Description

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

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!
