Description

Here’s a detailed and accurate transcription of the text in the comic:

Panel 1: "Imagine there are men, chained inside a cave."

Panel 2: "They see the passing shadows cast by figures before a bright fire."

Panel 3: "Only a few are able to free themselves from the world of shadow and go to the light."

Panel 4: "But then, the people of the light created machines. Machines that could break the chains and mark the way out."

Panel 5: "And, it turned out, the machine light was way more entertaining than the fire thing."

Panel 6: "So much more entertaining, the people outside the cave decided to go back inside to play with the machines."

Panel 7: "So everyone went to live in the cave and had the best time ever."

Panel 8: "So, the reason the entire philosophy class was you playing video games… is the intersection of Platonism and hedonism."

Panel 9: "And, you see?"
