I love these little evolutionary treatises. This seems kinda relevant: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2853

I don't remember this Petrevolt/AHC stuff at all. o_O Would someone mind a quick sum-up, or a link to the arc that explains it?

I'm calling it now, the president already has a(?) mistress, his bluster about monogamy is just for show.

Haha, this premise is great, and it's already paying off.

The scientist lady is obviously using them for stock market hijinx (not sure how exactly), but she should have put a little more thought into the implications of exponentially increasing shared consciousness.

There's no way Vera would implant a valuable brain chip without including a tracking device, is there? :ohdear:

Thorsby is handling the exponentially increasing scope of the comic pretty well so far. I think they're gonna need a new internal naming scheme pretty soon though...

I love the pacing of this comic so far. New Comic is pretty melancholy. The knowledge that their chips might all stop working soon (I doubt it) seems like another sort of mortality.

Only in a Thorsby comic could we end up with a narcoleptic tester here.

There goes another Earth :(

Though I guess there are so many of those things (universes) that the only reason to save one Earth is if you're the one on it.

I mean, the entire branch of universes that Ulf started on is under threat, but there are an infinity upon infinity of other universes where every other wonderful or terrible thing that could happen has happened. It's a weirdly comforting idea.

I would rethink a lot of my basic assumptions about the world if someone was able to accurately say something extremely specific, private and 'unguessable' about myself. Though it'd be a lot easier to convince me that you were a mind-reader rather than an elf :sun:

New comic. My prediction: The reading Ulfs will discover the concept of the anthropic principle, and realize that there are no aliens. The modern world has always been on the brink of nuclear annihilation from multiple sources and the only reason these Ulfs are still around is because it hasn't happened in their universes yet.

I just checked it out of curiosity, by week 21 there should be 2,097,152 Ulfs total, but there's only 713,866. That's 2 dead Ulfs for every living one.

Well the dead Ulf count is exponential too: For every Ulf that died x weeks ago, there are 2^x less Ulfs this week.

New comic reminds me what I like the most about thorsby comics, and what I think is sort of at his core. He doesn't cut any corners when it comes to considering all the ramifications of his premise. The way Ulf has been adjusting to his new 'sense' feels really realistic, and seems faintly analogous to people adjusting to the existence of smartphones and search engines and such.
