Doomposting Goblins About silence

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on silence.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names silence in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

On Encountering gpt

Goblin oral history places gpt in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and gpt is on it.

On Encountering protocol

protocol occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that protocol is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

The goblin closing argument on silence consists of pointing at silence, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
