Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

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!
