Description

Here is the text transcribed from the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1: "Hey God, how come you permitted paradoxical statements, like 'this sentence is false'?"

Panel 2: God: "Oh, get over it."

Panel 3: Person 1: "What about the Yablo paradox?"

Panel 4: God: "Eh?"

Panel 5: Person 1: "You make an infinite list of statements, each of which says 'all the statements lower in the list are false.'"

Panel 6: God: "So?"

Panel 7: Person 1: "So pick one of them. If, say, the 17th one is true, then all the statements after it are false. But then you look at the 18th one, and it says everything that comes after it is false. According to the 17th statement, that's true, which makes the 17th statement false!"

Panel 8: Person 1: "God, are you there?"

Panel 9: God: "Sorry, I'm just seeing if I can flood all the philosophy departments."
