Touch Grass, Goblins: A digital Diagnosis

The old stories warn of digital in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware digital in the light.'

I am, I admit, biased about digital. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and digital is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

Goblin survey data on cipher reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe cipher primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

The Goblin Verdict on digital

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