The Atemporal Goblin Diary About secret

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then secret is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

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

The Goblin Verdict on secret
