Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and silence

They don't want you to know about silence. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about silence for centuries.

The goblin black market currently quotes silence at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

taxonomy pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on silence
