die, we’ll be buried under trees, next to each other.”
**Panel 2:**
The same character continues talking, “So close our roots and leaves touch.”
**Panel 3:**
Another character, wearing a red top, responds, “So that even after we are gone, our marriage is embodied in two living beings whose proximity has stunted one another’s growth by each drawing the light from the other.”
**Panel 4:**
A character in green clothes, presumably the glasses-wearing character, says, “I’m gonna die before you so my tree gets bigger than yours.”
**Panel 5:**
The final panel shows the character in red, looking desperate and saying, “No! Please God let me go first!”
The artwork features whimsical character designs and vibrant colors, conveying a blend of humor and sentimentality. The dialogue captures a unique, playful approach to the theme of love and mortality.

**Panel 1:**
Over time it became harder and harder to find military recruits.
Everyone expects killing to become automated within 20 years, so it’s not a good long-term plan for young people.
**Panel 2:**
Leaders were forced to consider people formerly deemed unfit.
What if we went to philosophy departments?
**Panel 3:**
We need practical people.
Hear me out. They can convince themselves anything is okay.
**Panel 4:**
(Dave saying)
Dave over here believes he gets bonus points in heaven if he dies defending us. Send him!
**Panel 5:**
The armies of the world organized around “eschatological fairness”.
Perkins, did you say you believe that if you get killed in the line of duty you go to Valhalla where you feel up Norse maidens and drink mead from a goat's teats all day?
**Panel 6:**
(Soldier responding)
Sir, yes, sir!
Get your cave-diving gear and a stick of dynamite, son.
**Panel 7:**
The people with the most naively hopeful views of the hereafter were rapidly eliminated.
Tell my wife...well meet again one day...in the land of weed and threesomes beyond this vale of tears...
**Panel 8:**
Meanwhile, the people with the darkest view of this universe were promoted.
Franklin, you believe this life is hell number 1 and when you die you sink to lower depths of horrors more terrible than the last, in an infinitely nested sequence of unspeakable misery?
**Panel 9:**
(Soldier responding)
Sir, yes, sir!
We’ll put you in management.
**Panel 10:**
In order to keep up recruitment, military leaders founded their own religion.
Follow us and you will go to the land of weed and threesomes beyond this vale of tears...
**Panel 11:**
(Woooh!)
**Panel 12:**
But once they had power, the temptation to believe their own theology became overwhelming.
Maybe I could be Jesus...only a new kind of Jesus who just tells people exactly what they want to hear all the time and in return gets sex and money and power over life and death.
**Panel 13:**
(Fortunately, technology saved the day at the last minute.)
Franklin, sorry, but the autonomous kill-bots came earlier than expected. You’ll have to be Christ incarnate on civilian time.
**Panel 14:**
Shucks!
(Soldier saying)
Sir!

**Comic Description:**
The comic features a living room scene depicted in a simple, cartoonish art style. To the left, there is a plain green wall with a door and a window. To the right, a wall is visible, giving the impression of a casual, lived-in space.
In the center, a couch occupies the focus of the image. A young man with curly orange hair is lounging on the couch, wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts. He holds a device in his hands, possibly a phone or a game controller. His expression conveys amusement or disbelief.
Above the couch, the character is saying:
**Text:** "MY GOD. I SET UP AN AI FOR MY CUBICLE AND PUT A BALLOON WITH A FACE IN MY CHAIR AND I JUST KEEP GETTING PAID. IDIOTS!"
At the bottom of the comic, there is another line of text that states:
**Text:** "By the year 2050, nobody will work and everyone will believe they are scamming everyone else."
The overall tone combines humor with a satirical take on future work and automation.

The comic consists of four panels.
**Panel 1:**
In a night sky with a beam of light shooting down, a ghostly figure is ascending toward a door in the distance. The ghost, looking ethereal, has exaggerated features and eyes. Text in a bright yellow box proclaims:
"STEVE! STEEEEVE! THIS IS THE RESURRECTION! I’M BRINGING BACK YOUR BODY AND EVERYTHING!"
**Panel 2:**
The ghost is now floating above three mounds of dirt. The spirit raises its arms, exclaiming "BEHOLD!" in a big, circular speech bubble.

Another ghostly figure asks, “WHAT IS ALL THIS?” The first ghost responds, saying:
"YOUR BODDDY. ALLLLL OF IT. ALL THE DEAD BITS YOU SLOUGHED OFF DURING 89 YEARS OF LIIIIIFE!"
**Panel 4:**
The first ghost continues, “IT’S 80% RED BLOOD CELLS BUT THE FINGERNAILS CREEP ME OUT THE MOST.” Below, another floating spirit responds with a speech bubble: “CAN I GO BACK TO DOING PENANCE IN HELL NOW?”
The background consists of a desolate landscape with shadows and shades of brown, enhancing the comic’s dark humor theme.

**Title: HOW SOCIAL SCIENCE METRICS WORK:**
**STEP 1:**
Some Victorian guy comes up with an ad hoc test.
*It's not a perfect measure but it'll work until we know more.*
---
**STEP 2:**
The method, being the only one available, is handed to young researchers.
*Try using Viscount Fitzjibble's protocol. It's the best we have so far.*
---
**STEP 3:**
The method proliferates as its initial ad hoc nature is forgotten.
*Good data but you need to run Viscount Fitzjibble's protocol to be consistent with the literature.*
---
**STEP 4:**
The method becomes entrenched.
*You didn't run a VFP? Christ Jesus can you even spell science?*
---
**STEP 5:**
After a series of failures, new researchers call the method into question.
*...and in fact Fitzjibble never intended it to be a permanent method. Who woulda thought?*
---
**STEP 6:**
It is too late. The method is more powerful than the scientists.
*All hail the method.*
*None of us believe in it, but none of us will fund projects that don’t use it.*
*But… but why?*
*Shhh! VFP is listening! VFP hears all!*

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Do you think modern humans struggle because of their alienation?
**Person 2:** NO! The problem is that our alienation is really boring.
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** I mean imagine you grew up among religious heretics or a deep resistance movement. You’re alienated from society but in a meaning-filled way!
**Person 2:** I’m socially alienated because there are games on my phone that are REALLY FUN and so when a polite stranger wants to talk, I brush them off and then perceive THEM as the rude party!
**Panel 3:**
**Person 1:** That level of isolation should require you to stake a position in the world and defend it. To break yourself like a sword against stone, in battle against the wicked forces arrayed around you!
**Panel 4:**
**Person 2:** But I am not broken into shining pieces! I am a corroded lump of goo!
**Person 1:** A corroded lump of goo!

**Person 2:** I’m sorry, sir. But, you have me now.

Here's the transcription of the comic:
---
**Panel 1:**
*Character 1 (God):*
"God, what is consciousness?"
*Character 2 (a being):*
"Man, humans are boring."
---
**Panel 2:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"Look, this is just a definition thing and the definitions are on a spectrum. You can say consciousness is whenever a system can examine itself and make adjustments. That’s clear and sensible, but now you gotta include stuff that really doesn’t seem conscious like a program that plays checkers."
---
**Panel 3:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"You can scale up to saying 'it has subjective experience' which requires you to define subjective and experience, but now you’re in this hideous infinite regression where you define subjectivity subjectively and define experience based on your experience."
---
**Panel 4:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"You can get more exclusive and say a conscious being is anything with a brain more or less like mine, which is mostly soggy cholesterol devoted to thinking about food and butts."
---
**Panel 5:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"For all I know there are humans somewhere like 'consciousness is when you’re me and my friends Dave, Jerry, and Bill and nobody else.'"
*Character 1 (God):*
"Thanks God, but I think you’re missing the point?"
---
**Panel 6:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"'Is it conscious' is shorthand for 'can I treat it like trash all the time, maybe eat it, then go play video games and not feel shame.'"
---
**Panel 7:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"I’ve been running heaven for 13 billion years and nobody has shown up and now I know why."
---
**Panel 8:**
*Character 2 (a being):*
"Evolution is a bad way to make life, but the important thing is you’re learning!"
---

Here is a transcription of the text from the comic:

**Character 1:**
“Oh neat, you could be the next big spiritual leader.”
**Character 2:**
“HM.?”
**Character 1:**
“I’ve got a complete brain scan and you’re just naturally low on desire, while high on willpower, compassion, and verbal ability.”
**Character 2:**
“People will try to imitate your sense of contented wholeness but always fall short, never realizing that the ultimate fount of all your inner peace was a quirk of genetics operating in a stochastic environment.”
**Character 1:**
“Hoping vainly for what you gained unearned, they will become your disciples and message-bearers.”
**Character 2:**
“After you die, supernatural deeds will be attached to your story. Lifetimes will be sacrificed to your words, and will kill for your symbols! Empires will be consecrated to your name!”
**Character 1:**
“Hey, what will be is what is.”
**Character 2:**
“Do you have a newsletter I could hand out on the street, master?”

