Panel 1:
Man with light hair (yellow shirt, dark jacket): My new hobby is creating vast mental networks of judgment.
Panel 2:
Man: When someone says something incorrect, I don't just think they're wrong. I project them into a whole universe of incorrect discourse built on flawed assumptions.
(A woman with dark hair and glasses stands listening beside him.)
Panel 3:
Man: Then I project those imagined views onto large groups of people!
Panel 4:
Man: Pretty soon I've convinced myself that there is one entirely ignored locus of reason in the universe, and by strange chance it happens to be me!
Panel 5:
Woman: Wow. Sounds like a lot of responsibility.
Panel 6:
Man: That's why I post so much on Facebook.
Votey:

A six-panel SMBC comic. A man with light hair in a yellow shirt and dark jacket talks to a woman with dark hair and glasses. He says his new hobby is creating vast mental networks of judgment: when someone says something incorrect, he doesn't just think they're wrong, he projects them into a whole universe of incorrect discourse built on flawed assumptions, then projects those imagined views onto large groups of people. He concludes he's convinced himself there's one entirely ignored locus of reason in the universe and, by strange chance, it happens to be him. The woman replies, 'Wow. Sounds like a lot of responsibility.' He answers, 'That's why I post so much on Facebook.' Votey: a head shown in profile with text above reading 'Say the change you want to see in the world,' riffing on the misquote about being the change you want to see.
