A Hologram Goblin Explains 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.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin silence and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

The Goblin Verdict on silence
