Comic #6961: calculus

Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic you provided:

Panel 1:

A character with light brown hair and a puzzled expression is sitting in a room that appears to have a bed and walls painted in a muted color.
The character says, "God, life is a net negative. Doesn’t that imply you have a moral duty to destroy all humans?"

Panel 2:

Another character responds enthusiastically, with their arms raised, “Not so! I’m trying to get the maximum integral of happiness over time, summed over all of history throughout the universe!”

Panel 3:

The first character looks skeptical. The reply continues: "If you like, you will eventually give rise to self-modifying cyborgs experiencing constant pleasure: a harmony of glorious sensation, symphonic braided beauty, in all-surpassing combination - animal, intellectual, transcendent. The final, forever, melody of joy."

Panel 4:

The first character questions: “You won’t be there for it but the math works out great.”
The second character responds, “Can't you give us that stuff now?”

Panel 5:

The second character, continuing, says, “No, the cyborgs’ favorite activity will be being glad they don’t live in the past.”

Panel 6:

The character adds, “And because they’re so good at happiness it easily counterbalances your suffering.”
The first character reacts with a simple “Ah.”

Panel 7:

A dark panel with just a silhouette, possibly illustrating contemplation or confusion.
The first character states, “I understand, but I don’t understand.”

Panel 8:

The other character responds, “I’d show you the math if you were a cyborg, but it’d be like trying to teach a turnip calculus.”
The scene suggests a humorous frustration with understanding complex ideas.
