Description

Here is the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: "As a man of philosophy, I believe longterm consequentialism is the most valid ethical framework. All of our actions must be considered in light of their probable effects over the course of the future."

Panel 2: "As a man of science, I know humanity will likely never escape this solar system, and will thus have little to no effect on the other 99.999999999% of the cosmos."

Panel 3: "As a man of logic, I must therefore conclude that no action carries any moral burden."

Panel 4: "Sir, I’m just trying to deliver your pizza so I can leave."

Panel 5: "Long story short, I don’t tip more than five percent."
