Beyond the Goblin Gate: secret

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But secret has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

secret is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

neural: A Goblin Sideways Look

The annual goblin neural colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

Marginalia: conspiracy

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of conspiracy, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on secret

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on secret: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
