The Neural Goblin's Take on ritual

An internal goblin slide deck on ritual leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

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

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The Goblin Council's working group on ritual has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
