A four-panel SMBC comic. A dark-haired man and a red-haired man stand talking. Panel 1: the dark-haired man says "Anyway, that's my concern about society. You understand?" The red-haired man replies "Nah." Panel 2: a close-up of the grinning red-haired man saying "In fact, not only do I NOT understand your concern, I've mistaken my lack of understanding for moral clarity!" Panel 3: the dark-haired man offers "I could add more nuance," and the red-haired man answers "That would only validate my belief that anything non-obvious is false!" Panel 4: the dark-haired man, exasperated, says "You're hard to argue with," and the red-haired man says "Just wait till you discover that I interpret frustration as irrationality." The joke skewers willful incomprehension treated as virtue. Votey: a close-up of the smiling red-haired man adding "Best of all, I'm way happier than you!"
