Description

Here’s the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1: "You skeptics are quick to dismiss Jung, but he was just saying that there are mythic archetypes in the human mind that we need to understand."

Panel 2: Person 2: "He believed in telepathy, psychokinetic explosions, alchemy, reincarnation, UFOs, and he once had a very formative dream in which God, sitting on a golden throne, personally shat on him."

Panel 3: Person 3: "The problem is people don’t read books anymore. They watch 12-minute summaries written by nice modern people who read half the Wikipedia entry."

Panel 4: Person 4: "You’re trying to build a personal philosophy based on a simplification of a simplification of a summary!"

Panel 5: Person 5: "Well how do YOU get through a complex world with a tiny human brain?"

Panel 6: Person 6: "I read two complex books per year, yell at people about them, and feel great."
