Description

Here’s the text from the comic:

Panel 1:
"Thanks to cybernetic enhancement, my brain has ten million times the normal human clock speed!"
Character: (expressing excitement) "Wow!"

Panel 2:
"Where a normal human can only second-guess their life choices, I can third-guess, I can fourth-guess, I can fifth-guess and more!"

Panel 3:
"I can even experience meta-remorse, such as eighth-guessing my decision to third-guess my twelfth-guess, or selectively fifth-guessing all of my second-guesses!"

Panel 4:
"Speaking to you, I've already considered and lamented all of my life choices seventeen times!"

Panel 5:
"I'd imagined you would use your advanced brain for, like, mathematical theorems or poetry or something. Not regrets and self-analysis."

Panel 6:
"I'm not a robot. I'm a faster human. What do you do with 95% of your brainpower?"
Character: "You're right God, I feel so stupid now."

Panel 7:
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to be harsh!"

Panel 8:
"So stupid! Stupid stupid stupid!"