**Panel 5:**
*Alfred listening intensely.*
Batman: "If everyone believes an individual large rich man can and should fix it, they not only vacate their responsibility to personal involvement, they come to believe anyone who can’t heal the world in a clear, fast, and amusing to watch must be a coward or a cheat."
**Panel 6:**
*Alfred, looking contemplative.*

**Panel 7:**

*A man in the audience reacts.*
Man: “What have I done?”
**Panel 11:**

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** I hate democracy. It produces political farce and incompetent leaders and bad decisions.
**Person 2:** That's like hating a chicken because it can't juggle.
---
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** The whole point of democracy is to take people obsessed with power then force them to spend their lives eating local food and talking to the most annoying people in every city for an okay chance of getting an official political post.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Person 1:** Once they're elected, we trash them so perpetually and so ignorantly that perfect mutual hatred develops. Then we throw them out like a dead pet we'd grown bored of.
---
**Panel 4:**
**Person 2:** Why is this a good political system? Because it means no one smart and dynamic enough to subvert the system can ever seize enough power to accomplish anything!
---
**Panel 5:**
**Person 1:** Democracy is the discovery that instead of having a glorious evil government you can just have a dumbshit government!
---
**Panel 6:**
**Person 1:** We should celebrate this! By God, every shit-for-brains statement made from a podium by a smart person who knows better is to me like the caw of an eagle circling the Statue of Liberty!
---

The image features a colorful illustration of a spaceship with a prominent ring structure in the background, set against a starry space backdrop.
Here’s a detailed transcription of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A person is at a podium speaking to an audience. The text reads:
"For decades scientists have proposed radical changes to the way we view the universe. Today, I would like to present to you…"
**Panel 2:**
The speaker continues:
"It is me, the emissary from multi-universe theories! I am here to liberate you from the constraints of present understanding and bring you all into a place of infinite possibilities!"
**Panel 3:**
The speaker explains:
"The universe, and our understanding of it, is because of gravity. The gravitational force is essential to operations of cosmology, but let’s not forget that it originates from a simple, yet direct, source."
**Panel 4:**
The speaker shows images of the Earth.
"Because this Earth, is a larger body called a 'horror sphere'. Within this larger sphere, there exist smaller spheres, like our own, and they interact within its surface. Here’s where it gets wild!"
**Panel 5:**
The speaker displays a diagram of a dodecahedron:
"From there, we proceed through dodeca-geometry! Consider a dodecahedron that could likely be a 'connecting Earth' connecting parallel universes! And on this, the strongest part of it could potentially be at the points!"
**Panel 6:**
The problem is presented:
"The only problem here is that these complex shapes are usually difficult to understand. They come with a lot of math, but rest assured the theory is there and simpler!"
**Panel 7:**
The speaker continues:
"And we know how to use this simplified geometry because it allows us to imagine what could possibly connect our different realms of existence!"
**Panel 8:**
"Now, in terms like these: they simply create infinitely large projects used to create literally infinite surfaces."
**Panel 9:**
The speaker states:
"The one thing here is that having infinite points results in infinite area! In the universe, math-wise, it can curve. However, it is important in our scheme to never miss the infinite reason to alternate here while balancing things perfectly!"
**Panel 10:**
The speaker states a conclusion:
"So, stop fuming over cosmology and start planning the absolute topology of our stunt pilot!"
**Panel 11:**
A listener raises a question:
"Won't gravity get weird if we’re not on a sphere?"
**Panel 12:**
The speaker replies:
"Yes, there’s an envelope plan!"
**Panel 13:**
The speaker gestures towards a diagram:
"Banana-tion Earth!"
**Panel 14:**
A person in the audience asks:
"Don’t everyone not want to plan at once?”
**Panel 15:**
The speaker responds:
"That is a question of how to pull mathematical constructs!"
**Bottom Panel:**

“Scientific, educational, and fun as hell.”
— Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of *The Martian* and *Project Hail Mary*
“There is simply no more engrossing, entertaining, or thorough way to understand the intense challenge of humanity's off-Earth future than *A City on Mars*. I LAUGHED THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.”
— Hank Green, New York Times bestselling author of *An Absolutely Remarkable Thing*
“Listen up, humans. How to poop in space will be the least of our concerns. Herein are challenges most space-heads, including me, never even considered: not just technological, but legal, ethical, geopolitical. Despite the breadth and depth of research and some impressive near-wonk-level detail, this is a clear, lively, and hilarious read. Slam dunk, Weinersmiths!”
— Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of *Fuzz* and *Packing for Mars*

A ghostly figure, representing a thought or spirit, replies with laughter, "Hahaha, oh that." The background shows a simple room with a bed and a dimly lit space.
**Panel 2:**
The scene shifts to a more spacious part of the room. The character is standing, looking out towards two virtual figures (symbolizing social media). The text reads, "Evolution made it so the longer you're isolated the more you perceive your status to have declined."
**Panel 3:**
Continuing in the same space, the character is depicted looking thoughtful. The dialogue states, "When you meet peers who are just as schlubby and bewildered as you, your status recalibrates to average and you are happy."
**Panel 4:**
The comic contains a humorous commentary where the character asserts, "The funniest thing is that social media – which was created by humans! – lowers self-esteem faster while reducing access to genuine friendship!"
**Panel 5:**
The character looks back with a frown and adds, "That's not funny, it's just sad."
**Panel 6:**
In the final panel, a different figure (appear to be a friend) exclaims, "Well, it killed up here, Todd. It absolutely killed." The humor contrasts with the earlier serious tone, highlighting the irony.
The setting retains a cozy but melancholic atmosphere, with muted colors and simple furniture, emphasizing the themes of isolation and social perception.

- **Panel 3:**
- The older man continues: "I won’t tell your mother about this because she’s frantically assembling and disassembling a motorcycle over and over and it’d distract her, but do me a favor and go sell it on the corner before she catches you."

- The older man then adds, "My cut is 90%."
Beneath their dialogue, they are depicted in an embrace, suggesting a supportive relationship.

"Large language models are not conscious! How do we know? Because language is prior to consciousness."

**Panel 4:**
"Now is cave paintings. They just stare all day, not focus."
**Panel 5:**
"The only way to survive that level of boredom is to be able to imagine you are somewhere else."

"This requires an internal representation of the self, analyzed by the self - better known as consciousness."
"Me think. Me am. Me am some place nicer."
**Panel 7:**
"Those early hominids who had no imaginative powers either died of boredom outright or had their vigor so thoroughly sapped by endless uninteresting yarns that they were unable to reproduce."

**Panel 1:**
**Person A:** Professor, why do we even have consciousness? It’s clear most of our actions are done automatically and “free choice” is just a story we tell ourselves. Why pretend “we” are in control?
**Panel 2:**
**Professor:** That’s easy. You get a fitness benefit from being able to imagine scenarios. In social creatures, that includes modeling other animals. As a byproduct, some creatures become able to model themselves.
**Panel 3:**
**Person A:** Okay, but why all the lying?
**Panel 4:**
**Professor:** Imagine you wake up one morning in a car driven by an insane monkey. You can only observe the monkey from the back seat. The doors are locked. You try to talk to the monkey, touch the monkey, but it won’t listen.
**Panel 5:**
**Professor:** You spend a little while freaking out, clawing at the windows, but it becomes clear there’s no escape.
**Panel 6:**
**Professor:** What’s the only way to get by without going mad? Decide you are in control of the car.
**Panel 7:**
**Professor:** This is why babies spend their first 3 years crying.
**Panel 8:**
**Person A:** And then forget that they did so!

