A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with red hair and glasses asks a balding man, "Say you could step inside a hallucination machine where you would experience perfect pleasure as long as you live. Would you do it?" Panel 2: The man earnestly replies, "I WOULD NOT. Because I want to experience reality, with all its ups and downs and comedies and tragedies. Better to try to glimpse the blinding light of truth than to dwell in the darkness." Panel 3: The woman says, "Say the machine actually exists and I have one." The man immediately answers, "Okay I'm in." The aftercomic (votey) reveals the so-called hallucination machine: a plain cardboard box with a handwritten label reading "Box of shrooms & porn."
