Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Person praying with a puzzled expression. Text:
"God, why is math so unreasonably effective?"

Response (God):
"It’s not."

Panel 2: God explaining with a confident look. Text:
"Look, the universe only contains like 3 kinds of math problem. Humans are so bad at connecting the dots that they perceive this as 80 trillion unrelated concepts."

Panel 3: Person looking shocked, hands raised. Text:
"So they discover that random motion is the same in a star and a petri dish and in the stock market and they freak out like some magic wizard stuff is going on, but it’s just the same issue so the same math applies!"

Panel 4: Person looking contemplative. Text:
"There are whole philosophy textbooks on the idea that it’s some kind of voodoo sorcery that some things are like other things! And that’s by your smartest people."

Panel 5: God yelling back, looking frustrated. Text:
"PLEASE STOP YELLING, GOD."

God’s response:
"Math isn’t unreasonably effective! Humans are unreasonably stupid!"