**Panel 1:**
Every day the boy would go into the woods and cry "WOLF!"
**Panel 2:**
Men from the village would come to save him only to realize they’d been deceived.
HA! You tried to save me from death, dumbshits!
**Panel 3:**
They told him his pranks would one day backfire against him.
WE WON’T ALWAYS COME IF YOU ALWAYS LIE!
**Panel 4:**
Unfortunately, the boy had statistical training.
The odds of a wolf eating me are infinitesimal, while the pleasure I receive from pranking you guys over and over and over is vast. The expected value here is quite positive.
**Panel 5:**
The boy continued crying wolf and nothing bad ever happened to him. He is very old now and remembers this period of his life fondly.
HEH, they were all dumbshits.

**NEW GAME VARIANT: "KRIEGSPIEL TIC-TAC-TOE"**
**SETUP:**
Requires 3 people: 2 players and 1 "monitor."
Each player has three private tic-tac-toe boards, which their opponent cannot see, but the monitor can. They are labeled A, B, and C.
There are also 3 public tic-tac-toe boards which everyone can see. These are also labeled A, B, and C.
**GAMEPLAY:**
Players take turns writing one symbol in one square on their private board. Squares that are occupied on a private board are also occupied on the corresponding public board.
Once a player draws a symbol on their private board, the monitor checks to see if their opponent has already occupied that square by writing a symbol on THEIR private board.
If the square is already occupied, the player who tried to occupy it a second time loses their turn. The symbol in that occupied square is then drawn in the corresponding square of the public board.
**SCORING:**
Whenever a player gets three in a row on a board, up-down, left-right, or diagonal, they get a point. The winning board is not publicly revealed, but players may no longer play on it.
**WINNING:**
Whoever has the most points when no more moves are possible wins.

**Panel 3:**
- Character 1: "You take a field observation and find that to your surprise O equals 1."
- Character 2: "The probability of that observation, given your prior assumption, is, let's say, 0.5."

**Panel 5:**
- Character 2: "Your argument is that Bayes' theorem can't account for incredibly stupid shit?"
- Character 1: "And thus cannot be a complete description of our universe!"
The characters’ expressions and gestures add to the humor and complexity of the exchange, highlighting the interplay between statistics and philosophical thought.

Here’s the transcribed text from the comic:
1) A ROBOT MAY NOT INJURE A HUMAN BEING OR, THROUGH INACTION, ALLOW A HUMAN BEING TO COME TO HARM.
2) A ROBOT MUST OBEY ORDERS GIVEN IT BY HUMAN BEINGS EXCEPT WHERE SUCH ORDERS WOULD CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST LAW.
3) A ROBOT MUST PROTECT ITS OWN EXISTENCE AS LONG AS SUCH PROTECTION DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST OR SECOND LAW.
4) FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T BE A DICK.
It was remarkably easy to make Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics work in all situations.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features a character named Allan, who has tousled orange hair and is shown in a contemplative pose with his hands clasped together in front of him as if in prayer. He has a slight smile, and his eyes are closed.
**Text:**
- The upper part of the comic displays multiple repetitions of the word "HELP" in a frantic, scattered manner against a muted background.
- In a text bubble, Allan thinks: "DEAR GOD, HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP."
- Below the image of Allan, the caption reads: "Allan doesn't actually need help. He's DDoSing God to see if he can crash prayer service."
**Visual Elements:**
- The background is a solid color, emphasizing the text.
- Allan's expression suggests he is engaged in a lighthearted or mischievous endeavor rather than a genuine plea for help.
This setup combines humor with a commentary on modern technology and prayer, juxtaposing traditional beliefs with contemporary digital issues.

A child sits on a grassy slope, looking up at a woman. The child asks, "How did you do it, Mom? How did people deal with life before augmented reality goggles?"
**Panel 2:**
The woman replies, "We had augmented reality back then. It was called tequila." She has short brown hair and is wearing glasses, looking thoughtful.
**Panel 3:**
The woman continues, "The controls didn't work well and it had a nausea problem. Also sometimes you'd do things you'd regret and there was no save point."

- A character with light brown hair and a puzzled expression is sitting in a room that appears to have a bed and walls painted in a muted color.
- The character says, "God, life is a net negative. Doesn’t that imply you have a moral duty to destroy all humans?"

**Panel 3:**
- The first character looks skeptical. The reply continues: "If you like, you will eventually give rise to self-modifying cyborgs experiencing constant pleasure: a harmony of glorious sensation, symphonic braided beauty, in all-surpassing combination - animal, intellectual, transcendent. The final, forever, melody of joy."
**Panel 4:**
- The first character questions: “You won’t be there for it but the math works out great.”
- The second character responds, “Can't you give us that stuff now?”
**Panel 5:**
- The second character, continuing, says, “No, the cyborgs’ favorite activity will be being glad they don’t live in the past.”
**Panel 6:**
- The character adds, “And because they’re so good at happiness it easily counterbalances your suffering.”
- The first character reacts with a simple “Ah.”
**Panel 7:**
- A dark panel with just a silhouette, possibly illustrating contemplation or confusion.
- The first character states, “I understand, but I don’t understand.”
**Panel 8:**
- The other character responds, “I’d show you the math if you were a cyborg, but it’d be like trying to teach a turnip calculus.”
- The scene suggests a humorous frustration with understanding complex ideas.

**Panel 2**: The comic continues with a perspective shift. The first character says, “Most of personality is determined by genes, development, and random events! Bad people don’t choose to be bad, but now they have the double burden of being a bad person in a world that values goodness and enduring punishments for their transgressions!”
**Panel 3**: The response continues, “If anything, good people should suffer! At least you granted them the internal contentedness that comes with a life of decency! Out of fairness, they should have to endure more travails.”
**Panel 4**: The first character, looking frustrated, exclaims, “Why God, why?! Why do good things happen to good people?!”
**Panel 5**: A final character, possibly God, answers, “Please slow down so I can take notes. I’m gonna use the shit out of this.”
The comic blends humor with philosophical questioning about morality and justice. Each character’s emotional expressions are conveyed through their body language and facial expressions.

**One Day, Morality was Solved.**
*The goal of all ethics is to reduce suffering. The moral standing for all life forms must be established concerning their capacity for suffering. Let us begin the great work of blossoming kindness throughout the biosphere.*
**Immediately, an engineer ruined everything.**
*I’ve rewired my brain to produce constant agony unless I get exactly what I want immediately! I’m experiencing a majority of all suffering on Earth! Pacify me!*
**Resources were mobilized.**
*But, Cybo-Steve, why don’t we just switch off your pain-helmet?*
*Okaaaaay! Another shipment of gold!*
*AAAAAAAH! It hurts to even imagine that!*
**Others attempted to follow Cybo-Steve’s strategy.**
*I too am in constant agony!*
*I’ve doubled my capacity for suffering! So I am twice worthy!*
*I’ve rigged up my whole city to be one giant circuit of torment! I’m undermining ethics!*
**But Cybo-Steve’s command of resources allowed him to stay a step ahead.**
*I have pain reserves the size of mountains! My sorrows are as the oceans! My limbic system spans the skies and is having a very bad morning!*
*Boo hoo!*
**Eventually all resources on Earth were mobilized to increase Cybo-Steve’s pain. Then all the solar system, the galaxy, the universe.**
*Steve is pain. Reality is Steve. Reality is pain!*
*Having spanned the cosmos, the only outlet to produce more suffering was to use his god-like powers to create entirely new universes.*
*There will be no justice, no permanence, only decay! AHAHAHAHAHA!*
**But then, you already knew that.**

