Recycled Goblin Takes on manifesto

What follows about manifesto is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

manifesto 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. manifesto is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
