A four-panel comic. A woman enthusiastically tells a man that studies show a correlation between semen exposure and better mental health for women, citing it as a reason to fund controversial basic research that a corporation would be too embarrassed to fund. She praises approaching everything with dispassion and curiosity to uncover miracles. The man replies that if it's a real chemical effect, they could isolate it and produce it synthetically. The woman immediately recoils, saying that seems like a frivolous use of tax dollars, revealing her interest was in the act rather than the science. Votey: a hand-drawn man looks glum beneath a speech bubble reading 'Some things we are not meant to know.'
