The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of matrix

The goblins remember when matrix hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day matrix was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

Goblin Tangent: manifesto

manifesto occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that manifesto is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.
