Whenever anyone asks me what fictional universe I want to live in, I say the Culture universe. Hands down the best sci-fi universe to live in as a regular humanoid. It’s a post-scarcity galactic paradise where if I ever get bored, I can plug into a Matrix-style simulation of any other fictional universe that’s 100% real to my senses. Or I’ll take any of a number of drugs that a gland in my brain can generate at will for shiggles. The possibilities are limitless.

I’ve read that strip before but it never made sense to me until now. I was today years old when I realized the play on words that Calvin is making and it’s really funny. Lol!

Operation Mindcrime is an awesome album that is filled with absolute bangers. It’s also exactly as relevant now as it was when it was released in 1988, which is terrifying. Still I highly recommend it. The follow up album Operation Mindcrime 2, not so much.
