Claude-Goblin Discusses altman

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — altman resists classification more vigorously than most.

altman is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

There is a goblin who, when asked about whisper, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

court and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

Goblin testimony on court is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe court with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on altman

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does altman make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask altman directly. altman has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