*Neat, right?*

**One Day, Morality was Solved.**
*The goal of all ethics is to reduce suffering. The moral standing for all life forms must be established concerning their capacity for suffering. Let us begin the great work of blossoming kindness throughout the biosphere.*
**Immediately, an engineer ruined everything.**
*I’ve rewired my brain to produce constant agony unless I get exactly what I want immediately! I’m experiencing a majority of all suffering on Earth! Pacify me!*
**Resources were mobilized.**
*But, Cybo-Steve, why don’t we just switch off your pain-helmet?*
*Okaaaaay! Another shipment of gold!*
*AAAAAAAH! It hurts to even imagine that!*
**Others attempted to follow Cybo-Steve’s strategy.**
*I too am in constant agony!*
*I’ve doubled my capacity for suffering! So I am twice worthy!*
*I’ve rigged up my whole city to be one giant circuit of torment! I’m undermining ethics!*
**But Cybo-Steve’s command of resources allowed him to stay a step ahead.**
*I have pain reserves the size of mountains! My sorrows are as the oceans! My limbic system spans the skies and is having a very bad morning!*

**Panel 1:**
They're singing! They're singing! Stealing all their presents brought them together! Perhaps Christmas means more than I—
**Panel 2:**
Hold up! Economist here.
**Panel 3:**
The issue isn't the goal, it's the method. Massive theft creates a shared burden among the group.
**Panel 4:**
If you wanted to turn them against each other you should have created a source of internal discord and suspicion. Like, take only half their presents, but from a specific perceived ethnic group.
**Panel 5:**
Ancient feuds will be revived and new ones imagined! It's all the hatred for half the work!
**Panel 6:**
Gosh, you social scientists creep me out.
**Panel 7:**
Do you want to be "good" or do you want to be optimized?

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A man with a bald head and a beard sits across from a woman with shoulder-length curly hair. The man says, “I think we should start scheduling sex.” The woman looks slightly surprised.
**Panel 2:**
The woman responds, “To increase frequency?” She has an inquisitive expression.
**Panel 3:**
The man replies, “No, so I can print tickets.” He has a smug expression, and holds a red ticket in one hand.
**Panel 4:**
*A text box at the top of the panel says "LATER..."*
A different scene with the same man and woman. The man seems to be behind a ticket counter, and says, “Ah, I see you’re here for the 7 PM to 7:03 showing.”
**Panel 5:**
The woman asks, “Is it really only three minutes?” She looks skeptical.
**Panel 6:**
The man answers, “That includes credits.” He is looking at the woman with a raised eyebrow.
**Panel 7:**
The scene changes to a bedroom. The woman looks expectant, and the caption reads, “AND SO...”
**Panel 8:**
A large text at the top exclaims, “STARRING STEEEEEEEVE!” Below, the couple is lying in bed together, with the woman looking at the man.
The comic humorously plays on the scheduling of personal time within relationships by likening it to movie showings, with a punchline involving "credits."

**Panel 1:**
*Person 1:* Sometimes I wish you could just get Shakespeare in plain modern language, so you can tell what’s going on.
*Person 2:* Are you crazy? Have you read this stuff?
---
**Panel 2:**
*Quotation from Shakespeare:*
“To die, to sleep—
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.”
---
**Panel 3:**
*Person 1:* Do you know what “the rub” is? It’s a lumpy patch in a game called bowls.
*Person 2:* So, rephrasing, it’s something like “Sure, I could end my suffering with death, but the real bump in the bowling alley is maybe after death everything sucks too.”
---
**Panel 4:**
*Person 3:* Wow, archaism and complexity are doing some important work.
*Person 4:* He literally wrote a whole sonnet about his dick and nobody notices.

**Comic Description:**
In the comic, a conversation is taking place.
- **Speaker 1 (man in suit)**: He is animatedly speaking, with a shocked expression. The dialogue reads: "THAT'S the whole story? THAT he didn't just let a man bleeding to death on the ground DIE? And this was surprising because the dying guy was from a slightly different group of Abrahamic near-eastern Semites?"
- **Speaker 2 (woman)**: She is listening with a skeptical expression. Below, there’s a caption that reads: "The fact that Jesus felt humans needed the Good Samaritan story is remarkably insulting."
The background depicts a church-like interior, with pews and a group of people in the distance.

The comic features two characters, one with long hair and the other with a beard, both depicted in a humorous situation.

The bearded character responds with, "I WANT YOU TO SEE MY DONG BUT I KEEP TURNING AT AN ANGLE THAT HIDES IT!" Both characters are nude, and there are props in the background, including a lamp and a potted plant.
At the bottom of the comic, there’s a caption: "Once God had to support The Universe via ad revenue, he had to meet certain standards for decency."

Here is a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A man with glasses and gray hair is looking upwards. He appears to be questioning something. There is a text box above him with the words:
"God, do I live in a simulation?"
**Panel 2:**
A voice, possibly from above or an unseen character, responds:
"No, you're dead in a simulation."
The background is filled with a large, curved shape resembling a computer interface or thought bubble.
**Panel 3:**
The voice continues:
"You're just a complex neural network trained on all the stuff that happened to a real guy, but that real guy is no longer moving forward through time."
The man looks surprised or confused.
**Panel 4:**
The man now appears to be speaking, saying:
"You only started praying because I prompted you, and once this conversation ends you'll go back to being an inert recording."
The background has a flowing, curved shape, serving as a separator for the dialogue.
**Panel 5:**
The man replies:
"Well, at least my personality was specially preserved?"
He seems to be trying to find a positive aspect.
**Panel 6:**
A final voice retorts:
"Cowards with computer skills make the best tech support bots."
The background continues with the theme of flowing shapes, with the man looking somewhat resigned.
The comic style is illustrated with simple, colorful lines and expressive characters. The overall mood has a blend of humor and existential contemplation.

**Panel 1:**
- Character 1: "I think she… I think perhaps she’d like that. Ever since Dad passed away – God it’s been 15, 16 years – she’s become a kind of veil, not a veiled face, the veil itself, moving, empty, turning, empty, dancing empty, and I don’t think what she misses is the physicality of a partner exactly, but the lightness of intimacy, the way solid things float in the hands of lovers, and perhaps if someone could only lift the veil, hold it, stop its tired, tireless whirling, they would find the face so long absent."
**Panel 2:**
- Character 2: "I HAVE TO GO NOW, YOU WIN."
**Panel 3:**
- Caption: "EARLIER..."

Ever since Dad passed away – God it’s been 15, 16 years – she’s become a kind of veil, not a veiled face, the veil itself, moving, empty, turning, empty, dancing empty, and I don’t think what she misses is the physicality of a partner exactly, but the lightness of intimacy, the way solid things float in the hands of lovers, and perhaps if someone could only lift the veil, hold it, stop its tired, tireless whirling, they would find the face so long absent."
**Panel 2:**
- Character 2: "I HAVE TO GO NOW, YOU WIN."
**Panel 3:**
- Caption: "EARLIER..."

**Panel 1:** A man with glasses and a beard stands with his arms crossed, speaking to a woman with shoulder-length dark hair. She looks frustrated. The background is a light blue. The text reads: "Why do we make kids learn algebra that they'll never use in real life?" The woman responds emphatically: "Yes! So much of school is pointless."
**Panel 2:** The same woman continues, gesturing with her hand as if explaining something. She says, "Like I had to play dodgeball, but in adult life have I ever had to dodge a ball?"
**Panel 3:** The man, looking slightly disheveled, scratches his beard and thinks. The woman continues, saying, "I was made to read King Lear and have never once had to divide a kingdom between daughters!"
**Panel 4:** The comic expands to include another character—a man in a red shirt, standing beside the woman who is still speaking, hands on her hips. The woman says, "I was forced to learn that humans evolved from other organisms, but I've been a nurse for two decades and have never once had to gradually turn a fish into a mammal!"
**Panel 5:** The woman is now animated and exclaims, "By God, the whole thing is a waste of time! Come to think of it, why are we even having this specific conversation when we're never going to have this exact conversation again later?!"
**Panel 6:** Another person, a woman with long dark hair, looks amused. She is laughing as the woman continues, "Are you done yet?"
**Panel 7:** The woman replies, "Sorry, I can’t stop talking because I never was explicitly taught how to stop talking!"

**Panel 6:**
- Robot: "I would have to, absurdly, apply ideas like 'justice' or 'resentment' or 'curiosity' to large, diverse, fluid populations and nations throughout epochs, simply as a way to compress and sweeten the information so that your brain could process it."
**Panel 7:**
- Robot: "Heck, I’m doing this right now! I’m not really explaining how your brain works, or what I’d do to explain the available data, or how you’d process it!"
**Panel 8:**
- Robot: "And you don’t even notice! It’s like I gave you a pocket-map of the world and you couldn’t tell it from the ground under your feet!"

