The Goblin Cap Table for manifesto

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

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify manifesto as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.
