Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting altman

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what altman *is* to asking what altman *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting altman. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.