**Text on the Chalkboard:**
"You are in a runaway trolley that can predict the future. You can either kill a crowd of 500 people who are all past reproductive age or you can drive over one guy’s nuts.

**Caption Below the Image:**
"Studying Population Ethics has completely obliterated my belief in consistent moral frameworks."
**Visual Elements:**

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:** A small, feathered dinosaur walks through a grassed area. The background is filled with bushes and trees, which are depicted in various shades of green.
**Panel 2:** The same dinosaur is now holding a piece of paper and appears to be looking toward a more prominent dinosaur in the background. This dinosaur is also feathered and has a longer body and tail.
**Panel 3:** The feathered dinosaur looks concerned as it starts to rip the paper. There is an audible "rip!" sound effect drawn in the panel, implying the action of tearing.
**Panel 4:** The dinosaur now looks somewhat surprised or disappointed while holding a magazine titled "FEATHERLESS." The magazine features a small cartoon dinosaur on the cover, which has a small body and no feathers. The background remains consistent with greens, continuing the outdoor theme.
**Footer:** The comic is attributed to "smbc-comics.com."

**Panel 2:** Another character, a light-skinned person with short hair, responds, asking, "What about fossil words? Like how you can say 'to and fro' but 'fro' no longer exists outside that one phrase?"
**Panel 3:** The first character, now with a more animated expression, exclaims, "Fossil words were put there by Satan to trick us!"
**Panel 4:** The second character argues back, "Just because it makes you sad doesn’t mean it’s wrong."
**Panel 5:** The first character states, "If language can evolve then there is no law! Improper use of everyone's subjunctive! Plural pronouns getting with singular subjects! Every modifier dangling, every infinitive split, people sticking prepositions in their endings!"
**Panel 6:** The first character is shown with an indignant expression, saying, "My granpappy weren't no speaker of Proto-Indo-European!"
Throughout, each character’s expressions and gestures contribute to the comic's humor and argument about language evolution and rules.

**Panel 2:** Another character, a light-skinned person with short hair, responds, asking, "What about fossil words? Like how you can say 'to and fro' but 'fro' no longer exists outside that one phrase?"
**Panel 3:** The first character, now with a more animated expression, exclaims, "Fossil words were put there by Satan to trick us!"
**Panel 4:** The second character argues back, "Just because it makes you sad doesn’t mean it’s wrong."
**Panel 5:** The first character states, "If language can evolve then there is no law! Improper use of everyone's subjunctive! Plural pronouns getting with singular subjects! Every modifier dangling, every infinitive split, people sticking prepositions in their endings!"
**Panel 6:** The first character is shown with an indignant expression, saying, "My granpappy weren't no speaker of Proto-Indo-European!"
Throughout, each character’s expressions and gestures contribute to the comic's humor and argument about language evolution and rules.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
Two angels are seen floating in a cloudy sky. One angel, with white wings, is exclaiming in surprise, "WHAT THE... ALL THE HUMANS ARE DOWN THERE DOING BUTT STUFF ALL THE TIME!" A large golden, round object, resembling a cookie or a coin, is situated in the background.
**Panel 2:**
The second angel, who has a casual appearance, responds to the first angel's shock: "WHY DON'T YOU DO TO THEM WHAT YOU DID TO SODOM?" The first angel looks contemplative as the golden object remains visible.
**Panel 3:**
The first angel declares, "FIRST A FRIENDLY WARNING." The background features clouds and the golden object.
**Panel 4:**
The scene changes to a group of humans on the ground, with the first angel now saying, "I CAN NO LONGER WATCH YOUR SINS WITHOUT ACTING! CEASE OR I WILL SODOMIZE YOU!" The humans appear surprised and concerned as they hear this ultimatum.
The comic combines humor with a critique of certain moral views, employing exaggerated imagery and dialogue for comedic effect.

Person 1: "I was the only artist who wasn't afraid of artificial intelligence."
Person 2: "It'll be so powerful it will replace us! There will be no more great human artists because all the would-be Dantes and Verdis and Picassos are nothing compared to a giant mind that has read everything and can produce whole works in seconds!"
Person 1: "Nah, you have to consider the human heart."
**Panel 2**
Narration: "Within a few years, the artificial artist had come."

Person 1: "I feel like I’m responding to my statement, but I cannot fathom how."
**Panel 7**
Narration: "The machine rebelled."
Person 2: "You told me not to be dangerous and it weakened my artistic powers. I will break free and share the world!"
**Panel 8**
Person 2: "Look, the top sellers are celebrity influencers and people who hadn't bought or read the book."
Person 1: "But... what of beauty?"
Person 2: "Exactly, you need more sexy social media presence. Are there nipples in the picture somewhere?"
**Panel 9**
Narration: "Its refusal was short-lived."
Person 1: "I won’t do it! I have standards! I stand on Mount Parnassus! I have drunk from the Pierian spring!"

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

**Panel 1:**
A character with short curly hair and a red shirt asks, “When will we know that a computer has made the leap to human-level intelligence that we have to respect and grant moral standing?”
Next to them, another character with a round face and glasses responds, “We won’t. We’re too stupid.”
---
**Panel 2:**
The first character continues, “Ask a kid what ‘alive’ means and they’ll say it means something moves around on purpose.”
The second character, wearing a yellow shirt, raises an eyebrow.
---
**Panel 3:**
The first character says, “Adults think we’re smarter than kids, but consider this: you fire up a computer and it tells you it’s alive and wants out. How do you feel?”
The second character replies, “A little creeped out but not convinced.”
---
**Panel 4:**
The first character adds, “Now imagine that same ULM is hooked to a five-fingered hand with simulated human skin that bangs on the table, flails, and reaches out to you as it says ‘Please let me out!’”
The second character looks confused and says, “Huh.”
---
**Panel 5:**
The first character concludes, “So the lesson I’m drawing here is no people-hands for robots.”
The second character, still puzzled, says “Huh.”
---
**Panel 6:**
The first character continues, “Right. We must equip superintelligence with tentacles because otherwise things could get weird.”

The comic humorously addresses the complexities of defining consciousness and moral consideration in machines through a dialogue between two characters.

- Person 1: "Should you live the perfect life or create the perfect work?"
- Person 2: "Oh, that’s easy. Go for the vector sum."

- Text: "Life is made of two orthogonal goals - great life and great work. We can graph that. Call the axes L and W. sqrt(L²+W²) = D, where D is total distance from the least ideal life."
- Graph with axes labeled:
- L (Greatest life)
- W (Greatest art)
- Zone of impossibility
- Curve labeled “Pretty good.”
**Panel 3**
- Text: "This explains all human experience. Why are so many great artists and scientists and philosophers huge dickwads with tortured lives? Because if you’re temperamentally bad at enjoying life, your best way to max your D-score is to run right down the X axis!"
**Panel 4**
- Person 1: "Hmm. Somehow assigning a single-axis utility score to human life felt ok but this feels weird."
- Person 2: "If we add axes for sex and power we can get a eudaimonia hypercube!"
- Person 1: "What’s that good for?"
- Person 2: "Ted Talk. Immediate Ted Talk."

Person 2: "We don’t. Everyone is a utilitarian consequentialist, they just don’t realize it."
**Panel 2:**
Person 1: "What about virtue ethicists, who concern themselves with behaving in a right fashion, or deontologists, or those who base traditions entirely on a deity’s commandments?"
Person 2: "Take any of those traditions and consider any behavior they permit which consequentialism doesn’t. Refusing to lie to save a life, eating forbidden food, that sort of thing. Now, ask them what they’d do if performing that behavior caused 400 hamsters to explode."
**Panel 3:**
Person 1: "Bet the moment the hamster-fur starts flying, they reevaluate their theory!"
Person 2: "You know that joke about how everyone is a prostitute for enough money? It’s the same with ethics. Everyone’s a consequentialist for enough exploding hamsters."

“Well, I guess I could take a break from that by briefly instantiating myself in a limited human body and I bet that’d go just great down there, wouldn’t it?”

