Description

Here's the text from the comic you provided:


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 8: "I contain multitudes!"
