Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: > Person 1: "Reality is subjective, so nobody wins the debate!"
> Person 2: "Stupid existentialist debate club."

Panel 2: > Postmodernist: "Hey, how are you?"
> Skeptic: "Here are 42 evidence-based arguments for my view."
> Postmodernist: "There's no such thing as truth!"
> Skeptic: "So… not 43? 43 would've overcome my status quo bias."

Panel 3: > "The fact that logic isn't self-proving is probably a salient feature of reality, but it isn't terribly pragmatic."
> Lady: "I asked for no cheese on this."
> Server: "Sorry, reality is a lie."

Panel 4: > "So, next time you get into a discussion, don't be a premature nihilator."
> Person 3: "Two minutes into a debate…"
> Person 4: "Well, according to Arrow's theorem, you’re wrong."
> Person 3: "Oh god… oh god… FACTS ARE INSCRUTABLE! FACTS ARE INSCRUTABLE! Sorry…"

Panel 5: > Person 4: "sigh That's okay. You good to debate a little more now?"
> Person 3: "I'm kinda tired?"