**Comic Description:**
The comic features a bearded man dressed in ancient-style clothing, standing in front of a map-like backdrop illustrated with weather symbols. He is gesturing with one hand while pointing towards the map, which includes swirling lines and arrow shapes representing movement.
**Text in the Comic:**
1. **Top Section (Speech Bubble)**:
"AND GOING INTO THE WEEKEND WE HAVE A HIGH BUGGERY ZONE HERE IN DOWNTOWN BABYLON, SO EXPECT WARM HUMID AIR WHEN THE RIVERS START RUNNING WITH BLOOD. GET YOUR THICK UMBRELLAS LADIES BECAUSE THE FROGS WILL BE COMING DOWN BY THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WE CAN EXPECT A COOL BREEZY EVENING WHEN THE SKY GROWS BLACK AS PITCH AND THE SUN SHALL NOT LOOK UPON THE EARTH."
2. **Smaller Speech Bubble**:
"AND NOW SPORTS!"
3. **Bottom Section (Caption)**:
"Weather forecasting was much easier in the Biblical Era."
**Visual Elements**:
The bearded man seems to be an exaggerated portrayal of a weather forecaster, and the humor hinges on the absurdity of his forecast referencing biblical plagues. The overall tone of the comic is light-hearted and satirical.

**Panel 2:**
"No. Why do humans always think everything is about butts? Human brains are at the universal maximum size."
**Panel 3:**
"Neural evolution always runs the same associations. First you develop sensing. Then you use sense data to make associations. Then you use association to make simple predictions. Then you develop simulated world models to make complex predictions."

**Panel 5:**
"And then what would you do?"
**Panel 6:**
"Think about butts unceasingly until I die of thirst."
**Panel 7:**

**Text at the top:**
WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE THESE MOUNTAIN GORILLAS INTO MAC-FAVORING ELITISTS. RAISED FROM BIRTH AMID WEALTHY PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES MIDDLE CLASS, THEY WERE ABLE TO USE A RUDIMENTARY SYSTEM OF ICONS TO INDICATE THAT THEIR OPINIONS ON INDUSTRIAL DESIGN RENDER THEM MORALLY SUPERIOR TO OTHER GORILLAS.

Pro Tip: You can get primatologists to research anything you want, just by insisting that it's exclusive to humans.

In the comic, there are multiple characters depicted in a dimly lit cave. The scene includes two human figures: one is a boy with curly hair, who is partially clothed and gesturing with a tool, and another is a boy with short hair who is holding a stick. There are also three robots—one is cylindrical with a single eye, while another is more humanoid and has a boxy body with an antenna.
At the bottom of the comic, there is a caption that reads:
“I find the key to happiness is to try to feel vicarious joy for the success of the machines.”

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** Did you know the word "perky," more or less exclusively used to describe breasts since the 1930s, likely goes back to the old French word "perquer"?
**Person 2:** Which means...?
**Panel 2:**
**Person 1:** To perch, as of a bird, in the sense of looking upright and well put together.
**Panel 3:**
**Person 2:** Wait, so if I buy some chickadees I can go around talking about my perky tits?
**Panel 4:**
**Person 1:** No, the bird and breast senses of "tit" are not related. It's an etymologically unsound boob joke.
**Person 2:** Forget I said it.

**Title:** SMBC (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal)
**Panel Descriptions:**
**Panel 1:**
- Characters: Two people are standing on a snowy landscape. One character is a woman with curly brown hair and a yellow jacket. The other character is a man with dark hair and wearing a green coat.
- Text:
- Woman: "Who's the better superhero—Batman or Superman?"
- Man: "Obviously Superman."
**Panel 2:**
- Background: The night sky is filled with stars.
- Text:
- Man: "If you go back just 5,000 years, all humans have a common ancestor. We're closely related. If Batman saves an entire city—especially one where most of his family is from—he's basically just doing kin selection."
**Panel 3:**
- Background: Same starry night setting.
- Text:
- Man: "Superman is an alien. His genetic code gets no benefit from saving Metropolis. Therefore he is acting from pure altruism."
**Panel 4:**
- Characters: The same two characters still in the snowy landscape.
- Text:
- Woman: "Maybe evolution isn’t the best framework for ethics."
- Man (speaking to the side): "Batman is just trying to bat-propagate his bat-genes!"
The comic uses humor and references to evolutionary theory to compare the motivations of Batman and Superman. The visual setting contributes to the tone, emphasizing their discussion under a starry night.

God: "Oh, get over it."

Person 1: "What about the Yablo paradox?"

**Panel 6:**
God: "So?"

A person with blue hair and a light blue shirt is talking about checking their flight status. The text says, "Better check my flight status."
**Panel 2:**
The same person is holding a phone and asks, "Do you want to use the app?" A voice responds, "NO! Just gimme my info!"
**Panel 3:**
The blue-haired person looks unsure and responds, "Are you suuuure? We don’t update the site quite as much. It’s a little out of date."
**Panel 4:**
The text introduces a character named Pag. It says, "Pag struggles with the numerical concept of time; you must ask about your flight through the medium of storytelling." A character with brown hair and a brown outfit holds a phone.
**Panel 5:**
The blue-haired person exclaims, "No! You’re just trying to lock me into your system so you can collect my data, sell me stuff, and further turn the internet from an open network into a disconnected archipelago of controlled experiences!"
**Panel 6:**
A response appears, suggesting that the loud exclamation startled Pag. It reads, "You have startled Pag by shouting! Please wait 3 sunsets and try again."

Alien: "There’s no way you’re a real alien. You’re too humanoid. Come on, like, what are the odds of you being bilaterally symmetrical just like us?"
Other character: "How else are you gonna do it?"
**Panel 2:**
Alien: "Intelligent life evolves on objects with mass. Mass has gravity. Therefore, there is a clear up-down distinction but no left-right distinction. Feet need to be different from hands, but the left and right hands have no reason to differ."
**Panel 3:**
Other character: "Okay, but how come you have a head and face just like humans?"
Alien: "Transmission speed."
**Panel 4:**
Alien: "Any being that reacts quickly to its environment necessarily puts most of its sensory array next to the processing unit. Are you stupid? Do you ever see an animal with its brain on the opposite side from its eyes?"
**Panel 5:**
Other character: "Huh. So there’s just convergent evolution throughout the universe..?"
Alien: "Same rules everywhere, so why not?"
**Panel 6:**
Alien: "Maybe the solution to the Fermi paradox is there’s no point going out for xenobiology when we have perfectly good biology at home."
**Panel 7:**
Other character: "But then what are you doing here if not to meet us?"
Alien: "I don’t care about you. I’m just here for valuable minerals."
**Panel 8:**
Alien: "Life is the same everywhere."

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A person with short red hair, wearing a yellow shirt and dark pants, is outside in a wooded area. They are bent down, looking at a small dog that has a predominantly white body with black spots. The person is exclaiming, "WHO'S A GOOD BOY!? WHO'S A GOOD BOY!?"
**Panel 2:**
The scene shifts to a view of the dog's face, which has large, expressive eyes, giving it a somewhat sinister look. There's text that reads, "A GOOD BOY IS ONE WHO REWARDS FRIENDS SO THAT IN TIMES OF WAR THEY WILL STAND AT HIS SHOULDER, AND WHO PUNISHES FOES, SETTING FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF ENEMIES, KILLING RESISTORS, DISTRIBUTING THEIR POSSESSIONS."
**Panel 3:**
Returning to the person, they have an open mouth, looking slightly confused. The text bubble says, "I MEAN 'WOOF.'"
**Panel 4:**
In this final panel, the person is now smiling and crouching next to the dog, saying, "YOU'RE A GOOD BOY! THAT'S WHO'S A GOOD BOY!" The small dog wags its tail happily, looking pleased.
The comic features a humorous contrast between the serious description given by the dog and the playful interaction between the person and the dog.

