Description

Here's the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: Character 1: What do you think we owe people of the distant future?
Character 2: Gee, hmm, good question. Let me think… oh!

Panel 2: Character 2: JACK SHIT!

Panel 3: Character 2: Considered in evolutionary time, you and I are going to die about six seconds before immortality and sex holograms. Everyone in that future is insanely rich and satisfied.

Panel 4: Character 1: Me setting aside something for them is like a starving war refugee putting aside an old pizza crust for the King of England. Stupid!

Panel 5: Character 2: I'm gonna do whatever I want, as much as I can, all day long and if my behavior harms my descendants then that is a BONUS!

Panel 6: Character 2: I've never met a longtermist whose goal is to sabotage the longterm.
Character 1: It's 99% of people, they just don't realize it.
