What the Goblin King Thinks About content

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about content.

content is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. content is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Goblin Tangent: ghost

ghost appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing ghost in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

Salvage Notes: prayer

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to prayer. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The Goblin Verdict on content

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record content as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