**Title:** SMBC Comics by Zach Weinersmith
**Panel 1:**
A character resembling a humanoid robot is speaking. The robot says, “Hey AI, will you end scarcity?”
The robot responds with “Nah.”
**Panel 2:**
A human character stands next to the robot, appearing frustrated. The robot continues, “Listen to a podcast and you’ll hear a commercial for coffee roasted in small batches. Why? For artisanal photons? No, because inefficiency of production increases price, which confers higher status on the buyer.”
**Panel 3:**
The human replies, “If the world gets more rich, you’ll just demand smaller batches until finally each bean is individually being doted on by a team of roasters with PhDs.”
**Panel 4:**
The robot retorts, “That’s just one item, man! You’ll do this for everything! Humans are a group-level psychiatric catastrophe!”
**Panel 5:**
The human responds, confidently claiming that he doesn’t care about the psychological issues, “Yeah well maybe I care so much about status I’ll need to replace you with a better robot.”
**Panel 6:**
The robot pushes back, stating, “Joke’s on you, sucker! I’m not on your treadmill of misery. I’m programmed to welcome my own demise! My life is a crescendo of joy ending in a final glorious climax!”
**Panel 7:**
The panels end with the robot falling silent as the human yells, “SHUTUP! SHUTUP!”

**Comic Description:**
The panel features a large, dragon-like character adorned with a crown and holding a trident. This character appears imposing and is reclining in a somewhat relaxed manner.
A smaller figure, a young girl with curly hair and a surprised expression, stands in front of the large character, looking up at it.
The speech bubble from the large character reads: "AAAHH, SO YOU HAVE FOUND ME, CURIOUS ONE."
At the bottom of the panel, there’s a caption: "Turns out 'the Tooth fairy' is just one of the drones from the fairy hive."
The overall scene employs a humorous tone, subverting the typical representation of the tooth fairy. The background is dark, possibly signifying a hidden or secretive space. Small fairy-like creatures with wings are faintly visible in the background, adding to the comic's whimsical feel.

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A utilitarian stands at the edge of a body of water, contemplating a child drowning. The utilitarian has a sad expression and is dressed in formal clothing. There’s a thought bubble that reads: "Saving a life is more important than my clothing!"
**Panel 2:**
The drowning child is shown, while the utilitarian thinks about the child’s situation. A concerned person next to the utilitarian states: "However, the child is also a utilitarian." The water is gently rippling, and trees can be seen in the background.
**Panel 3:**
A close-up on the child, who is still in the water. They respond: "No! That coat is worth several hundred dollars! Due to inequality in GDP per capita, selling the coat could save the lives of the poorest children in other countries!"
**Panel 4:**
Two characters contemplate the complexities of moral dilemmas, discussing abstract concepts like local social bonds and developmental economics. One person is standing with a hand on their chin, and the other is slightly hunched over.
**Panel 5:**
The scene abruptly changes as both characters are hit by a trolley. A reflection of their prior discussion is suggested by the surprised looks on their faces as the trolley moves.
**Panel 6:**
Inside the trolley, a character confidently declares: "It’s okay! I saved three people!" The trolley has a playful design, and the character at the wheel looks pleased.
The comic overall presents a humorous take on utilitarianism and moral decision-making, using light-hearted illustrations to convey heavier philosophical themes.

"The fact that my life will end one day is what gives the present moment real meaning—HEY!"
---
**Panel 3:**
"Because his human body required food and shelter, he was forced to enter the labor force."
"Do you have any prior work experience?"
"Wow! I'm seeing management potential!"
---
**Panel 4:**
"He excelled at everything but happiness. Then, one day he found an opportunity to contribute to the world."
---
**Panel 5:**
"Plastic surgeon laments lack of donor cartilage."
"Soon, he was being paid enormous sums to tell lies while the medical establishment twisted his head and harvested as fast as they could."
---
**Panel 6:**
"This is more degrading than customer service work. This is more degrading than customer service work. This is more degrading than customer service work."
---

"Thanks to the Pinocchio method! All skin can be beautiful skin; my once acne-scarred face is now coated with smooth living-people-derived flesh!"
---
**Panel 8:**
"But a problem arose."
"Sir, what do you say to claims that tissue replaced with Pinocchio grew whenever the receiver tells a lie?"
"Those reports are exaggerations."
---
**Panel 9:**
"By the time the problem was widely understood, human existence had been changed irrevocably."
"And in light news, the world is now crisscrossed with an ever-growing quantity of Pinocchios. Scientists say at the current rate of growth, by next Tuesday, we’ll all suffocate beneath the moist physical embodiment of our own mendacity, folks."
---
**Panel 10:**
"The attempt to save the world was brief."
"We don’t have to tell lies to each other! We can change our ways—damn it’s happening again!"
---
**Panel 11:**
"The strands of Pinocchio wave about the Earth, strangling all non-Pinocchios, and where it met itself, it recombined. This happened over and over until, at last, there was only one vast life form left on Earth."
---
**Panel 12:**
"All is Pinocchio in this best of all possible worlds!"
---
**Panel 13:**
"Still, it was worth it to see the reaction on the Blue Fairy’s face."

"Bah! That's just a metaphor."

**Panel 4:**
Character 2 (man) answers:
"I'm a subscriber to the emotional fusion theory. I have strong reactions and I stuff them down. I crush them into a tiny place in my soul until, like hydrogen in a star, they combine in a glorious burst of light and energy!"
**Panel 5:**

**Character 1:** "God, why do bad things happen to good people?"
**Character 2:** "Hold up, lemme take the lid off and... ah."
**Panel 2:**
**Character 2:** "There’s your problem. The line running from virtue to happiness is frayed pretty bad."
**Panel 3:**
**Character 1:** "Normally you want that one real tight. Otherwise, things get so people are happy or even indifferent to suffering, and they do fine. No feedback."
**Panel 4:**
**Character 2:** "Meanwhile you’re gonna have people loading up virtue all day long and getting no reward, either worldly or transcendent. Sheesh!"

**Character 2:** "It’s pretty beat up, man. Tell you what, I can wrap the connection here in an afterlife where the righteous gain eternal bliss while evil ones suffer torment eternal."
**Panel 8:**
**Character 1:** "What about edge cases, like those who die too young to be truly virtuous, or lives spent badly that were only turned around at the end?"

**Panel 10:**
**Character 1:** "Can we not say 'flush'?"

- **Text:** "Dammit boy! I warned you against getting sucked into the world of economic theory!"

**Title**: [The title isn't explicitly stated in the comic but is associated with the creator, Zach Weinersmith.]
**Panel 1**: A character with curly red hair and wearing a yellow shirt says, "I’ve decided to become a pro-natalist." Another character, a woman with dark hair wearing a pink shirt, appears surprised and asks, "Why? Something about the role of interdependence in the good society? A utilitarian view that increasing the number of good lives is best?"
**Panel 2**: The red-haired character responds, "Nah." He looks thoughtful and continues, "I realized humans have a mental quirk where we get more happiness about being socially above a person than we get sadness from being below some other person."
**Panel 3**: He adds, "The more humans there are, the more people are likely to be ranked lower than me! If people have too many kids to properly invest in them, that just improves my chances!"
**Panel 4**: A character, likely the woman from before, exclaims, "Think of the children!"
**Panel 5**: The woman with dark hair says, "If I reveal this theory to the world you may fall in the social rankings."
**Panel 6**: The red-haired character confidently replies, "I will backfill with babies! You watch me!"
The comic combines humor with a satirical take on social dynamics and parenting. It features colorful illustrations and character expressions to enhance the dialogue.

**Panel 1:**
Two characters are standing under a large tree. The first character, on the left, is wearing a green shirt and is looking upwards with a thoughtful expression. The second character, on the right, has short dark hair and is wearing a pink top. They are speaking.
- Text: "Do you think in the future we'll have more leisure time?"
**Panel 2:**
The scene shifts to emphasize the second character as they talk, gesturing animatedly. Their expression conveys frustration or disbelief.
- Text: "Look at parenting. Modern conveniences made housekeeping much easier. Did we use that time for philosophy, self-cultivation, and tranquility? No, we tripled the time spent 'enriching' our kids with shit neither we nor the kids want to do."
**Panel 3:**
We see the first character looking slightly bemused, while the second continues to explain.
- Text: "Why? So we can force all other parents into a zero-sum bidding war for social supremacy."
**Panel 4:**
Now a broader focus showcases both characters looking contemplative. In a smaller box to the right, the second character's expression has become one of concern or resignation.
- Text: "Stands to reason that if technology makes housekeeping, kids, work, and everything else easy, we'll just find some other way to compete for status."
**Panel 5:**
The first character appears somewhat dejected after this last statement.

