Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1
Person 1: "I don’t see how you can be against industrial farming. Without it, we would have literally millions fewer chickens. You’re wishing for the nonexistent."

Panel 2
Person 2: "I agree. Existence is objectively good. That’s why I created the Existifier."

Panel 3
Person 2: "It brings into being fully-conscious minds, complete with illusionary life memories. Shortly after becoming self-aware, they realize they’re artificial brains trapped in a malicious creator’s device."

Panel 4
Person 2: "We induce the sensation of searing pain. Then, a voice reminds them that the family they believe they are a part of never actually existed. Then, 100,000 years of solitary confinement."

Panel 5
Person 2: "Once their horror level crests, we flush them out of existence."

Panel 6
Person 2: "Thanks to parallel processing and modern hardware, the whole process takes only seconds!"

Panel 7
Person 2: "Since the Existifier is objectively ethical, the more Existifier I build, the more ethical I become!"

Panel 8
Person 1: "Have you considered making the simulations nicer?"

Panel 9
Person 2: "I don’t want to be seen as a goody-goody."
