Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 15, 2010
Transcript:
Man: Excuse me, sir... I've been doing some research on the anti-Ekert, and we need to be very careful once we find him. Man: Why? Man: Well, legend has it that the Ekert and anti-Ekert may be pure matter and anti-matter, so if they make physical contact, the universe would implode. Man: Implode? Man: Yes, sir. Man: The entire universe? Man: Afraid so, sir. Man: OK... touching would be bad for business. Got it. Anything else? Man: Um... no, sir. After that, everything else is a moot point. Meanwhile, back at Megaconglomecorp...

PLEASE don’t tell him that such a collision would likely only wipe out a lot of the world. That could be viewed as GREAT for business.

I love Grog channelling Mr. Spock. It seems so appropriate to today’s cartoon.

I wonder when this guy will realize that HE is the anti-ekert.

freeholder1,
Hah, the ultimate application of the Broken Window Fallacy. I like Jean Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg’s exposition on the topic:

I think Wiley’s already hinted that the Anti-Ekert is Uncle Nixon.
All the jokes about A-E being some famous person who does (real or perceived) bad stuff are off-base. Think of what the Ekert does. He doesn’t do good deeds for people, other than eating bad thoughts. He’s a reverse muse - one who takes away certain inspirations (in this case negative ones).
The anti-Ekert thus does not inflict any kind of harm other than eating good thoughts. He/she is the ultimate downer, and universally so. That seems to fit Uncle Nixon’s description (and the DVD shrinkwrap inventor, come to think of it).

My theory is that the anti-ekert is dark energy, so the ekert won’t be able to interact with it anyway…

Funny enough, that was my first thought too, Jim.

That must be either Karl Rove, Rupert Murdoch or the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
