The Slop Manifesto's Take on ritual

Recently declassified goblin field notes treat ritual not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of ritual, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
