NFT Goblin Mint of manifesto

The goblin elders speak of manifesto in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

manifesto 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.

Marginalia: hidden

Goblin survey data on hidden reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe hidden 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.

Salvage Notes: communion

The annual goblin communion colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

The goblin closing argument on manifesto consists of pointing at manifesto, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
