Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and secret

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that secret is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

The slopification of secret was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. secret has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because secret was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

Goblin Periphery: ghost

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on ghost this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