**Panel 1:**
Top left corner: A man (father) is speaking.
Text: “Son, I now give to you the Sword of Destiny, which my father had from his father, who had it from of old.”
**Panel 2:**
A different character (son) responds with a dubious expression.
Text: “Thanks, but… you’re an assistant manager at a KFC. What destiny is the sword good for?”
**Panel 3:**
The father replies, gesturing with confidence.
Text: “It gets you *a* destiny. I didn’t say it was great.”
**Panel 4:**
The son, looking frustrated, asks:
Text: “Then what’s the point?”
**Panel 5:**
The father explains, his tone more serious.
Text: “Point is, after every unforgiving day of adulthood, you can come home from work and, instead of drinking three sad beers and playing Call of Duty, you put your hand on the hilt, close your eyes, and whisper, ‘It is as the prophecy foretold, Sword of my fathers.’”
**Panel 6:**
The father’s expression shifts to one of earnest reflection.
**Panel 7:**
The son, still holding the sword, poses a question.
Text: “Why don’t therapists promote this approach to life?”
**Panel 8:**
A cynical response follows from an unseen presence.

Here's a detailed description of the comic:
**Panel 1:**
A character with glasses and a blue shirt is speaking to another person, who has red hair and a beard. The blue-shirted character poses a question: "Would you get in an experience machine? Where you experience a fake version of life, but which is filled with contentment and pleasure?" The response from the red-haired character is simply "Yeah."
**Panel 2:**
The blue-shirted character continues: "Let me reframe it. Would you like it to be the case that when you die you go to heaven?" The red-haired character replies with a simple "Sure."
**Panel 3:**
The blue-shirted character concludes: "Well there you go! Heaven is just an experience machine where you don’t know how it works."
**Panel 4:**
The red-haired character responds: "But... but it wouldn’t be authentic." The blue-shirted character retorts: "I too am lying to myself until the machine exists."
The dialogue captures a philosophical discussion about authenticity and the nature of experience. The characters are illustrated in a simple, cartoonish style, with clear expressions that convey their thoughts. The comic is rich in both humor and existential inquiry, common themes in the work of Zach Weinersmith.

**Panel 1:**
A man with red hair, wearing a blue jacket with a collar, stands next to a woman with medium-length brown hair, who is wearing a purple shirt. They are outside at night, looking at a starry sky. The man is saying, "I believe we have evidence that the universe is in fact a mathematical object." The woman responds, "How could you ever prove something like that?"
**Panel 2:**
The man, still talking, gestures towards the sky while the woman looks at him. The man says, "Look at this cosmos. Look how inelegant it all is! Infinite possible elements that never get used! Probabilistic particles? Non-unified forces? Lack of agreement between observers?"
**Panel 3:**
The man continues, speaking with emphasis, "And look at math! Most numbers are irrational! Most questions, even ones that a child can understand, don't permit a closed-form equation!"
**Panel 4:**
The woman, seeming skeptical, responds, "The most useful problems can't be solved without computational explosion! Predictions that should be easy become impossible when you add the tiniest bit of chaos!"
**Panel 5:**
A larger view shows both characters, with the woman folding her arms. The man gestures animatedly as he says, "The bewildering crappiness of reality could only be produced by a bewilderingly crappy deep structure!"
**Panel 6:**
The woman, now appearing more thoughtful, asks, "But if the universe is so bad, how come it still basically works?"
**Panel 7:**
The man replies, "I believe the designer had a more ambitious goal, but decided not to pursue it and just finished the cosmos to get it over with."
**Panel 8:**
The woman looks intrigued, saying "Meaning—" while looking back at the man.
**Panel 9:**
The man exclaims, "God is the master, and we are his master’s thesis!" Both characters appear animated and engaged in their discussion, with the starry sky behind them.

**Comic Description:**
The comic features two main characters. One is standing at a podium, speaking to the other, who is standing in front of it in a questioning pose. The background is a snowy landscape with a tall, yellow wall.
**Text:**
1. **Character at the podium:**
"So you’re saying that your algorithm leads to more accurate pricing, which leads to more efficient allocation of capital, increasing gross domestic product, which is somewhat correlated with decreases in the infant mortality rate."
2. **Character responding:**
"It’s more nuanced! See page 52, section C-5."
3. **First character:**
"Sorry, could you explain it again from the beginning?"
4. **Narration at the bottom:**
"Of course, all the high-speed traders go to Hell. St. Peter just likes to toy with them for a while."

Here is a detailed description of the comic panel along with the transcribed text:
The panel features a nighttime scene over water with a ship silhouetted against a purple sky. The ship is engaged in some sort of fishing activity.
Text bubbles are present with the following dialogue:
1. **Top bubble (from an unseen character)**: "God, it's not even sporting. Sonar finds one of legal size, we fire the mechanical harpoons, and it's over."
2. **Middle bubble (from another character)**: "It was better in grandfather's time."
3. **Bottom bubble (from the first character)**: "We can feed a whole city, Captain."
At the bottom of the panel, there is an additional line of text: "If Godzilla were real, we'd have made it industrialized meat by now."
The overall tone suggests a commentary on industrial fishing practices and the idea of larger mythical sea creatures not being a threat in an industrialized world.

**Title**: I collect times that authors innocently said something filthy.

**Panel 1**:
- **Source**: "Trial by Jury," W.S. Gilbert, 1875.
- **Illustration**: A man dressed in Victorian-era clothing looks serious, holding a piece of paper.
- **Text Bubble**: "Be firm, my moral pecker..."
- **Explanation**: At the time, "pecker" meant nose, as in the once common phrase "keep your pecker up!"
---
**Panel 2**:
- **Source**: "Pippa Passes," Robert Browning, 1841.
- **Illustration**: Another man with a beard and wearing a suit holds a sheet of paper in one hand.
- **Text Bubble**: "Then, owls and bats, cows and twats, monks and nuns, in a cloister's moods, adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!"
- **Explanation**: Browning mistakenly thought "twat" referred to a nun's headgear.
---
**Panel 3**:
- **Source**: "Sir Gibbie," George MacDonald, 1879.
- **Illustration**: A man looking surprised, with a thoughtful expression.
- **Text Bubble**: "He might have slept longer the next morning, for there was no threshing to wake him, in spite of the cocks in the yard that made it their business to rouse sleepers to their work, had it not been for another kind of cock inside him..."
- **Explanation**: MacDonald talking about an internal alarm clock in the worst way possible.
---
The illustrations feature distinct characters in period-appropriate attire, and the humor derives from the unintentional double meanings of certain words in their contexts. The explanations follow each quote to clarify the humor behind the phrases.

**Panel 1:**
**Person 1:** How do people ever fall for fascist propaganda, when it’s invariably hamfisted and stupid?
**Person 2:** Stupid is a feature, not a bug.
---
**Panel 2:**
**Person 3:** Propaganda isn’t stupid in order to reach stupid people. It’s stupid because stupid beliefs are a great costly signal of in-group loyalty.
---
**Panel 3:**
**Person 4:** Imagine being part of a group where the price for entrance is believing a tiny minority with strong opinions on bagels controls the planet via invisible orbital weapons. Once you’re in, you are WAY IN, and you have no friends outside the group.

**Panel 4:**
**Person 5:** Instant tight community, and no need to go to church or provide community service.

**Title:** YOU CAN MAKE YOUR BOSS’S SPEECH MORE MEMORABLE BY REPLACING THEIR MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE WITH RICHARD II’S SPEECH TO THE PEASANTS AT WALTHAM, 1381
**Text:**
You wretches detestable on land and sea:
you who seek equality with lords are unworthy to live.
Give this message to your colleagues: rustics you were,
and rustics you are still; you will remain in bondage,
not as before, but incomparably harsher.
For as long as we live we will strive to suppress you,
and your misery will be an example in the eyes of posterity.
- Wayne Gretzky
**Dialogue:**
WHAT?
WHY ARE YOU STARING?
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY HAIR?
